I swear I remember him using an entire paragraph on his wiki to talk about how awesome his custom boots were. If this memory turns out to be false I really don't want to know. I prefer my version of reality. That's close enough for me! But truth be told, those are pretty bitchin' boots. If you updated his gimmick to today.. I wonder who he'd pick? "Yeah I'm a mix of Brock/Cena/Roman" probably.

But most importantly, where can I get a pair of his custom made boots? According to Cagematch, he hasn't wrestled since 2010, so maybe if you tweet him an offer you might be able to get the genuine articles? Signed, of course, to drive up the price. And only lists like 13 matches total if my memory isn't failing me.

If Brimstone gave half the effort to his career instead of branding, he could’ve gone somewhere and not became a joke.

Reading the opening blurb, I’m slightly worried as to why he was featured in The Bra Book? Has Brimstone got implants and will go by the name Breastone?

Having recently seen and read ‘The Disaster Artist’, Brimstone is like a wrestling version of Tommy Wiseau:
Not particularly competent at his craft but in possession of a tidal wave of self belief, self hype and, it seems, unlimited funds.

Well Wiseau and Brimstone can work people into going along with their bullshit.

“He later became best known for his career in professional wrestling where he has made countless appearances worldwide for the leaders in sports entertainment and throughout the Independents.” Nope. Just no.

Is there even a Brimstone match available to watch anywhere? I only know this guy as an IWC meme for his old wiki page.

Brimstone is a pretty common name on the real backyard indies it seems... but I managed to find one. You might notice he is nowhere near the like 8 feet tall he claims to be edit: best comment. I didn't see anything specifically bad about him... just rather bland... also we can play the count how many finishers we can do without even trying for a pinfall...

“On top of his grueling schedule, he selflessly acts as a celebrity spokesperson for the Stan Lee Foundation, Jaime Isaacs Foundation, and RADD (Rockers Actors and Athletes against Driving Drunk) and aspires to be cast as a contestant on the Celebrity Apprentice to raise money and awareness for his chosen charity. In 2015, he partnered with the Empire Saber Guild (An Official Lucas Film, Star Wars Costuming Group) to create an exclusive trading card for St. Mary‟s portraying Brimstone as a Sith Lord for charity. An avid philanthropist at heart, Brimstone subjected himself to be roasted for charity in 2010 and has been featured on NBC’s Cause Celeb twice concerning his efforts. Furthermore, he works directly with Build-A-Bear Workshop, whom is a sponsor of his international children’s initiative.”
Celebrity spokesperson...

The part of that quote of all his "deals" is when he says that he's a "celebrity brand ambassador for Loot Crate". It takes zero effort to get a Loot Crate referral link, and an affiliate link has a very low bar of social media clout to get. It's not hard to get referral links and stick them into your things, then act like that's an endorsement to try and impress people who know nothing about social media. I bet if you dug around you'd see that a lot of the companies he has merch from are small companies and vanity manufacturers who will slap your logo onto a generic and interchangeable product you then get to resell. It's all a joke.
Really, Brimstone works a lot better if you just put quotation marks around every few words of his claim. Brimstone has a "signature drink" that was "made by" people "from" the "Jack Daniels Distillery".
