Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake And His Exploding Face (Dark Side of the Ring Season 5 Review)

[@dragonchaserkev]

Definition of riding someone's coattails. to be honest he made it work, personally I thought the Disciple was his coolest gimmick, didn't even know it was him at the time to be honest. Amazing recovery story, insane accident.

[@Kaltagstar96]

It was weird, Disciple looked like a totally different human being, I don't know what it was, but Beefcake looked like he was a decade younger in that gimmick.

So he was No Face before Sin Cara and Booty Man before Mr. Ass.

[@brandonh9557]

I met Brutus at a bar in my hometown after an independent show in 2013. He wasn't super outgoing but he was friendly. He posed for a picture with me and did a shot with me and the girl I was dating at the time.

Brutus took the original V trigger

john morrison has more names then anyone i've ever seen

[@kidhalloween8570]

Bischoff came off as jealous of Brutus and Hulk’s friendship

[@dawnclark4635]

Pretty sure Hulk has two cheeks they can line up to kiss.

[@maqclark]

It seemed like he resented having to hire Beefcake as part of getting Hogan.

[@Farmerb1985]

Amazing episode

[@juansanchez209]

I know Bruce Prichard isn’t exactly everybody’s favorite person, but he did a FANTASTIC recap of the incident and Brutus’ journey coming back from this injury on his podcast a few years ago (it’s in the Brutus Beefcake episode). I recommend checking it out.

[@lancethefilmguy9392]

He even put Brutus over.

[@bryanmack4054]

Prichard is kind of a mcmahon kiss ass but he does have some pretty good takes…even Bret admitted to him that even though he didn’t exactly agree with him, he appreciated his take on the Montreal drama and everything that led to it

[@mrmoviemanic1]

@@bryanmack4054 Yer Bruce is a stooge, but he's a stooge that has a lot of good points. He's pretty much the Petyr Balish of WWE's Game of Thrones. He or Eric Bischoff.

[@user-bf8ki9tc8j]

I remember being 9 years old reading wwf magazine back in the day on how if brutus gets punched in the face his face will face to pieces and i believed in 100% as a kid. I was always very worried and concerned for him when he was at ringside back then haha

[@SpocksEvilKlone]

I met Honky Tonk Man at a convention in Calgary about 12 - 13 years ago and asked him (I apologized for asking insider info) if there was ever a plan for Beefcake to win at Summerslam '88 and he told me pretty much the same story. He said it was sometime around WM 4 that the decision was made to put the title on Warrior at Summerslam.

[@lexkanyima2195]

8:13 was more of Hogan's desicion of not having Beefcake to suceed of his push. Honky should have never became IC Champ to begin with. Beefcake would be have been a solid IC champ, instead of Jake, Duggan, Dibiase.

[@kumajin3621]

Hulk's promo on wcw during the dungeon of doom era, about the booty man unforgiveablely lives on in the echoes of my mind. Hogan " Booty, booty, booty, booty, booty "

[@EVGriffinJr]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@VicHD]

You feel bad for Beefcake at times, but at least he's happy with his current wife.

[@samoanjoseph1457]

Sounds like he's the only one who is, though.

[@EVGriffinJr]

It could be that his wife is suspect, but it makes me wonder if those stores I used to hear about Hogan/beefcake weren’t legit. It’s awfully funny how Hulk got an attitude towards her all the sudden when she showed up or rather an attitude towards Brutus.

[@dmaxwell9827]

Given what we heard I think he is in a great position as he's healthy and happily married. I think Misdy saved his life as otherwise he would have kept partying to excess with drink and drugs with his friends and would of ended up killing himself as he clearly can't manage himself.

[@BigBadJerryRogers]

​@@EVGriffinJrHogan had insane jealousy and lust in his eyes for Missy Beefcake. And it's ruined the whole beautiful thing the Mega Maniacs had. The story is as old as wrestling.

[@EVGriffinJr]

@@BigBadJerryRogers 😂😂😂😂

[@davidgi3]

Mr Perfect had been pinned by Hulk Hogan and Dusty Rhodes on house shows… also Ultimate Warrior pinned Mr Perfect on MSG tv a few weeks before WM6, which I always thought was odd that they’d say Brutus broke the streak at WM6 when many people saw Warrior beat him on cable tv

[@gaipontiff2]

There is an urban legend out there that I heard many years ago that the original wrestler that WWE wanted to play the Brutus Beefcake character was Wayne Ferris. AKA The Honkytonk Man. Supposedly, he turned it down, and then Hogan suggested Ed Leslie.

[@BigBadJerryRogers]

This type of face injury is commonly seen in fatal car crashes, people who jump off tall buildings or are beaten to death. I had to learn all about this sort of thing due to my own face injury but it was nowhere near as bad as this.

[@lexkanyima2195]

Ouch

[@nonstopper1410]

The paragliders accident was the origin story of the "V trigger" knees to the face! Yikes

[@samoanjoseph1457]

I can't believe someone heard that story and thought that was a great idea. I mean, it seems to be done safely and all, but still. The way some people's minds work...

[@jerranspearman3369]

good review

[@JohnWilliams-wl9px]

I didn’t know Beefcake was a childhood friend of Hogan. I thought they met because they were paired together as the Boulders.

[@claymathewselevator8121]

Loved this review

[@Tim85-y2q]

Brutus main evented Starrcade in 1994. He got to do that because he was Hogan's friend and no other reason but I still wouldn't call it nothing.

[@mrterp04]

17:13 WILL YOU STOP?!?

[@Hammerhead547]

His story reminds me an awful lot of the story of racing legend Niki Lauda. They both made miraculous recoveries from accidents that should, by all rights, have killed them. Lauda was nearly burned alive in a horrifying accident at the 1976 German Grand Prix and underwent an intensely agonizing treatment plan (which he personally requested) in order to speed up his recovery and made his return (too a heroes welcome from the tifosi) to the track just 90 days after his accident at the '76 Italian Grand Prix at monza. A race that went down in F1 legend because he won while blood was dripping from his bandages into his racing boots and gloves.

[@bpbroadcasttv]

Should have been big booty brother or big booty brown 😂😅

[@12ozmouse99]

I think you mean “Face Off: The Bootyman Story”

[@ROBken2654]

A man who’s in love with his own lover backside

[@jordanbyford2693]

My brain hurts listening to all the names he had 😂😂

[@chuck0585]

I actually liked episode

[@nwo2cool]

I always called Brutus Beefcake, "The Bootyman," because it's a funny and stupid name.

[@haraldrauppraupp1761]

The was no solomonster review of the Harley Race and Chris Colt episodes ?

[@benespinosa6725]

Brutus beefcake was awesome the barber gimmick was great lol Sid destroying the barber shop and shaving cream hits his face is easily my favorite moment of brutus beefcake's career I've lost count of how many gimmicks he had lol the clipmaster made me laugh when solomonster said i know this is going to be a shock to you all that made me laugh more than I should've bravo.

[@jadmantoura4483]

You say you don’t know what the point of The Run In Man gimmick was? Nothing is more ridiculous to me than Jim Neidhart once being called “Who”. At least Neidhart actually had some talent behind him. This guy could compete with Bruce Prichard for Ronda Rousey’s self appointed title of “What did you say you did here?” He literally only has a name of any kind in wrestling because he was a parasite to Hulk Hogan.

[@CGB_Crash]

How much you wanna bet Beefcake never *once* called Eddie small to his face?

[@austinpopdan4190]

Brutus had a killer theme song.

[@samoanjoseph1457]

I remember him as Zodiac in Dungeon of Doom but I always thought of him as the Zebra since it was a black and white look. But at least he wasn't THE YE-TAY! In any case, if the guy has eyeballs falling out of his skull, even if there was no pain I can't really blame him for getting high.

[@samwashington4872]

The disciple gimmick wasn’t that bad.

[@springer90]

The Zodiac was a hell of a gimmick.

[@claymathewselevator8121]

Didn’t know he appeared in a couple movies

[@thewrestlingoldhead]

The Man of a Thousand Gimmicks.

[@Shelver92]

Beefcakes face looks like mine when I have to take a vicious dump and can't find a toilet nearby.

[@HisNameWasCrazy]

I really thought this was a late April Fools video for a second.

[@Dre973Andre]

Sounds like faceoff

[@sangriento9699]

That is y Nakita, Rick Rude, the Road Warriors, Steiners, the whole samoan family, the hearts, not even Shawn nor Paul hhh wanted to work with them. Many more.

[@TheAxeGrinder]

Beefcake whining about DDP's chairshot will never not be funny.

[@sangriento9699]

Brother love. Come on man. The prichards know. Briscoe. The barber shop was the same thing as brother loves scene. Shawn and Marty know. Hogan is bi. Come on man. Yea the Poffo's knew. Yea the hammer and hacksaw can tell you. Ask Nash.
