Brutus Beefcake has revealed how he fell out with Hulk Hogan after years of friendship.
The pair had been best friends for decades after starting out together in Florida in the wrestling business. They originally wrestled as the Boulder Brothers, but Beefcake would go by many names throughout his varied career.
It seemed that wherever Hogan went, he would bring Brutus Beefcake with him, including in the WWE and WCW. However, the pair fell out in later life with little explanation. That is, until now.
Speaking with Kenny McIntosh at an Inside The Ropes live event, Brutus Beefcake revealed how his relationship breakdown with Hogan happened. He revealed that he didn’t join the WWE after WCW closed down because Hulk Hogan did not want him in the promotion.
“Don’t really know for sure.” Brutus Beefcake said. “A lot of it, I don’t know. I think, in a way, Hogan just didn’t want me to be there. I don’t know why, but he didn’t help. He didn’t put in a word, he didn’t do anything as far as for me at all, and he had Vince’s ear. So whatever he would suggest, whatever he said, that’s what they were doing. I don’t know what happened, but he didn’t help.”
Brutus Beefcake: Hulk Hogan Hit On My Wife
Brutus Beefcake went on to explain how he stopped being friends with Hulk Hogan after Hogan allegedly propositioned his wife, Missy, before being thoroughly rejected. Hogan took the rejection badly and told Beefcake he could see Hogan, but not bring his wife. Beefcake saw that as the end of their three decades of friendship.
“Oh no, he hit on my wife in his kitchen with his wife there. They were swapping, doing some weird sh*t. He’s standing in the kitchen at his beach house, and he’s telling me and my wife how he likes to lube up his dick with olive oil. My wife is from Boston, she don’t mince words, and she basically told him where to get off that. She says ‘I’m only here for one reason, that’s Brutus Beefcake. I came because I wanted to meet Terry Bollea, my husband’s friend, a lifelong friend. That’s who I wanted to meet. I don’t know or care who Hulk Hogan is at all.’”
“I guess his ego was so bruised he couldn’t even face her again. So basically he said, ‘Brutus, you’re welcome, you can come over, but don’t bring your wife.’ It’s like, yeah, that doesn’t really work for me, pal. So have a nice day. After that he had 14 back operations, had both his hips replaced and both his knees replaced. He fell apart and I was glad I wasn’t part of it.”
“I enjoyed being out of it for a while. I mean, we had great years. It was a tremendous story and I thought we would always be friends forever, and he turns back on me, and that’s it. So again, I said it’s too bad, but it ain’t going to change my life. I love my wife, she’s the best and I’d do everything exactly the same. I’d do it all again, and to hell with him.”
What is Hulk Hogan’s side of the story?
Over the years, fans have wondered what happened between Hogan and Beefcake. Hogan briefly touched on their falling out during a recent appearance on This Past Weekend with Theo Von, claiming it had a lot to do with Missy Beefcake. However, he didn’t elaborate on the specific reason.
“Another guy I traveled on the road with for four years was Brutus Beefcake. Him and I had a falling out,” Hogan said. “We had a little bit of a falling out, so him and I don’t even talk anymore. I mean, there’s nothing to talk about. It still has a lot to do with the lady he’s married to. Nothing really to do with him. So, I’ll pass.”
