DragonKingKarl Greatest Kayfabe Tournament: Lou Thesz vs. Bruiser Brody
The next match in the ongoing Greatest Kayfabe Tournament has been voted on by you, the listener.
In this episode, we look at one of the greatest wrestlers in history in Lou Thesz and one of the greatest brawlers and wildmen in history in Bruiser Brody.
The two have some history together, but Thesz was from a generation earlier. How did you think Thesz’s mat skill would hold up against the sheer chaos of Brody? Plus, I give you some interesting background bits on both, and the two times they actually shared the ring together.
