Ted DiBiase On The Belief That Brutus Beefcake’s Job Came From His Friendship With Hulk Hogan

WWE Hall of Famer “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase recently took to an episode of his “Everybody’s Got a Pod” podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including how Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake was a good worker and his interviews were okay, but Beefcake lacks charisma.

DiBiase said, “I like Brutus personally. I don’t know how close he is with the Hulkster now. I assume they’re still friends. Brutus was okay. I mean, it’s hard for me to judge. I didn’t ever see him as being a guy that was going to be the world champion. Right. He was who he was. Was he a good worker? Yes. He had all the skills. And again, I was able to have good matches with him. And so that’s what’s most important. But again, it gets back to the charisma thing. He was good in the ring and I don’t know, I would say his interviews were okay, but nothing over the top, you know.”

DiBiase also talked about the narrative that Beefcake only had a job due to his friendship with Hulk Hogan.

“No, I mean anybody that thought he was just hanging on and the only reason he had a job was because of his friendship with Hulk. I don’t believe that. I don’t know if it might have been a relationship he had with Hulk that maybe that got him seen the first time. I don’t know. I wasn’t there. I don’t have any idea. But no, no, no. Brutus is good on his own merit.”
