#9 Brutus the Barber Beefcake
Real Name: Ed Leslie
Trending
Debut: 1977
A former WWE writer just went after JBL for his comments HERE
Career Accolades: Most of Beefcake's title victories came with Greg Valentine as his partner. They held the AWF and BCW tag team titles, before joining the WWE as the Dream Team and capturing those tag team titles as well.
Ed Leslie began his career with one of the most lucky positions possible, working closely with Hulk Hogan, as his 'brother.' Originally they were the Bollea Brothers, then the Hogans, with Leslie portraying younger, somewhat incompetent brother Dizzy Hogan.
The Barber gimmick came about when he split with Greg Valentine to become a babyface. Oddly, in spite of being cheered for by the fans, he actually acted very much like a heel, giving his opponents terrible haircuts after rendering them unconscious with his sleeper finisher.
Why he never held the WWE's big belt: Beefcake had a great look, and was always in tremendous condition, but a combination of timing and bad luck during a parasailing incident helped conspire to keep him out of the main event picture. It was also rumored that Vince McMahon never considered Beefcake more than a mid-card draw.
