Brutus Beefcake

Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake was quite the sign of his era within the WWF.

When you know the storyline that led to it, Brutus Beefcake’s “Barber” days makes a good deal of sense. Still, seeing a man in his outlandish late 1980s outfits and mullet walking around with garden shears because he intends to cut his opponent’s hair is quite silly in retrospect.

That didn’t stop Beefcake from having a decent wrestling career. He only won one tag team championship in the WWF, but he won various titles in other promotions during his time in the ring. These days, Beefcake – real name Ed Leslie – has a different reputation.

After overcoming cocaine issues himself, Leslie was escorted away from the Toronto City Hall after supposedly coming there to have an intervention with Mayor Rob Ford, who was in the midst of a cocaine scandal.

Leslie, of course, was said to have come bearing a sub sandwich and some shears.
