Added DiffLines:

* BigEater: According to his friend Mick Foley, Brian "could keep pace at a buffet table with the best of them. Unfortunately, his metabolism was practically superhuman, and as such, nature never let him get above a hundred and fifty pounds."


Added DiffLines:

* IgnoredExpert: He was a big advocate of Wrestling/SatoruSayama a.k.a. Tiger Mask, and one of the first American wrestlers to begin studying and trying to replicate his aerial techniques, though there were few Americans in the 80s who had the required smaller stature to pull them off.

* CaptainErsatz[=/=]WritingAroundTrademarks: As [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Kowabunga the Ninja Turtle]] in SMW.[[note]]Ever hear anyone mention Wrestling/JimCornette wrestling against a "ninja turtle" as a comeback to Cornette's rants about the rampant idiocy and silliness of modern wrestling? That match did indeed happen, and Hildebrand was the man in the shell. Cornette will often cite this as an example of good comedy (in this case hamulating at hated heel manager to the delight of the crowd), as opposed to bad comedy, i.e. guys doing stupid shit just for the sake of doing stupid shit to amuse their friends in the locker room[[/note]]
