Brutus Beefcake

Brutus Beefcake

Prior to his parasailing accident in 1990, it is often forgotten just how popular Brutus Beefcake was.  In the late 80’s while assuming the barber gimmick he ascended to the upper mid card and was one of the top faces in the company.  In tag team main events with Hulk Hogan, Beefcake held his own and although he was not the most spectacular in ring worker, he played the barber gimmick perfectly and was a true superstar.  After his accident, Beefcake stayed on as in interviewer, but microphone work was never his strong point.  When he did return to in ring action, his decreased physicality led to a lot of sub par matches and stripped of his money making gimmick in WCW (although we have a soft spot for the Zodiac) he never did come to close to his level of superstardom and ironically would be much higher on this list had he never made a comeback.
