Manny Fernandez is full of shit.
He claims to have deliberately injured Invader 3 during a match with a series of stiff knee drops in retaliation for the Bruiser Brody murder on July 17th 1988.
This is the match. It took place at a TV taping on May 11th 1988. Two whole months before Brody's murder even occurred. The kneedrops are light and Invader 3 drank vodka and pig's blood before the match so he could puke it all up on command. It wasn't real at all.
Here he is saying how it was payback for Brody, and how he never wrestled for the company again because he was so disgusted about what they did.
Never went back? Here is a video of him wrestling for the exact same company (WWC) again in 1990.
I think that using your friend's murder to make yourself seem more badass than you are is really pathetic.
I have watched a few of his interviews and he seems like a real douche who overstates his impact on the business and seems to think he could have beaten anyone in a legit fight. I was mostly watching wwf and especially mid south back in those days, so I didn't see him a lot, but whenever I did see him he seemed like an afterthought
