Bruiser Brody Vs. José Gonzalez

This story might just be the most famous and tragic backstage fight there was. It occurred between Frank ‘Bruiser Brody’ Goodish and José Gonzalez in Puerto Rico. It was known that Brody was a difficult customer to deal with since he was set in his ways and did things the way he wanted to. As time went on, the office in Puerto Rico was becoming frustrated with him. Wrestler and agent Gonzalez was given the task of dealing with Brody and he wanted to prove to his superiors that he was up to it. So, Gonzalez walked up to Brody holding a towel and asked if he could talk to him in the dressing room showers. Not long after, other wrestlers in the vicinity heard a scuffle and a terrible scream. Brody stumbled out of the bathroom and it was immediately obvious that he was stabbed by Gonzalez. Due to heavy traffic, it took almost an hour for the ambulance to arrive. Before they arrived, Gonzalez ran away. The next morning, Brody died from his wounds. Gonzalez was never charged with the murder as he claimed self-defense.

Mr. McMahon Vs. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin

One of the reasons The Attitude Era was so successful was the rivalry between “Stone Cold” and Mr. McMahon. However, behind the scenes, a professional disagreement between them led to Austin walking out on WWE in 2002. Following Austin’s walkout, WWE and Mr. McMahon publicly acknowledged the situation. Thankfully, time heals all wounds, and a meeting later that year allowed Austin and Mr. McMahon to resolve the matter.
