It looks like Hulk Hogan’s longtime friend Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake (Ed Leslie) has been selling unauthorized photos of The Hulkster.
Hogan posted a photo of the two on Twitter this weekend with the caption, “Back in the day when it was straight up brother.” A fan replied, saying he met Leslie back in March at a signing and Leslie was selling 8×10 photos of Hogan. Hogan told the fan he never signed any 8×10 photos or gave them to Leslie to sell. Hogan told another Twitter user that this was a “shoot” and he was not working the fans. Below are the tweets:
