noun INFORMAL

attractive men with well-developed muscles.

Ah, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake. The moniker Beefcake, to play devil's advocate does make sense as a wrestler name to some degree as per it's dictionary definition.

However, Beefcake in the PG world of 1980s WWE does seem suspiciously sexual as a moniker.

The Barber part of Brutus Beefcake's name somehow makes it sound ever more ludicrous, as if he were some specialised member of the Chippendales.

A truly nutty name, for a wrestler who was extremely limited as a performer between the ropes as well.

Is it any worse that one of his subsequent character names; The Booty Man, for instance?

The Booty Man is on a level with Mr Ass for sure.

Amazing that this man main evented Summerslam 1989 and was inducted into the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame. Even more incredible that he enjoyed career success with an array of the worst wrestler names in history.
