• WWF Veteran Says He Didn’t Take Anybody’s Money, Couldn’t Attend Event Due To Family Emergency
Old School WWF Veteran Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake was scheduled to appear at shows for a wrestling promotion named CWE Canada, but he skipped out on the last few days of the tour because he was paid in advance.
Beefcake was then replaced by Impact Wrestling star and former WWE writer Jimmy Jacobs:
BIG shout out @JimmyJacobsX for not only driving through a snowstorm to bail us out on the last @CWECanada tour dates but even w/his 1st show being in the middle of nowhere found the venue on his own w/o msging me for directions. You have no idea how rare that is!
