Career

Early days

Edward Leslie began his career at the side of Hulk Hogan in the 1976-77 time frame.^[1] At the time, the two were billed as brothers, alternately Terry and Ed Boulder, or Hulk and Dizzy Hogan. Because of this, for many years, it was a part of pro wrestling lore that Hogan and Leslie actually were brothers, but there is no real family relation between the men. Terrence Gene Bollea (born on August 11, 1953) is an American actor and semi-retired professional wrestler better known by his ring name Hulk Hogan. ...

Leslie wrestled briefly in Bill Watts' Mid-South territory and also wrestled sporadically between 1980 and '82 in the WWF before he became known as Brutus Beefcake.

The team would break up at WrestleMania III. Despite a win over the Rougeau Brothers (Raymond and Jacques Rougeau) at the Pay Per View, the team had a falling-out when Beefcake was left in the ring while Valentine and Valiant left with Dino Bravo.^[3] This provided the impetus for Beefcake-- along with having had his hair cut by Adrian Adonis in a six-man match shortly before WrestleMania-- to turn from heel to face. Later that night, he acquired the nickname "The Barber" after Rowdy Roddy Piper's match against Adonis. Adonis lost the match, and it was stipulated he would have to have his head shaved. Beefcake entered the ring and began to clip away at Adonis' blonde locks.

Thereafter, he started bringing garden shears with him to the ring (with the handles taped to resemble barber poles). He would cut off the hair of his opponents (after knocking them out with a sleeper hold) using scissors or an electric razor. He would follow a successful sleeper hold with a strut around the ring, "snipping" his fingers like a scissors to indicate what was about to happen, referring to his actions as "strutting and cutting". He would then proceed to throw handfuls of hair into the air to the delight of the crowd. Professional wrestling holds include a number of set moves and pins used by competitors to immobilize their opponents. ...

As a babyface, he would feud with his former partner Greg Valentine, his former manager Johnny Valiant (who by the end of their feud was completely bald thanks to Beefcake), The Honky Tonk Man, Ron Bass, Randy Savage (it was Beefcake who coined the nickname "Scary Sherri" for Savage's then manager Sensational Sherri), and Mr. Perfect.

In 1990, a near-fatal parasailing accident put him out of action. He was helping his parasailer friend prepare for takeoff when the driver of the boat mistakenly took a cue to take off, sending the would-be-parasailer's knees directly into Leslie's face. His face had to be surgically repaired with metal plates and screws,^[1] putting his WWF career on hiatus for nearly two years. It also gave him an infamous nickname among smarks in later years: The Man With No Face. He began making appearances again in late 1991/early 1992 in his interview segment called "The Barber Shop." To facilitate his return to wrestling, he was put in a mask and randomly attacked heels by running in on their matches. He would hit the heel a few times, headbutt him, and escape. He never wrestled a match in this persona and was never given a name. It is often said that the persona would have been called "The Mariner"; it is affectionately called the Run-In Man by fans.

His injury was used in angle in early 1993, when Leslie's comeback match ended in him being attacked by Money Inc., who (kayfabe) tried to reaggravate his facial injuries. This resulted in manager Jimmy Hart turning face and Hulk Hogan returning to the WWF, forming a tag team with Leslie (a real-life good friend). The Mega-Maniacs, as they were called, squared off against Money Inc. at WrestleMania IX with Leslie wearing a special protective face mask, supposedly constructed by NASA.

World Championship Wrestling

Since the name Brutus Beefcake was trademarked by the WWF, WCW was forced to give Leslie a different ring name. At first, he was only referred to as Brother Bruti (pronounced: BREW-tie, which was WWF announcer Gorilla Monsoon's longtime shorthand for Leslie's former ring name), making short appearances with WCW World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan, who had just arrived in WCW.^[1] At Halloween Havoc, following Hogan's cage match victory over Ric Flair, Brutus was revealed as the mystery assailant who attacked Hogan just before his title defense against Flair at Clash of the Champions XXVIII. Leslie was subsequently billed as The Butcher. The feud between these two culminated at Starrcade 1994 and was then abruptly dropped as fan interest was simply not there. “(TM)” redirects here. ...

In 1996, Leslie feuded with Diamond Dallas Page, this time as The Booty Man. He was accompanied by Page's ex-valet (and real-life wife) Kimberly Page, whom he referred to as his "Booty Babe." His gimmick was simply that of a man who would shake his (supposedly) bare buttocks on the way to the ring. This, too, did not last long.

The Disciple was later "kidnapped" by the Warrior during Warrior's brief WCW run and feud with Hogan. After being supposedly brainwashed by Warrior, he turned on Hogan and was the only other member (alongside his kidnapper) of the one Warrior nation.
