[1978-09-08-Houston Wrestling] Bruiser Brody vs Rocky Johnson

[shoe]

This was what it was. I've never been a fan of either man. Johnson is in full boxer gimmick. Brody seemed willing to sell a bit. Johnson's punches aren't really up to snuff for a boxer's gimmick.

This was a 2/3 falls taped fist match for the Brass Knuckle Title. Rocky came to the ring with 70's Heavyweight Cleveland Williams who they said was in charge of taping his hands, cool old school touch. The match itself was well laid out, with Brody doing more selling then I am used to seeing from him. Still the execution just wasn't there, if you are going to do a taped fist match, I am going to need to see stuff land, and both guys punches were really loose. I liked Brody ripping up the turnbuckle, and was surprised to see Rocky go over, but this wasn't nearly violent enough. Brody continues to be the biggest old school lie.
