On the latest episode of the Grilling JR Podcast, Jim Ross talked about Brodie Lee and his impact on the AEW locker room and the wrestling business. Last AEW’s Wednesday night Dynamite was dedicated to the life of Brodie Lee that started with a 10 bell salute with the entire roster and his family on the stage. Ross talked about not knowing the impact Lee had on the business until now and talked about a conversation he had with Lee’s son Brodie Jr.
“I didn’t have any clue, and it didn’t bother me to admit this, that Brodie Lee was as popular with his peers as he was,” Ross said. “It’s absolutely phenomenal. It’s overwhelming, the outpouring of love for this guy who kind of stayed off the radar all those years. Then to find out he was universally loved by talents at every level.
Some creep tried impersonating Brodie Jr. on Twitter

They’re not my bag, but if you want to have a clearly marked role playing account of your favorite wrestler, that’s cool.
It gets weird when people don’t clearly identify themselves as fictional or satirical versions of the person/character, though. And pretending to be a child or the widow of a man who just died a week ago. In the immortal words of The Iron Sheik, “Go F Yourself.”
AEW didn’t use Sheiky Baby’s catchphrase, but that’s the spirit of this tweet, sent after an account purporting to belong to eight year old Brodie Lee Jr. popped up, and even conned some prominent wrestlers and wrestling personalities into following it.
