Hey guys, so today I was digging into this whole wrestling world, and I stumbled upon this name, Melissa Caruso. Sounds pretty ordinary, right? But turns out, she’s tied to some interesting wrestling drama. This got me hooked, and I just had to dive deeper.
First thing I did was hit up the usual spots for info, trying to piece together who Melissa Caruso is. It’s like putting together a puzzle, but some pieces are missing. I found out she’s married to this wrestler, Leslie, but not just any wrestler. This guy’s got a history, let me tell you.
So, Leslie, also known as Brutus Beefcake in the ring, had a pretty rough time. This guy was married to Melissa Caruso since 2013. Before that, he was with Kirsten Georgi from ’87 to ’91. Marriage in 2013 to Melissa, that’s a new chapter, right? But it wasn’t all smooth sailing.
I started reading about this crazy accident he had. Picture this: it’s 1990, and he’s helping a buddy with parasailing. Then, bam! A miscommunication, and the boat driver yanks his friend, whose knees slam right into Leslie’s face. I mean, ouch! It crushed his facial skeleton. Can you imagine? That’s enough to make anyone quit, but not Leslie.
Then I got into his career. He started around the same time as Hulk Hogan, and they were like two peas in a pod, teaming up and all that. They went by “Terry & Ed Boulder” and “Hulk & Dizzy Hogan,” pretending to be brothers. That’s kinda cool, right?

The Comeback
Fast forward to ’98, Leslie’s back in the game as The Disciple, Hollywood Hogan’s bodyguard. This guy’s got a beard now, dark sunglasses, looking all mysterious. Later, Roddy Piper spills the beans on who he really is. And guess what? He gets a new gig as The Barber after helping Piper in a Hair vs. Hair match at WrestleMania III. Talk about a career change!
So, yeah, that’s the scoop on Melissa Caruso and her wrestler husband, Leslie. It’s like a soap opera, but with more muscles and spandex. I just thought it was a wild story worth sharing. Wrestling’s got some crazy backstories, huh?
