On the third anniversary of his unfortunate passing, AEW’s official Twitter account re-shared the tribute video for Brodie Lee, set to ‘Ol 55’ by Tom Waits. Naturally, there was not a single dry eye when AEW released the video.
”Today marks three years since the world lost Jon Huber, Mr. Brodie Lee. Please join us in celebrating Big Rig by sharing your favorite memories. #BrodieLeeForever”
