12 Times WWE Tried To Convince You Wrestlers Were Related

3. Brutus Beefcake And Hulk Hogan

Were you one of those who thought these two were legitimately related? Well, they aren't. Although you can't be blamed for thinking these two were siblings due to how many strings Hulk pulled for Brutus over their career. Beefcake - played by Ed Leslie - actually started his career alongside Hogan way back in 1977. While Hogan was tearing sh*t up as Terry Boulder, Leslie was by his side as his brother, Ed. Yes, I concede this was before Hogan joined WWE but it's fair to say that the confusion surrounding their relationship ran right through their tenure with Vince McMahons Snr and Jnr. Hogan's real name, of course, is Terry Bollea, meaning that he isn't even remotely close to being related to the famous hairdresser. They're merely great friends.
