10 Best Stories Wrestlers Have Shared About Brodie Lee

4. The UpUpDownDown Montage

Monday night saw Xavier Woods pay tribute to Brodie Lee on Raw - complete with a Brodie armband, hitting a discus clothesline, and copying Lee's mannerisms - before following that up with an emotional, heartbreaking appearance on Raw Talk to discuss the tragic passing of his friend.

Since then, Woods and his UpUpDownDown crew have put together a phenomenal montage of UUDD clips to give wrestling fans a glimpse at just how damn entertaining Brodie was behind the scenes and away from the squared circle.

Complete with more thoughtful, warming words from Woods, this footage is guaranteed to make you smile.

It's impossible to watch the above footage and not be left with a huge, dopey grin on your face.

Backing up plentiful other such tributes and reflections, it's clear that Brodie Lee brought an utterly unique energy and vibrancy to any locker room or backstage setting he was a part of. It's also clear that Brodie was an intense gamer who didn't take kindly to losing and was always quick to celebrate any and all gaming victories in a gloriously obnoxious way.
