I had some issues going with Adonis apart from what Piper was doing. A: We wrestled in many large arenas all over the country, so sometimes, 20, 30, 40, people. A: I consider myself just Brutus Beefcake, the original handle we cooked up.
It was basically me, it was my invention and I cooked up the clothes and the outfits and the strut, all the stuff that went with it.

The popular Superstar overcame numerous obstacles and a near fatal accident in to compete at WrestleMania, and carve out his spot as one of sports-entertainment's most memorable characters. The name "Brutus Beefcake" is one of the most unique to ever grace a sold-out arena's flashing marquee. Looking back over a long and successful career, the legend told WWE.
My excitement quickly dissipated, and in my mind, it quickly became one of the worst days of my life. The WWE Hall of Famer was able to calm his disappointed friend, and convince him to accept his new role. He said we would make it work. After years of hard work and long road trips, Brutus Beefcake was rewarded when he competed in front of a jam-packed Madison Square Garden as part of the first-ever WrestleMania. I fought for my life, and had the hell beat out of me literally night after night all over the country.
I fought and survived, and learned a lot about respecting the business in the process. I was proud when I was told I would be a part of WrestleMania. We were a tag team that was selling out 25, seat arenas all over the world. Before us, they never had a tag team that could do that. We were fortunate to be there at the time we were because wrestling was so popular. We had a great run.
On one day in though, The Barber's career, and life nearly came to a sudden and tragic end when the legend was nearly killed in a parasailing accident. I had gone blind because of damage to my optic nerve, and it took them seven hours to restore my eyesight alone.
As the legend told WWE. He picked me up, convinced me I was going to live, and refused to let me give up hope.
