Right now, Brutus Beefcake is getting an angry phone call from Hulk Hogan because he forgot to mention that this was also the reason why he wasn't able join Metallica and why he was passed over in favor of George Foreman for the line of grills.

2:04 is when he FINALLY answers the question

[acealexandermccloud]

He said all that and I’m still saying savage decked his ass! 😂

I just wanted to say, as a 80s kid growing up on WWF, Thank you Brutus The Barber Beefcake, I was and still am a huge fan of yours, I loved your Barber Shop segments, they were sooo good, funny and crazy, I grew up watching WWF/WWE, and kinda lost interest around 2004, 2005,
I'm 43 years old from Vancouver BC Canada, and I wanted to say thank you Ed, you always made me laugh and cheer, and I wish you the best, thank you 💪💪

Brutus the only guy that takes the time to reply to everyone's tweets got to respect the guy 😀

Brutus The Barber Beefcake was 1 of my favourite wrestlers growing up in the UK best sleeper hold ever! Wouldn't go to the Barber Shop for a trim though. Thanks for the memories.

I remember when he was in this accident with the wave runners. It was on our local news here in Tampa, Fl. Hogan’s son was also on that Wave Runner. The story Brutus is telling is legit. I’m pretty sure you can find the news article on the internet.

[fizzlewiggle]

I feel like he could've told this story in two sentences instead of two

[bigc]

You wonder what the shoot interview is going to be like 10-20 years from now when all these older wrestlers are gone because the current generation of wrestlers really don’t get into much trouble or have much drama attached to them.

[brandi]

Honesty even in the face of personal beef (no pun) shows how respect Beefcake still has for Hogan. Great interview.

I met Brutus Beefcake at Emerald City Comics in February this year, coolest guy that you can ever meet, he isnt friends with Hulk anymore but respects him on a business level, he doesn't like Ric Flair because he said a lot of untrue things about Brutus which i didn't get into, he loved Andre the Giant and Randy Savage and respected them a lot, didnt like The Warrior because he was rude and didn't care about anyone else in the locker room, didn't like David Sammartino because he couldn't wrestle and was a quitter, loved Bruno and enjoyed working with him, really enjoyed working with Mr Perfect and wrestling him, loved working with Greg Valentine and Johnny Valiant, said that he cut Adrian Adonis hair because he accidentally got his hair trimmed by Adonis in a six nan tag team match and wanted to turn Babyface and Vince picked him to do job, loved Roddy Piper, loved almost everyone that he wrestled and worked with, including Earthquake in WCW in the dungeon of doom, he's basically a really cool chill guy and he has bad knees and back pain that makes it hard for him to work out and walk, he was having trouble walking when he left that meet and greet but hes strong as hell and shaking his hand is like a vice grip, he's the coolest wrestler i have met and I loved talking to him about wrestling, God bless you brother Bruti.

The wave runner story is from an episode of Baywatch. It happened to Hulk on the tv show.

[evilwillhunting]

Remember in the Karate Kid when Daniel tells Myiagi he got the black eye from falling off his bike…

And Miyagi pointed out it’s weird he didn’t hurt his hand.

You don’t get a black eye without other injuries unless someone punched you in the eye.

That waverunner would have messed up a lot more of his face if it happened that way.

I don’t buy it, Bruti.

[thehashtagtrashbag]

The wave runner was named Randy Savage

[thewhitepanther]

Alot of people were a brutus 'the barber' beefcake fan! But the rest of his gimmicks stunk!

[ghosty_haunto]

On the WWF summer tour in 1993, both Beefacke and Hogan wrestled. I was at the London event: Beefcake defeated Terry Taylor and Hogan defeated Yokozuna (via DQ).

[erickh]

That wave runner had knuckles called MACHO MAN!!!!

[donc]

Regardless of what happened....glad to see Beefcake on the show. He's one of my favorites. Anxiously waiting for the full interview.

[walterclark]

Beefcake was great in Wcw as the disciple. He had a biker/Hell's angel look and he was in shape like Rick Rude. Just excellent.
