I never get to share wrestling rumours but today is different! I caught the tail end of an interview this morning on one of our local radio stations in Toronto - KISS 92.5 with Roz & Mocha and they had Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake on. I think he was promoting a local wrestling show with Volkoff and Virgil, caught the tail end like I said, but some highlights: * he hasn't been watching wrestling because he doesn't like the product and all his friends are out of the business * they are doing everything wrong in his opinion. Macho Man's elbow was as high risk as it got in his day * WWE recently reached out to him after 25 years (his words exactly) * Made a plea to listeners to get him into the HOF and how the WWE likes to do things last-minute to shake it up So WWE could be contacting him for a variety of reasons, but could a Legends deal be in the works? A Mattel Flashback? Heck, even a last-minute addition to the HOF this year? EDIT: Here's the link: www.kiss925.com/2016/01/27/listen-brutus-the-barber-beefcake-talks-hall-of-fame-and-more-on-kiss-92-5/

As long as they pick one of his more colorful attires I'm game! I'd prefer his first Hasbro look with pink tights and black accents.

At this point I would take any Beefcake made. But I'd prefer the barber version.

As far as I'm concerned, we need a Beefcake. He's usually first on my realistic lists of characters we want.
Hope this means the wheels are finally turning.

Would love some of his WCW gimmicks in figure form. Disciple, Butcher, Booty Man, Zodiac. In that order. Was a big fan of the Three Faces Of Fear stable (Kevin Sullivan, Avalanche, Butcher) and when he was Hogan's henchman in NWO too.
Really hope if he signs Mattel has the imagination to go further than just doing the Beefcake character. And a mean headscan would be nice too, we've had way too many smiling flashbacks lately.

Terrific news! Beefcake is very badly needed in our legends/flashback collections.

Beefcake is one of those with an awesome look. He def deserves one. If we're getting a second Bossman, I can't see anything stopping us from getting Brutus.

I agree. When I think of Beefcake, I think purple or pink.
If Mattel can sign Beefcake, would be the ideal time to insert Valentine into the mix too.

I would love a Disciple, a Dream Team and ,for reasons I can't imagine, a Zodiac.

There are so many beefcake figures I would like, there are about 5 attires I would like from the dream team era alone

I'd like an elite barber beefcake most of all the possible Brutus gimmicks

i'd luv for this to be true. But these 80's legends pretty much like 99% of the time about everything

The only Beefcake I really want is his debut attire that his LJN was based on. Then give us a Hammer to go with it.

Sounds like he's trying to hype himself up.
