I am going totake issue with this point. Brody has this rep for being great at uncontrollable brawls but I think there are about 50 guys that smoke him as a brawler. Even before ECW, there are tons of guys who were better brawlers than Brody esp. in Memphis and Mid South. Hell, even in World Class where most Americans would have seen him, all three Freebirds and the Von Erichs had more hellacious brawls than anything I have seen Brody in. I think people see his bloody photos in some random PWI issue and come to quick conclusions instead of actually watching the matches.

JHawk, I think Loss has a copy of the Global match.

Chris Jericho & Christian vs. Booker T & Goldust 12/23/02 One of the matches that I see Loss heap praise on is the No Mercy tag between Booker & Goldust vs. Christian & Jericho. I haven't seen the No Mercy tag in awhile but I know it was getting hot before the ropes break. However, I did get to see the match between the two teams that took place on RAW 12/23/02. I thought this one ran circles around the No Mercy tag and that isn't a knock on that match so much as it is praise for this one. Well, the tag match is more story driven than move driven but I was happily surprised at the lack of blown moves considering that Booker, Goldust and Jericho have all been criticized heavily for their poor execution. For those who don't remember, Goldust was under fire for being the weak link of his team and urging Booker to find another partner. The main story of the match is that Goldust and Booker would break-up if they lost and everytime that Booker and Goldust gained the upper-hand, something would happen to cast doubt on a victory. Early in the match, it appeared they won but the ref ordered the match restarted. I usually hate these kind of moments but it fit by making the crowd doubt the outcome. The rest of the match was a showcase of how many false finishes can be incorporated to cast doubt on the outcome of a match. Whether it was Jericho reversing the Curtain Call, trapping Goldust in the Walls while Booker was unable to help, Jericho using the ropes for leverage in an illegal pin that the ref did not see, to Jericho setting up the Lionsault with the bulldog, it semeed like they had exhausted the possible situations in which Bookdust could win. After the restart, the match seemed to be arranged for the inevitable crowd let down but the crowd was going absolutely nuts at the ending and deservedly so. It was Goldust who won the titles for his team and a perfect moment of redemption that usually isn't captured in WWE TV matches.

I don't think it ranks up there with Eddie's death or Curt's in wrestling in response or impact but it is shocking as it was completely unexpected. Personally, i don't like to think about who is next because you hope that despite all their faults, that these guys can get it together and live a decent life.

That would explain why it was so dead
