Speaking recently to Good Karma Wrestling, Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake spoke about getting the phone call for his WWE Hall of Fame induction. He also discussed the current scissoring phenomenon that’s sweeping the wrestling community, made popular by AEW’s The Acclaimed. Highlights of his appearance can be read below:
How he feels about “scissoring” in AEW: “It’s a big compliment for me because at least they [The Acclaimed] aren’t trying to be a barber. The scissors are just so over and so powerful that you can’t hardly blame them for wanting to bring them back and utilize them.”
Remembering the phone call announcing his Hall of Fame induction: “I was beginning to think it was never going to happen. About ten years ago, somebody called from the WWE building, it was on my phone, the caller ID. They left a message about me being in the Hall of Fame, that was about 10 years ago. Everybody got all excited. Everyone was going crazy. Turns out it was a prank call. After that, I was like, ‘Ok, don’t know who I made mad or pissed off. Being patient pays off.’ I was a patient fisherman. When they called, they had Sports Illustrated, who they wanted to do a big release to announce me. They had the Hulkster come out. My career has just been so tremendously blessed.”
