10 Wrestlers Who Committed Disturbing Crimes

José Gonzáalez's crimes are all the more despicable to accept owing to the fact he has never had to face justice.

A World Wrestling Council stalwart from the early 1970s, González worked as one half of mid-card tag-team The Invaders in the WWF during the early '80s.

As Invader 1, González returned to Puerto Rico where he became a headline attraction throughout the 1980s.

González's chilling claim to fame occurred in July of 1988. After calling Bruiser Brody into the shower for what he believed was a conversation, González fatally stabbed Brody and left him for dead.

The event was hauntingly described in detail by Tony Atlas, who was talking with Brody before he was called into the shower. Brody would later pass away at the hospital, while González went out to wrestle that evening.

Arrested on charges of murder, González was acquitted after a jury accepted he had acted in self defense.

While both Atlas and Dutch Mantel were called to testify, their subpoenas were inconveniently sent after the trail had ended.

With Brody's murder a closed case, González continued his wrestling career, finally retiring in 2014.

Today, González is still disgustingly free and is the current corporate director of the World Wrestling League in San Juan.
