Who Remembers a Wrestler by the Name of the Brooklyn Brawler? [VIDEO]
World Wrestling Entertainment released Steve Lumbardi last week. Most hardcore wrestling fans would remember Lumbardi by another name. How about the Brooklyn Brawler? Yup, that's the one!
Can I be totally honest with you, wrasslin' fans? Not only was I surprised he was still with WWE, I actually thought he died years back. Sorry Mr. Lumbardi.
Here's a look back at the Brooklyn Brawler.
After a flurry of company cutbacks, Steve Lumbardi, AKA The Brooklyn Brawler, was quietly released after 30 years serving as a producer and agent.
I tend to agree with the video above that there should be a place in the WWE Hall of Fame of well known, popular "jobbers" in the wrestling business. The Brawler faced and put over a lot of up and coming talent who would wind up being superstars for Vince McMahon's company.
Time will only tell.
