OK, I admit it, I mark out for the guy, but what is he doing now? There was all this speculation that he would be Jimmy Harts mystery man, but instead it turned out to be Duggan which was a HUGE dissapointment. Is there any plans for him to show up on any TNA shows in the near future, and are him and Hogan still tight, cuz I figured that for sure, he would be offered a job in the WWE, once Vince signed Hogan back. Any feedback would be appreciated
Last I heard he was working indy shows under all kinds of generic names. He was supposed to work a show around here a couple summers ago under the name "Brute Force". I also kinda remember him being one of the guys selling his time on eBay, but I could be wrong in that.
He's wrestling on small indy shows across the country. I just saw him two weeks ago at this show http://www.legendsentertainment.net/low.html where he reformed the Dream Team with Greg Valentine to take on the Powers of Pain. He's not in the best shape of his life, but he's not completely out of shape, either. I did, however, laugh during the match when he went for his "patented high knee" and barely got above The Barbians mid-section. I don't know if it was bad timing or if he really just couldn't get that high anymore, but it was pretty pathetic.

I think everybody pretty much already knows that. That was simply an angle used by WWF (and later WCW) in the early 90's, then when Brutus turned on Hogan, revealing himself to be the masked man, Shiavone (in his usual overselling manner) was like "OH MY GOD!!! It's.... Brother Bruti!!! But alas, it was really all a plot by Hogan & company to learn the ways of the Dungeon of Doom... *sigh* :)

To clear up any confusion, the "cousins" question was asked earlier in the thread but I deleted it. The storyline that they WERE cousins (brothers, actually) is really ancient but for some reason there are a few people who not only remember it, but believe it. From a very old version of the RSPW FAQ (rspw.org):
8.20. Are Hulk Hogan and Brutus Beefcake really brothers?
No. Hulk Hogan and Brutus Beefcake are just friends, not brothers. The confusion stems from the time they spent wrestling together as a brother tag team. They worked as Terry & Ed Boulder and as Hulk and Dizzy Hogan.

No, you're absolutely correct...it was something like "Dinner with Brutus" or something like that. And this was...I want to say about a year ago give or take.
