10 Brodie Lee Matches To Rewatch And Relive

This was the closest Brodie Lee came to a winning a major world championship during his 17-year professional wrestling career. That in itself should be seen as an indictment against the pro wrestling industry, more specifically the creative team in charge of pushes and burials in WWE. How do you have a man this talented on your roster and never really do anything with him outside the confines of the tag team division?

AEW had a better handle on the talent of the man, and Lee immediately found himself thrust into world title contention. Jon Moxley vs. Brodie Lee was signed for AEW Double or Nothing, the company's first big event of the pandemic era and the first with Brodie on the roster. Not many gave The Exalted One a shot at winning the championship, but proving people wrong had been Lee's MO of late.

As with the majority of the matches on this list, Brodie was bested by his babyface opponent, although he did not give up and he was not pinned. A 15-minute exercise in violence came to an end with Brodie passing out in Moxley's bully choke, forcing the referee to call the match in favour of the champion. Brodie was defeated but unbowed, an established presence in the upper echelons of AEW.

Brodie and Moxley were no strangers to each other, with their first match together coming way back in 2010 in Evolve (an event headlined by Bryan Danielson vs. Bobby Fish, for the record). Oh, how far they had come.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
