The Mega-Maniacs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mega-Maniacs was the World Wrestling Federation tag team of Hulk Hogan & Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake.

They first teamed together to take on the "Macho Man" Randy Savage & Zeus at SummerSlam 1989. They later reunited in 1993 with manager Jimmy Hart to take on the team of Money Inc.. At WrestleMania IX, Hogan & Beefcake came so close to winning the WWF Tag Team Titles from Money Inc. until the referee discovered that Hogan used Beefcake's metal mask to knock out Money Inc., thus ending the match in a disqualification.

The team later left the WWF and went to World Championship Wrestling where they teamed again until Beefcake betrayed Hogan, which led to a feud between the two. They did not team up again until Brutus (at the time was known as "The Booty Man") joined Hogan's nWo as Hogan's bodyguard known as "The Disciple".
