 WRESTLER TURNED ACTOR BRICK BRONSKY DIES AT 57 FROM COVID Flex and Bronsky initially teamed as the Brat Pack, and remained colleagues. As the 6-foot-2, 230-pound Brick Bronsky, in Stampede Wrestling, Beltzner was a babyface in 1987-88, facing the likes of Steve DiSalvo, Bad News Allen and Goldie Rogers. During a bout against Kerry Brown on January 9, 1988, at the Agricom in Edmonton, Bronsky broke his ankle, and returned in April 1988. By the summer, Bronsky was gone from Stampede, and told reporters that he tore his lower bicep and that was why he got out of wrestling and into acting. ronsky did have matches in the WWF and WCW, and other bigger groups. He claimed to have turned down a WWF contract. “WWF was a big letdown. Competition is completely eliminated,” Bronsky said in The Morning Call in 1991. “There’s a lot more to professional wrestling than the phoney stuff you see on TV.” The first film role for Bronsky was as Jughead, a tattooed thug, in 1990’s Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D. His first starring role followed not long after, Troma Films cast Bronsky in Class of Nuke ‘Em High Part 2: Subhumanoid Meltdown, and its sequels. The Los Angeles Times reviewed Class of Nuke ‘Em High Part 2: Subhumanoid Meltdown in March 1991, and Kevin Thomas wrote that Bronsky “can project a sweet innocence with endearing wit and humor.” In October 1990, Bronsky faced a tough audience. He was a guest at Saucon Valley Middle School, in Pennsylvania, fielding questions from seventh graders. The students held a mock press conference, each having to prepare questions for Bronsky, on his pro wrestling or movie career. Other roles included Death Match (1994), as a Russian fighter facing Claude Van Dam in The Quest (1996), End of the World, Spin Cycle (2000) and Return to Nuke ‘Em High (2013). According to The Morning Call, Van Damme spotted Bronsky at the Cannes Film Festival and that’s how the wrestler got into The Quest. Beltzner also worked behind the scenes as an executive producer and director on various projects including Dark Dreams and 2019’s Masked Mutilator. |

Ah man. Covid is no joke. Brick was in one of my top 25 favorite movies of all time. Arena. I thought the sci Fi concept for arena fighting between alien and human was so good. I still in my mind eye, use the technology of Arena to make sense of the smaller guys being able to hang with monsters in a fight when I play COTG. If you can find it, watch it. For today the special effects are terrible, but it's worth it for the concept. RIP my man.
