Wrestlemania 3 Question (Beefcake)

[lildude8218]

Ok, so I was watching WM3 yesterday and I've seen this event maybe 100 times and only now just noticed something that I had to ask about.

During the Dream Team/Rougeaus match, Gorilla Monsoon made the comment "Look at that funny haircut on Beefcake," which seemed odd to me since I had never noticed the comment before.

Then we all know what happens after the Piper/Adonis match. And as Brutus is cutting Adrian's hair, Monsoon says "Brutus must be getting a lot of joy out of doing this," or something to that effect.

I was pretty young around this time and not watching wrestling religiously until after WM3. So my question is, was the earlier comment related to the 2nd comment? Like did Adrian Adonis happen to give Beefcake a silly haircut on The Flower Shop or something a few weeks beforehand? Or am I just putting things together that don't belong?

Because if that was true then it would make sense for him to come out and help Piper, cut Adrian's hair, and then make a face turn. Otherwise it was just quite random, other than the fact that he had problems with The Dream Team.

Hopefully someone can help me out with this one.

Yeah pretty much the way I remember it was Adonis was cutting the hair of everyone he beat and cut off Beefcake's hair.

This was Beefcake's revenge and gave him The Barber gimmick.

So Adonis had a match with Beefcake beforehand? That seems so weird for them to do a heel-heel match back then. I mean I know it happened every now and then but they weren't ever focused on all that much.

Thanks for the info though, it's weird that it took me 19 years to notice/make that connection and figure something out like that without being able to find all the facts lol.

Nah Adonis was teaming with The Dream Team against I think the Can Am Connection and Tito, I'm prolly wrong on that part but nonetheless one of the faces were in the corner and they reversed Beefcake into the corner and Adonis was playing up to the crowd and started cutting hair and didn't notice it was Beefcake till he cut a good portion off which then caused Beefcake to get pinned, I think? And thus setting up the face turn.

I have a sweet Brutus Beefcake puzzle, from this face-turn era... with the "short" hair... just thought I'd say that ;D ;D

[lildude8218]

Well that explains everything then. Now I wish I could find footage of all this.

*Edit*

I just searched through some old results and found the match.

It was actually The Can-Am Connection and Lanny Poffo but either way.

There needs to be some sort of database or wiki for pro wrestling where detailed bios for each wrestler (including storylines and important events) are included.

That's why there is www.obsessedwithwrestling.com.

Yes I'm aware of OWW but they don't have detailed breakdowns of storylines and the such for every single guy out there.

I'm talking overly anal bios for really obsessive fans.

If you read Piper's book, Beefcake just appeared out there, apparently for no reason and Piper decided it was a good idea to let Beefcake cut Adonis' hair....Piper invented the gimmick!

I always wondered why Beefcake ran down to help. I liked how he just had to rub pipers arms to bring him back after the sleeper hold
