They should have also dubbed in a metallic 'ping' sound every time he hit someone with his head.

I remember when this was going down, I was a young mark and had no idea that it was the Barber, I was really excited to find out who it was and then nothing. I too have wondered for 20 years why this angle went nowhere. Surely he could've done strictly run-ins at opportune moments to turn the tide of a match in favor of the face wrestler, with no explanation other than "Holy shit! He's back! who was that masked man?"

Furface was Grovers original name of Sesame Street when he was brown instead of blue so im picturing Ed Leslie dressed as a giant brown Grover Just don't tickle him. You do not want to know what will happen.

The more I read about him on the 'Net, and even the more I see of old matches, the more I question why anyone ever cared so much about Brutus Beefcake back then.
I mean, yeah, he was Hogan's pal (hence his continued employment), but until 1993 the usual-kid-in-the-audience mark (like me) had no idea about those political connections.
To me, he was a big deal - when I look back, I cannot for the life of me understand WHY.

It's good this gimmick didn't stick because there was no backstory during the run-ins, just hitting random heels and other than Brutus unmasking I doubt it would've gone anywhere but it worked out it was scrapped so Brutus could have the Barber Shop and take it easy for a while. Without the Barber Shop the Rockers breakup losing a crucial background piece to the story. Shawn could stuff Marty into the Funeral Parlor coffin or thrown the coffin on top of Marty but it doesn't have the same effect as being thrown through the glass window. Plus Brutus' excitement to see them coming together added a lot. It's like Hogan-Andre without Piper's Pit, if they did it on the Snake Pit they lose Piper who was more crucial to the story than Jake or another show host would be.
