Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake (Ed Leslie) and Hulk Hogan have been close friends for several years, dating back to their days as WWE superstars.
That friendship may be tested, though, if recent allegations are proven to be true.
Hogan recently posted a photo of him and Leslie standing in the ring at WrestleMania on Twitter:

A fan responded by saying that Leslie was selling signed photos of Hogan back in March:
@HulkHogan I met Ed in March he was selling some signed 8×10 of yourself sir

Hogan let everyone know that he never signed any photos for Leslie to sell:
@WrestlingOf90s sorry I never signed any 8/10s or gave any of them to Brutus to sell,not cool at all my brother. HH

Editor’s Note
Awkward. I’m not sure how upset Hogan is, but I’d certainly be a tad peeved if one of my friends was looking to make money off of my name.
