Bruiser Brody is one of the tougher wrestler autos to get. Just wondering if the board had any idea on the value of this autograph?

On July 16, 1988, Brody was in the locker room before his match with Dan Spivey in Bayamón (a city near San Juan, Puerto Rico), when José Huertas González, a fellow wrestler and booker, asked him to go into the shower to discuss business. Brody entered the shower stall and a few minutes later a scuffle ensued, followed by two groans, loud enough for the entire locker room to hear. Tony Atlas ran to the shower and saw Brody bent over and holding his stomach. Atlas then looked up at González and saw him holding the knife. When the paramedics arrived, Atlas carried Brody downstairs to the waiting ambulance, as, due to Brody's enormous stature, paramedics were unable to lift him. González, who always maintained his innocence, was initially charged with first-degree murder but was later reduced and tried for involuntary homicide. Dutch Mantell received his supoena after the trial was over and Tony Atlas refused to testify and without his testimony the District Attorney had no case. Some wrestlers were scared to death and made no declaration to the police at the time of the events. However Tony Atlas declared what he saw but refused to testify, several years later came back to Puerto Rico to work with the promotion. In January 1989, González was acquitted on all counts, citing self-defense. Carlos Colón testified against Brody during the trial. Minutes before the incident Carlos Colón was having a conversation with González, and Colón knew of González intentions of "having a conversation" with Brody.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

This is why you should never run with scissors or take knives into the shower!
What makes a Bruiser Brody autograph so valuable is that he was a true wild man. He also was like a nomad and traveled all over the world and spent a great deal of time in Japan.
This item is extremely unique as not only is it a signed but on the right item.
Many of the wrestlers who had "heat" or at times worked "heel" stayed in character at all times and would not sign or be pleasant with fans.
There were no wrestling conventions like today where the good guys and bad guys are both at and where you can get any performers signature for a price.
You must determine if this is an item you really want to own or you must hit the bid.

Just looked at your auctions. I really like that von Erich. It looks like it may be out of my price range though.

<< <i>Navarro, I am in the market for your signed Bruiser Brody....how much can I get one for? >>
If you have any connections for a ticket to the BCS Championship game Id trade you for one ticket as long as it's not obstructed view.
Otherwise, I'd take $1200 off eBay for it

Carlos Colón is the father of Carlito Colon who was in the wwe.

Thanks Rob. Didn't expect to wake up to pee and check my phone and see a serious offer like that. I am glad it is going to a home that will appreciate it. Hard to say goodbye to some items. That is one.
My kids watched a lot of wrestling, but I had never even heard of Bruiser Brody. Interesting sounding guy.
He wasn’t a WWF guy. He was also sometimes called King Kong Brody.
