Ed Leslie has portrayed more gimmicks than most throughout his pro wrestling career.

He's played Hulk Hogan's little brother. A stripper. A barber. A turncoat Butcher. An Amnesiac (the Man With No Name, what a rib that was). A Borderline Mute. A supernatural entity afflicted by Broca's Aphasia. A Disciple. "Big Brother Booty". Wasn't he Hogan's younger brother? Was he also The Man With No Age? Thankfully, things didn't escalate that far. Vince McMahon wasn't so in awe of Hogan that he felt he needed to hire Leslie to appease him upon his 2002 return.

Leslie has also portrayed a man obsessed with his own backside - and has now disappeared up it. The man owes his entire career to former buddy Hulk Hogan - and he's only gone and reprised his role as the turncoat Butcher by threatening to write a tell-all tome about the man. This is like a scolded toddler threatening to run away because his parents cut them off for an hour. It is that pathetic. That bloody ungrateful. Hogan has also been outed as a racist, a pathological liar, a man who fancies his own daughter and once smeared her arse with tanning oil. Oh, he also once suggested that the brain damage suffered by a man his son wrapped around a lamppost was "God's will".

How much more is there to tell?
