Brutus Beefcake recently appeared on the “Good Karma Wrestling” podcast to discuss a variety of topics, including his WWE Hall of Fame induction.
According to “The Barber” himself, he got pranked called around ten years ago regarding a Hall of Fame induction and says he never thought an actual induction would happen.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On getting prank called about an induction: “Well, I was beginning to think it was never gonna happen. About 10 years ago, somebody called from the WWE building, because it was on my phone, the caller ID, and left a message or something about me being in the Hall of Fame. That was like 10 years ago. Everybody got all excited, everybody was going crazy, and it turned out it was a prank call.”
On getting inducted finally: “Yeah, so, after that I was like, ‘Man, okay, I don’t know who I must’ve made mad or pissed off or whatever. Being patient pays off. When they called, they had Sports Illustrated, they wanted to have a big release, the announcement made. They had the Hulkster come out and nobody else had a presenter. They had me getting a presenter, having the Hulkster do the presenting. My career has been so tremendously blessed.”
