AEW has repeatedly paid respect to pro wrestling’s past since the company’s launch by bringing in several talents from the 80s and 90s, including Bret Hart, The Rock’ N Roll Express, J.J. Dillon, Greg Valentine, and DDP to make appearances. Yet, one star from the 80s has revealed he has no intention of working with Tony Khan’s promotion if asked. Brutus Beefcake would reveal this during a recent interview with WrestlingINC, saying when asked about working for AEW that he still sees himself as a WWE guy. He would, though, say his grandson is a fan of Jungle Boy, so he has watched some of his matches.
65-year-old Brutus Beefcake worked for WWE between 1984 and 1993. However, he did lose two years of his career following a parasailing accident which resulted in him having his face rebuilt. He would then go on to join his longtime friend Hulk Hogan in WCW between 1994–1996 and again in 1998–1999. After this, he would depart the big leagues and occasionally wrestle on independent shows until his retirement in 2015. Nevertheless, he would return to WWE in 2019 to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by Hogan.
