    This was very interesting. I didn’t know that Brutus Beefcake (oh what a name!) was once billed as Hogan’s brother. Hickenbottom! That’s quite a handle.

    I’m sending this link to my husband,I know he will enjoy it too.

    Great research.

    Thank you. I used to think that Brutus Beefcake and Hulk Hogan were brothers because my uncle said that they were. He must have watched it when they were wrestling together as brothers. I wasn’t watching it then which is why I believed it. I hope your husband likes the article.
