Beefcake talks about the difficulty he faced after having his face terribly damaged in a parasailing accident. He was just getting out of a bad marriage and had just received divorce papers. The stress of this accident was coupled with the stress of losing a lot of money in the divorce, and then doctors told him that he’d never wrestle again and he’s lucky to be alive.
He wasn’t able to lie down for 8 months and slept upright in a chair. He also couldn’t eat due to having his mouth wired shut for 3 months, and this resulted in him losing 55 lbs. He was extremely lucky to finally be able to step in the ring months after the accident occurred, but McMahon soon developed the Barbershop segment for Beefcake, to take the pressure off of him having to performer in the ring.
Beefcake informs that he has a new book out entitled “Struttin’ and Cuttin’: The Life of Brutus Beefcake”, and he urges everyone to check it out.
That sums up this week’s episode of The Steve Austin Show. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
