10 WrestleMania Results That Made Absolutely No Sense
7. Brutus Beefcake Defeats Mr. Perfect - WrestleMania VI
'Mr. Perfect' Curt Hennig was one of the biggest heels in the World Wrestling Federation as the 80s bled into the 90s. He arrived in the company towards the end of 1988, accompanied by some of the greatest vignettes in the history of wrestling no less, and went on a televised undefeated streak that stretched until the summer of 1990. He frequently bragged about his 'Perfect Record', and as such seemed to be building towards an eventual showdown with Hulk Hogan. His televised undefeated streak officially came to an end at WrestleMania VI, although not against the Hulkster. Which superstar was given the big rub of defeating this top tier performer? Who did WWF bestow the honour upon, and in the process hope to create themselves a fresh new babyface hero? None other than Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake. Yes, the man who gained a string of jobs in the 80s and 90s despite his only talent being 'friend of Hulk Hogan' was the man chosen to end the 'Perfect Record'. Actually, reading that sentence back clears up the decision to give the future Booty Man the win.
Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
