10 Famous Wrestlers No One Liked Working With

Dealing with Bruiser Brody could get even uglier than the state of his forehead.

The founding father of hardcore knew his worth and then some, straight up refusing to do business if he felt it wasn't up to scratch. A huge ticket-seller, the chain-swinging wild man's star power was at its biggest in Japan. Much like Stan Hansen, Brody wanted to protect the indestructible aura he'd built up in All Japan. Therefore, he frequently refused to sell for talent in the US and Puerto Rico. Even World champs such as Ric Flair and Nick Bockwinkel got little out of him.

Worse still, Brody had a bad habit of no-showing and would sometimes get in the ring only to shut down and refuse to wrestle (just ask Lex Luger). A star in a time where kayfabe still ruled, or when people allowed themselves to get wrapped up in it all, Brody's business-exposing antics infuriated the whole industry.

Brody also had an unfortunate penchant for brutalising wrestlers he felt were beneath him. Even a very young Undertaker fell victim to Brody's aggressive antics, suffering a pitiless beatdown in WCCW.

When asked about the brawler's death, Harley Race said, rather chillingly: "Frank was the type of guy that if he knew he could bully you, you had a miserable-ass time in the ring with him. When he left to go to Puerto Rico, I told him, 'Frank, if you go over there with this type of an attitude, you're not going to live to get off the island,' and he didn't."
