10 Most Emotional Shows In Wrestling History
Triumph, tragedy and everything in between, the business sure does run the gamut...
5. Brodie Lee Celebration Of Life
The death of Jonathan 'Brodie Lee' Huber completely stunned the wrestling world.
Brodie was young, had wrestled on television just a few months beforehand and nobody outside of a small circle knew about his illness or the severity of it.
There was an immediate outpouring of grief for a devoted family man who was beloved by many, and AEW - the organisation that employed him at the time of his passing - decided to dedicate the December 30, 2020 episode of Dynamite to him, calling it the Brodie Lee Celebration of Life.
The matches, as usual on shows like this, were largely inconsequential, but did feature all the members of the Dark Order stable that Lee was the leader of and were uplifting in their way.
It was the moments that tugged on the heartstrings, whether it was the video testimonials from his colleagues, the incredible tribute video or Tony Khan awarding Brodie's son the TNT Title belt and naming him 'TNT Champion for Life'.
An exceptionally classy tribute to a talented performer and, by all accounts, a great guy.
