We're back! Our latest series, Bash at the Beach, turned out to be an incredible look at basically the entire WCW career of one Hulk Hogan - so we figured, why not continue that theme and take a look at an earlier pivotal point in Hogan's career? No, not his time in the WWF - instead, we're taking a look at his time in the AWA, where somehow the sheer noise of the crowd reaction Hogan was getting did not clue the company in to the fact that they really should probably consider giving him the belt already. Plus - early looks at Bobby Heenan, Jesse Ventura, Ed Leslie, and Mean Gene Okerlund! For all this, plus some familiar faces (and audio and show design elements) from the early Starrcades, let's go to the ring!Music by Michael Gary Brewer at https://www.instantmusicnow.com/Follow us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LetsGo2theRing/

In the performance art of professional wrestling, many of the top stars are assigned a gimmick. Some work, some don't. But there was one, that on it's face shouldn't have worked. Unless you're Brutus Beefcake (real name Ed Leslie), he made what seemed ridiculous into a wrestling sensation. It was 1988 when Beefcake had languished in the mid-card of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) with some success.
Imagine the pitch meeting - "It's Santa Claus, right, but this one has muscles!" PRINT THE MONEY! Now, the rest of us are left to pick up the pieces of Hulk Hogan's Santa With Muscles (1996). Previous Hulk Hogan movies had him playing different versions of himself, and here he attempts to act and play a different character. It goes about as well as you'd expect. Many questions will be answered - how did Mila Kunis bury this performance? How can a lawn ornament bench press 300 pounds? Why is Ed Leslie playing an Asian? We'll pull it all apart, and then give out some awards, including our worst actor award, the "Steve Seagal" Trash Can Full of Dirt.

We make our cases for the best Leslies not also known as Brutus the Barber Beefcake. Thanks for checking out the show and we hope you enjoy it.

Finally, the bootyman gets his due. After months as the non-speaking Disciple and an abrut turn as part of the One Warrior Nation, Ric Flair has rechristened Hogan's longtime cronie as just... Ed. Yeah, just casually going by his shoot name in a backstage segment that shows Ed turning on Hollywood Hulk Hogan in order to feed his family. The US Title tournament continues it's march towards Spring Stampede. Meng looks strong both in the ring and in a video package. DDP faces Hogan... Horace Hogan.

The last ever Starrcade !! Was it any good ?
Welcome back to Reading Wrestling, your encyclopedia on the art of pro wrestling. Today's entry is a complicated topic related to identity. And identity theft is not a joke, listener. Much like actors play disparate and dissimilar roles, a wrestler's character or gimmick can change. Today, on Reading Wrestling, we'll talk about the many faces of a single performer.We start off talking about abrupt changes of character, the first time we saw a wrestler we knew adopt an altogether different gimmick. These character changes have a degree of amnesia, in that the performer does not acknowledge that they were once someone else. Dave talks about the history of Scott Hall's character changes from Starship Coyote through the Diamond Stud, Razor Ramon, and finally his use of his real name. Noell talks about the evolution of Jonathan Huber from Luke Harper to Brodie Lee. Chris raises the many faces of Fred Ottman, particularly his character change from gregariousTugboat to the pernicious Typhoon. This takes us down a rabbit hole discussing John Tenta, from Earthquake to...Golga?..and the Shark. We move on to talking about types of character changes, including changes of character (in the sense of changing outlooks and values). Noell takes us to Miss Elizabeth (a favorite of hers) and her change from a kind of demure power in the WWF to her heel manager persona in WCW. Chris takes us to the evolution from Surfer Sting to Crow Sting. Dave tells us about the history of Barry Windham. We talk about how, as the world and dominant aesthetics changed, characters were forced to update their gimmicks accordingly. Some wrestlers have had more character changes than others. We go around and talk about wrestlers we associate with extensive character changes. Dave gives us an extensive sketch of the career of Ed Leslie, best known for his time as Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake. Noell brings us to Bray Wyatt's "characters within a character." Chris raises the classic example of Mick Foley's many faces, including Dude Love, Mankind, Cactus Jack, and finally the character Mick Foley, who is distinct from the man Mick Foley. To clearly summarize, we try to clear up the question of how that guy used to be this guy but he's no longer that guy and is instead this guy. We hope you enjoy the episode, and if you don't, we can change. We can play new characters next week. You'll like those better, we promise!

We go back to a recap-style show as we review all the boring, uninteresting happenings of WCW Uncensored 1996! What format do you prefer? Recap or live commentary? Let us know!! (Dan loves Ed Leslie)
Dan is a huge mark for Ed Leslie.
Justin and Heather hop back into the world of WCW on this week's 3 Beers Deep Wrestling Podcast. Ric Flair is WCW Champion and he defends against Randy Savage in the main event. Chaos ensues as Heather and Justin try to keep up with everything happening, including a wild Ed Leslie appearing. Plus Hulk Hogan tries to get his win back over Arn Anderson, but Nick Patrick is around to make a mess of things.Crack some beers open and give it a listen!
Today, Because WCW turns three years old! And what better way to celebrate than with Hulk Hogan and Ed Leslie's latest desperate attempts to stay relevant? On the plus side, the Hulkster isn't far in our Nitro chronicles from disappearing until he'd return to form the New World Order. Until then, Dean and Liam witness an hour of old-school wrestling (for better and for worse) staged in front of a very 1990s crowd, littered with some extremely creative (again, for better and for worse) match finishes.

Enjoy the review and enjoy Wrestlemania weekend!
IT'S... IT'S.... DOOOOOOMSDAY!!!!! Join Mike, Lumberjake, and JC for our trip down memory lane to the year 1996, just weeks before the wrestling landscape changed forever when Scott Hall showed up on WCW Monday Nitro to kick off the nWo storyline when we review WCW Uncensored 1996 featuring the DOOMSDAY CAGE MATCH, an event of epic proportions. The boys are joined by Todd Harris, no sorry, Brett Ryan Gosselin (Ruth Bader Ginsburg?) for this very special event, and we have a lot of fun riffing on the awesome opening video promo and the promos of The Road Warriors. JC also tries to valiantly chronicle the history of Ed Leslie while the boys debate the nostalgia of World Championship Wrestling.

Some major professional wrestling events are forever known as "the show with that match". Uncensored 1996 is one of those events. And "that match" is the utterly reprehensible 8-on-2 Doomsday Cage debacle. Join Dean, Liam and special guest Paul Benson of Hooked On Wrestling as they attempt to answer several pivotal questions. Questions such as "how was Giant Haystacks' big Stateside moment?", "why did mid-90s promotions treat women so badly?" and "can four of the company's most established performers really make a Chicago Street Fight a total chore to watch?". Oh, and don't worry: they go in two-footed on Ed Leslie and Terry Bollea, too.
Es gibt Wrestler, die irgendwie nichts falsch machen können und man durch die Karriere hinweg durch verschiedene Gimmicks hindurch sieht, welches Riesentalent sich dahinter verbirgt. Und dann gibt es die Wrestler, bei denen man sich bei jedem einzelnen Gimmick fragt, was zum Henker diese Person eigentlich von einem möchte. Ed Leslie gehört in all seinen Formen, Charakteren und wirklich seltsamen Gimmicks eindeutig eher zur zweiten Kategorie. Vom Frisör über den Hintern-Fetischisten bis hin zum Disciple fragen wir uns eigentlich nur eines: Was ist hier los?
This issue left a little something to be desired, so our hosts had to make their own fun… with a little help from their buddy Whiskey. Join them as they dispense priceless misinformation about pro-wrestler’s alter egos (I know, it’s Ed Leslie not Ed Lindsay), chimera marmosets, and Ancient Greek culture. All this, plus: Gar’s Frankenstein goofing, Columbo vs. Fred Savage, and some unique hair care opportunities.
This week of rasslin goodness starts the way last week ended. We review WCW Nitro from 02/19/96 where the show kicks off with a Hogan vs. Arn Anderson rematch. This match involves some confusing run ins but who's trying to figure this stuff out anyways? Loch ness then wrestles, if that's what you want to call it, Alex Wright. We have the Nitro debut of Fit Finlay, then known as "The Belfast Bruiser. He and his glorious mullet will take on Brad Armstrong and his equally glorious mullet! The main event puts Savage against Flair. This match involves all kinds of nonsensical interference and ends with Ed Leslie as "The Booty Man" channeling the gods and saving the day. At least we get some more antics at the announcer booth at the end which has Hogan really trying to get over Leslie's Booty gimmick.
It is the milestone episode #200 featuring one of the most iconic names in the history of professional wrestling, Ed Leslie otherwise known as Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake.
