Dark Side Of The Ring: Saving Face, The Brutus Beefcake Story.

Ed Leslie went from the independent circuit to WWF and becoming a tag team partner with Greg Valentine then going solo with his famous gimmick "The Barber. July 4th 1990 he was involved in a parasailing accident and then returning to wrestling with WWF teaming up with Hogan that was short lived then joining WCW and going through gimmicks and then doing a normal job in Boston that caused problems and his falling out with Hulk Hogan.

How could anyone hate Brutus as a heel then becoming more popular with his barber gimmick and wanting him to cut people's hair. Everyone who followed wrestling knew about his accident but I never really knew how severe it was, this programme does show actual x-rays of his skull and discussion on how his face was rebuilt, going from a wrestling sensation to having almost nothing.

Contributions from Brutus Beefcake, Missy Leslie (wife), B. Brian Blair, Greg Valentine, Missy Hyatt, Brian Knobbs, Dr. Mutaz Habal, Eric Bischoff.
