"Your face doesn't match the rest of your body" - Brody King on how he developed his signature look
AEW star Brody King has revealed how he developed his signature image: his wrestling trainer.
The member of the House of Black only began training to become a wrestler in the mid-2010s, eventually making his debut in 2015 under the name "Brody King". He has since gone on to hold a variety of championships in Ring of Honor, PWG and NWA.
But how did Brody King's signature look of a long beard, tattoos on top of tattoos and a love for anything dark come to be? Speaking with Tony Schiavone and Aubrey Edwards on the AEW Unrestricted podcast, King revealed that his name is a tribute to the legendary Brusier Brody.
“I mean obviously Bruiser Brody, like that was one of the first people that I was told to watch because obviously I have a similar look. It’s funny because when I started wrestling training I didn’t have a beard. I never grew a beard, I didn’t even know I could grow a beard, and my wrestling trainer was like ‘can you grow a beard?’ and I was like ‘I don’t know’ and he goes ‘Well you should probably try because your face doesn’t match the rest of your body’ because I guess I have a baby face without this." said King [10:44-11:13]
