Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake is dealing with health issues, according to his wife Missy Leslie.
Missy noted on Facebook that Beefcake has a blood pressure reading of 170/110 with shortness of breath and a headache. She asked fans for prayers and informed that the pro wrestling legend visited a doctor on Wednesday morning.
Beefcake, a former WWE Tag Team Champion, was best known for portraying multiple gimmicks in WWE and WCW. Recently, Beefcake reflected on his parasailing accident in July 1990, and how the life-threatening incident denied him a run as WWE Intercontinental Champion. His career was put on hold for a few years due to the accident before he returned for a brief run with the WWE in 1993.
Earlier this month, the 64-year-old Beefcake appeared at the River City Wrestling Con at the Jacksonville Fairgrounds.
Beefcake was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame in 2019. He was featured on a recent episode of WWE’s Most Wanted Treasures on the A&E Network.
Stay tuned for updates on Beefcake’s health.
