Beefcake is an absolute clown. I find it hard to believe a word that comes out of his mouth. He thought he was more over than warrior? Seriously? I’m not denying one bit beefcake was over, he was. You watch survivor series 89 and the crowd gets loud when he comes out. But he was not more over than warrior.
Apparently, WArrior was booed (as a face) in many venues in the late 80s, especially in his matches vs André. So, technically, in those instances, Brutus was indeed more over.
Brutus seems like a guy that’s fun to party with, but you can tell his stories are far fetched. I am still salty about the fact that Beefcake never got to win the IC title from Honky Tonk Man, but Warrior being the one to do it worked out really good too.
He was seriously injured that required surgery on his face. But Vince should made another effort to put the belt on him. In fact, Jake the snake was suppose to win the belt also. Unfortunately, he was frequently in rehab. Honky Tonk man was never suppose to hold the belt that long. It just turned out that way because Jake couldn't stay sober and beefcake's horrific beach accident. I still believe Vince should've called beefcake in as a surprise guess to cut his hair in the "battle of the billionaires" between Bobby Lashley and Umaga.
The best Brutus story is how he fell asleep working as a security guard on the subway in Boston and a coworker found his bag of coke and called the police thinking it was anthrax and the whole subway system got shut down. 2002ish
Yep! It was during the post 9-11 scare when someone was mailing anthrax in letters all over the country. I don’t think they ever found who did it either. Maybe it was Brutus.

As a kid I loved Brutus but as an adult gotta admit his character was rough. A lot of these characters were bad no wonder my parents thought it was dumb.
It's baloney when Brutus says his "Beefcake" character was so over. They had to put Valentine, a great worker, in a tag team with him to actually have the match. The only reason he ever got jobs in 'rasslin at all was he was Hogan's buddy.
On one hand you’ve got a wrestling historian giving factual recollections and sometimes including handwritten evidence while being humble as can be. On the other side you’ve got maybe the most famous tag along in history, acting like he was on top during the time in question, obviously making up answers as he goes along and still putting himself over in between nods. You could give yourself whiplash going between these extremes!😆
38:34 How do you take someone’s feet “off” and reattach them especially in the 70’s-80’s??? In the mid 80’s they had to amputate Kerry Von Erich’s foot because it was messed up and they’re gonna cut off both Butch’s feet and successfully reattach both of them!?
Both men have been known to lie... for different reasons... Brutus is deadset on putting himself and Hogan over at any cost - deflecting criticism and making up grandiose and unbelievable tall tales (minus Hogan's natural charisma and gift of gab). Cornette is deadset on protecting anyone who made him money/likes personally/is a direct blood relative of the latter two and degrading anyone he ever had an argument with/feels makes a foil for his online character. Yet, if Corny is neutral on the people involved, he can be a reliable historian with an excessively long memory and vast knowledge of wrestling's past (with the obligatory embellishments here and there for the sake of making a better story) . And Brutus? Well... Brutus can't counted on to remember what he had for dinner last night save for the blow he had for dessert.
I’ve heard Cornette say “if he was a walking through a men’s locker room then he’ll be whistling Stranger In Paradise” (a Tony Bennett song) and have never got the reference. So I’ve looked through Apple Music seen it’s a Tony Bennett song so no wonder I never knew as I was born in 1981 and have heard of Tony Bennett he would be someone who my grandparents would’ve listened to, not even my parents (who are 74 & 71) listened to Tony Bennett as he’s before their time too! Anyway I’ve listened to the song (Apple Music puts up the words on my iPhone 15) and I can start to understand the reference more now knowing the words, whereas before I was like “I’ve heard Cornette say it so many times but I don’t know what he means”. But now I know and you have to listen to the song to get it.
You hear Corny and know what he says is what happened. You listen to Brutus and....well.... I liked him as a kid (that barber gimmick was definitely over) BUT ...oof...
Ed is correct. He and Greg Valentine were complete opposites. Greg was a good worker with no charisma. Ed had charisma, although I never got it, but no one has ever considered him a worker. So glad he recovered from his accident. Amazing that he did. Corny is the best historian, hands down.
1:42:30 It’s not Ted DiBiase got the Million Dollar Man gimmick and Vince McMahon wanted him to live the character and keep up the Kayfabe on the gimmick like it was 1969 not 89 where Vince McMahon had already said that wrestling is entertainment not a sport. Also Ted’s dad was a wrestler and died in the ring of a heart attack
A pissed off Dr. Death Steve Williams, stomping at you with anger in his eyes and a wooden chair fully cocked behind his head ready to hit you with it sounds like a horrifying sight and experience, lol
I could listen to Corney all day. I appreciate the Beefcake timeline but whoevers idea to splice these and other videos together, please stop. I get it, two videos for the price of one...no more please. It's a brutal watch.
Beefcake is as delusional as Hogan. Dude you weren't that over face facts. And if vince had the horsemen in the 80's we all would be saying brutus and hulk who. Hey Brutus come go parasailing with me😅
This is great for the WCW part but I can't listen to Beefcake talk for more than a couple seconds. One, he sounds like he's completely making everything up. Two, he can't stop mentioning Hulk. I don't agree with what alot of Cornette says these days but his knowledge of history and him dropping information is great and he comes off as being as honest as possible.
If i had my choice between Tony on commentary or Beefcake on my roster.... well sorry Brother Bruti or whoever you are this week. Tony doesnt get the props he should simply because you had one of the best commentary teams in history. Tony and Bobby together were pretty darn good as well
2:42:13 did the surgeons need 100ft of titanium wire (a 100ft does sound excessive) because Brutus the “WHITE HOT” Barber Beefcake’s head is so big? Because according to him it went Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Brutus then Macho Man Randy Savage is in the list of most over wrestlers in the WWF (probably the world too in his mind). Yeah the doctors were right when they said Brutus has memory loss and brain damage (perfect person to pick to recall for a Timeline around 30yrs ago)
No Ed, they didn't want to be you. Nobody ever wanted to be you. Good grief, mate! Corny is good as always, but Edward H. Leslie is like your drunk uncle at the family barbecue, blathering endlessly about his jungle adventures in the special forces, even though all he ever did was guard a warehouse filled with cement bags.
Cmon then admit it, who here was actually one of the masses that went to see the express, Jim is certainly a character but im not from the US and it's hard to imagine anyone specifically paying to see the express wrestle...
according to book sean wrote years ago, very. it's an early morning shoot, pretty sure brutus was on no sleep (and 100 percent on something). according to sean, buff bagwell was the most messed up they ever shot (1997 wcw timeline, so far gone they scrapped it, brought in nash later to do it), beefcake was the most messed up of anyone they were able to get something out of (sounds like as bad as beefcake looks here, he was in much worse shape condition about an hour before they started. wrap your head around that bit for a second).
@@mfm4205 yeah, the Bagwell shoot is legendary. He ripped Sean off pretty bad, then later once he got clean he big timed him, saying he had his own podcast and also someone else was doing a documentary on him at the time, I think. So he denied Sean even though he owed Sean not only money but time and production costs for the useless garbage shoot he did that was so bad they couldn't even use it! What a carny asshole.
Actually if you think about it, wcw could have turned ultimate warrior heel and kept him away from the mic. This could have been there equivalent to the undertaker. But… he probably wouldn’t have went for it and they had tunnel vision hogan vs warrior II
Met Brutus in person as a kid the spring or summer after Eddie Guerrero died. Total fucking prick to the guy infront of me in line. He was charging $40 for an autograph so I just bought an Eddie Guerrero shirt and went to go talk to Shawn Stasiak.
Sean I love you but do you cook your Ribeye well done and put ketchup on it?? Crowbaring someone else's timeline into a Cornette episode should be grounds for execution.
What’s funny about the contract negotiations around 2hr mark. If Jim would’ve just said take the 50 grand you are giving me “I didn’t ask for” and give 25k to each of them, reducing my pay down to 100. They probably would’ve gotten their 150k a piece lol. So loyalty to a point would be more correct. Jim wasn’t going to give up 50 grand a year to give to his pals.
For all the flack Ed Leslie gets, he epitomizes what the entertainment side of wrasslin was at the time. Charismatic, Uber popular, not the best in ring worker, but, could make it look good when needed. Would've at least liked to have seen him have TV & US Title reigns in WCW. He survived a horrific injury.. Cornette is a legit legend, nuff said.
Beefcake was as over as some people like to pretend I can easily recall shows where he was bottom of the card as the barber and crowds were dead then went nuts for the killer bees those shows were in New York New Jersey and Pennsylvania where I frequented in the mid to late 80s the best was when he forced fans to slap his hands walking down the aisle in Allentown Pa he was grabbing the women’s wrists and smacked his own hand with theirs
I usually don't try to hate on shoot Interviews but holy smokes I can't stand BBs shoot. He lies left and right and you cant understand anything he is saying. He actually thinks he was the GUY back in the day. Kids this is why you stay away from DRUGs. Cornett's shoot is awesome as always.
3:46:53 I’m looking at the title Robin Green becomes woman and I’m thinking isn’t Robin Green a NFL player WCW brought in (I know nothing about the NFL and only NFL players I know are ones who did wrestling & OJ Simpson) an he’s had a sex change. Then I read the bits below and see Robin Green was Nancy Sullivan/Benoit
Wrestling can be compared to so many other things, acting is probably the best example. It’s the ability to get the public to believe and to care about the outcome of the character. Doing a string of moves is irrelevant, it doesn’t evoke a reaction and a sense of care to the hero. That’s why meltzer and Brett can say all the nonsense they want but they’ll never understand, how can anyone actually grade a match? To do so especially when you don’t understand what pro wrestling really is is beyond stupid. It’s the equivalent of going to the circus but only liking the acrobats, then scoring the lion tamer based on his acrobatic ability….. it makes no sense…. Watch him on Donaghue and you will see clearly the permed up Dave doing his best Dustin Hoffman rainman impression but that’s who he is… Made a living off killing kayfabe and storylines…. To even mention a name that is copyrighted owned makes me wonder how he’s been able to use their names and likeness to make his fortune… terrible abuse of this industry
Disagree with the Ross was the best announcer comments. I thought nwa/wcw didnt need him. Wherever he appeared up to raw resulted in downhill slides and deaths of promotions.
Ross is definitely overrated by some of his peers and the Attitude kids. Solie, Thatcher, Caudle were all better play by plays, i'd even say that Schiavone in the 80's was better than him. What is most annoying about Ross is that he never shuts up about american handegg. Get one wrestler in the ring who previously played that rugby for pussies crap and Ross won't shut up about it, making it the focal point of his commentary. He is also incredibly dumb and uneducated, something that became blatantly obvious when he was paired with Jesse Ventura (greatest colour commentator ever) The ratings comment though, that's nonsense. Commentators have no impact on ratings or otherwise the WWF would've been falling apart when 6 Time Worst Announcer of the Year (and rightfully so) Gorilla Monsoon was on the air.
Brutus was my favorite character of that era. He was white hot. And nobody did that gimmick since sliced white bread Barnes. Now he was the greatest of all time
You could've put Eddie Graham, Dusty Rhodes, Kevin Sullivan, and Bret Hart on here with Corny, and I still would have come away dumber for watching, simply because of how dumb Ed Leslie is. Without a doubt, the most intelligent thing he's ever said was in this video: "I' guess I'm stupid..."
Beefer: "Yeah, the guy from Poison. Great guy, childhood best friend, he was the best man at my wedding. Anyway, what was his name again"??
"I've slept since then so it's hard to remember"
I am sooo stealing that line.
This is the most fascinating blend of two people telling the story of a year. Couldn’t be further apart in remembering actual details.

So he denied Sean even though he owed Sean not only money but time and production costs for the useless garbage shoot he did that was so bad they couldn't even use it! What a carny asshole.
@@mfm4205 What about Jamie Dundee or Missy Hyatt? Those were pretty bad too.
Release the cornette only cut

Actually if you think about it, wcw could have turned ultimate warrior heel and kept him away from the mic. This could have been there equivalent to the undertaker. But… he probably wouldn’t have went for it and they had tunnel vision hogan vs warrior II
😂😂😂
I'm surprised Beefcake didn't nod off during his video.
Met Brutus in person as a kid the spring or summer after Eddie Guerrero died. Total fucking prick to the guy infront of me in line. He was charging $40 for an autograph so I just bought an Eddie Guerrero shirt and went to go talk to Shawn Stasiak.
Sean I love you but do you cook your Ribeye well done and put ketchup on it?? Crowbaring someone else's timeline into a Cornette episode should be grounds for execution.
What’s funny about the contract negotiations around 2hr mark. If Jim would’ve just said take the 50 grand you are giving me “I didn’t ask for” and give 25k to each of them, reducing my pay down to 100. They probably would’ve gotten their 150k a piece lol.
So loyalty to a point would be more correct. Jim wasn’t going to give up 50 grand a year to give to his pals.
Anyone else notice that the meng story got repeated.
Ed Leslie hasn't been clean since the 70s. He's a mess. This is sad to watch.
I grew up watching wrestling in the 80s and I don't think anyone but the barber thinks he was ever the hottest thing since sliced bread
46:46 wrong! the answer was steroids brother brutti try again.
For all the flack Ed Leslie gets, he epitomizes what the entertainment side of wrasslin was at the time. Charismatic, Uber popular, not the best in ring worker, but, could make it look good when needed. Would've at least liked to have seen him have TV & US Title reigns in WCW. He survived a horrific injury..
Cornette is a legit legend, nuff said.
Beefcake was as over as some people like to pretend I can easily recall shows where he was bottom of the card as the barber and crowds were dead then went nuts for the killer bees those shows were in New York New Jersey and Pennsylvania where I frequented in the mid to late 80s the best was when he forced fans to slap his hands walking down the aisle in Allentown Pa he was grabbing the women’s wrists and smacked his own hand with theirs
02:08:50 He made Sherri Martel's career huh? Gotta love the delusion.
Really hate there's two in one

@@KCVaultI'm not paying Sean
I usually don't try to hate on shoot Interviews but holy smokes I can't stand BBs shoot. He lies left and right and you cant understand anything he is saying. He actually thinks he was the GUY back in the day. Kids this is why you stay away from DRUGs.
Cornett's shoot is awesome as always.
Brutus looks like The Rizzler here
Shibata's doctor was the same one that took Luke's feet off and reattached them.
Uh? What is beefcake talking about? WOW that accident really changed history, according to him anyway. He is delusional
Beefcake is such a tool..
Yep, only Hogan is a bigger liar
@@chrisricciardi3812How is he a liar?
@@chrisricciardi3812what’re you talking about..?
Beefcake..? You mean this kornet guy?
Sean Oliver is the best and this stuff. I would love to see him replace Brian Last on the Cornette Experience.
Pete Austin from Boston
I wonder who and how old l the youngest person to make it to a large company booking committee was.
When was Beefcake ever white red hot a household name
Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake is the best part of this video by far.
Said no one, ever.
Which one of the Young Bucks are you?
Is that a quote from Brutus taken from the video? Sounds like it. He's a wretched loon.
2:09:43 Sean’s reaction to hearing Sherri was a prostitute is priceless
3:46:53 I’m looking at the title Robin Green becomes woman and I’m thinking isn’t Robin Green a NFL player WCW brought in (I know nothing about the NFL and only NFL players I know are ones who did wrestling & OJ Simpson) an he’s had a sex change. Then I read the bits below and see Robin Green was Nancy Sullivan/Benoit
I liked The Cornette stuff as far as him telling stories but Brutus Beefcake's sections were sucky.
Wrestling can be compared to so many other things, acting is probably the best example.
It’s the ability to get the public to believe and to care about the outcome of the character.
Doing a string of moves is irrelevant, it doesn’t evoke a reaction and a sense of care to the hero.
That’s why meltzer and Brett can say all the nonsense they want but they’ll never understand, how can anyone actually grade a match?
To do so especially when you don’t understand what pro wrestling really is is beyond stupid.
It’s the equivalent of going to the circus but only liking the acrobats, then scoring the lion tamer based on his acrobatic ability….. it makes no sense….
Watch him on Donaghue and you will see clearly the permed up Dave doing his best Dustin Hoffman rainman impression but that’s who he is…
Made a living off killing kayfabe and storylines…. To even mention a name that is copyrighted owned makes me wonder how he’s been able to use their names and likeness to make his fortune… terrible abuse of this industry
Disagree with the Ross was the best announcer comments. I thought nwa/wcw didnt need him. Wherever he appeared up to raw resulted in downhill slides and deaths of promotions.
LMAO
What??
Ignorant you are lol.
Ross is definitely overrated by some of his peers and the Attitude kids. Solie, Thatcher, Caudle were all better play by plays, i'd even say that Schiavone in the 80's was better than him. What is most annoying about Ross is that he never shuts up about american handegg. Get one wrestler in the ring who previously played that rugby for pussies crap and Ross won't shut up about it, making it the focal point of his commentary.
He is also incredibly dumb and uneducated, something that became blatantly obvious when he was paired with Jesse Ventura (greatest colour commentator ever)
The ratings comment though, that's nonsense. Commentators have no impact on ratings or otherwise the WWF would've been falling apart when 6 Time Worst Announcer of the Year (and rightfully so) Gorilla Monsoon was on the air.
Honky tonk man had a point
😂😂
Brutus was my favorite character of that era. He was white hot. And nobody did that gimmick since sliced white bread Barnes. Now he was the greatest of all time
You alone
You could've put Eddie Graham, Dusty Rhodes, Kevin Sullivan, and Bret Hart on here with Corny, and I still would have come away dumber for watching, simply because of how dumb Ed Leslie is.
Without a doubt, the most intelligent thing he's ever said was in this video: "I' guess I'm stupid..."
