Summary

This week, “The Grizzled Vet” Michael McCurdy sits down with Barbara Goodish, the widow of Bruiser Brody, for a very different kind of wrestling conversation.

Rather than focusing only on the legendary wild man fans saw in the ring, Barbara tells the story of Frank Goodish the man, how they met in Australia, how their relationship began, what life was like with a wrestler who spent most of the year on the road, and the family they built together.

Barbara also shares stories about Frank as a husband and father, the quiet side of him fans rarely saw, the way he separated Bruiser Brody from his home life, and the plans he was already making for life after wrestling.

It’s a warm, personal look at one of wrestling’s most unforgettable figures from the person who knew him better than anyone.

This isn’t just the story of Bruiser Brody.

It’s the story of Frank Goodish.
