In hindsight, it’s pretty ironic that a pro wrestler nicknamed
“The Barber” had a mullet
Ahh...the 80's. An entire decade of bad decisions. Watching pro wrestling, for one.
Hey! There's nothing wrong with enjoying a little sports entertainment now and again. However, there's nothing right about mullets...and there really never has been.
So, back around that timeframe, there was a pro wrestler named Brutus Beefcake. As if "Beefcake" wasn't enough, he felt like he needed a nickname. And unlike sone awful pro wrestling nicknames such as the "Repo Man" or, "The Dumpster," or an evil dentist, or "Adam Bomb" or "Doink The Clown"...I could go on...Brutus chose something with class, distinction, and intimidation. He went with "The Barber."
He would walk to the ring holding a shiny pair of hedge clippers, and cut the hair off of any opponent he happened to beat. I Am Not Making This Up.
The only problem was...he had a truly awful haircut himself. There were very few other people in wrestling at the time who could have benefited more from a new haircut than "The Barber" himself.
