10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (April 29)
1. Chyna Once Dated Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake
Tributes have flooded in across social media for Joanie 'Chyna' Laurer over the past week. The likes of Steve Austin, Mick Foley and even Triple H paid their respects to her life and career, but it was Hulk Hogan who provided fans with perhaps the most eye-opening piece of information.
In the late-1980's, Chyna actually dated Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake. Whilst she was attending the University of Tampa, the then-teenager was romantically linked to the then-WWF star.
Mentioning the tidbit in a post on Twitter, Hogan had the wrestling world talking immediately. This was not exactly common knowledge before.
It's unclear just how long the pair were seeing one another, but it does make at least some sense. During that period, Beefcake was living in Tampa, so it's entirely plausible that he dated Chyna. Hulk Hogan also has no cause to lie or make the news up, he's good friends with Brutus.
Long before she later dated Triple H, it seems Chyna was seeing Brutus Beefcake.
