-Mic work/promos - :russ:

beefcake was a decent promo in the 80s and early 90's WWF..could cut one but most of the time was not overtly interesting - be generous and give him a 5

-Personality/gimmicks - :hhh:

..a classic gimmick in brutus the barber beefcake..giving nikkas struggle cuts after he put him to sleep..cool although im sure the whole gimmick was a patterson rib..esp the outfits lol...but never has a wrestler has had so many bad gimmicks in a career..furface, brother bruti, the butcher, the booty man (rivals mr. ass in the biggest the WTF gimmick :gucci:

..reference being an ass/booty man but talk about your ass/booty..in his case shaking it..and he had kimberly as the booty babe :mindblown:

), man with no name, zodiac, the disciple...outside of furface was he and/or the bookers in WCW so brain dead they couldn't think of anything else for him? 3 just for beefcake gimmick only

-Ring work (along with some of your favorite matches/feuds) - brutus was decent in the ring in the WWF...sleeper as finisher when he was the barber was fine....had some good matches when he teamed with greg valentine..i remember he had a good match with mr perfect at wrestlemania 6...he was slightly above average around that time but that parasailing accident all but finished him..after that though dude never improved after that and got lazy as fukk and even more terrible...had some horrible matches in WCW to go along with his gimmick,..hated the running knee finisher and even more so hated him sharking the stone cold stunner when he was the disciple - 2 for the ring work

-Overall rating (which doesn't have to be an average of the above scores) i guess breaking in with hulk hogan has its benefits..nobody profited more from a hogan association than this guy...no one...he wasn't skilled but was decent at one point but he should have been an on screen personality after the accident crushed his face....he became a horrible horrible wrestler with bad gimmicks..nothing more needs to be said about him....give him a 3

I'd call him the Memphis Bleek of pro wrestling but that's probably an insult to Memphis Bleek

IMO Brian Knobbs might have profited more from Hogan friendship.

A solid 5. A 3 as a worker but as a gimmick he was like a 7-7.5.

I loved the dream team, dude drew some good money as brutus. Solid promo. Was a big star in the 80s/early 90s and made the most of his gimmick likeit or not.

Wcw run was horrible but his run as hulks belt holder as the disciple and using it with thestunner as a finisher was dope. I didnt even know it was him til warrior called him out and i was pretty good with stuff like that.

2 only because I was a oWn mark.

Yep cause the booty man doesn't have a Round Here solo track to his name :ehh:

Golayitdown · Apr 25, 2018

A 1 in every sense of the word.

threattonature · Apr 25, 2018

I'm giving him a 6 for his prime years as the Beefcake. He had some solid matches. Was over as fukk with the crowd and had some solid ass feuds.

Tommy Fits · Apr 25, 2018

I give him a 5... Once upon a time he was really really over
