Over the weekend the wrestling world unfortunately lost a beloved talent as Brodie Lee passed away at the age of 41 due to a non COVID-19 related lung issue.
Lee worked with some interesting names throughout his career, and former AEW World Champion Jon Moxley is someone who he worked with many times.
Jon Moxley recently spoke to Sports Illustrated about Brodie Lee’s death and he said that he still hasn’t accepted it.
“It doesn’t feel real. It feels like I’m in a very vivid dream and I’m waiting to snap out of it. My brain hasn’t accepted it yet. Right now, I’m completely f—— numb.”
Moxley also noted that he was very supportive of Brodie Lee joining AEW.
“The first night we wrestled each other, we shared a hotel room together later that night. That was over a decade ago. He was an incredible person. While so many of us would be all hot about some wrestling angle, he would find a way to turn negatives into a positive or an inside joke. He was the exact person you wanted in the locker room. I was so glad to be around him again in AEW.
And we wrestled so many times. Whether it was on the indies, in The Shield–Wyatt war, six-mans on house shows and European tours, it felt like we were always together. When Tony Khan asked me about Brodie in AEW, I said, ‘Hell yeah, I want that match.’ We could wrestle each other in our sleep. He was so f—— good.”
Our sincerest condolences go out to Brodie Lee’s family, friends and fans.
