| 1 | * BadassDecay: Pretty much inevitable after his injury and having to take almost three years off. |
| 2 | * FashionVictimVillain (as a heel) |
| 3 | * CriticalDissonance: While he has a reputation (that's not entirely unfair) of riding Hulk Hogan's coattails, fans of the late 80's will remember that Beefcake was pretty over with the fans as a solid mid-card act and was a perennial contender for the Intercontinental title. |
| 4 | * GrowingTheBeard: Beefcake became a decent/good wrestler by the end of 1989. Spending a year in matches with Wrestling/TedDiBiase, Wrestling/RickMartel and Wrestling/RandySavage probably helped. |
| 5 | * HilariousInHindsight: In re the Zodiac shouting "YES! NO! YES! NO!": [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]] anyone? |
| 6 | * MemeticLoser: His career never recovered after his accident and his poor booking and constant gimmick changes in WCW have made it impossible for most fans to take him seriously. |
| 7 | * MemeticMutation: |
| 8 | ** Brutus "the fucking Barber" Beefcake. [[labelnote:explanation]]Podcaster Conrad Thompson's derisive unofficial nickname for Leslie, which he has embraced[[/labelnote]] |
| 9 | ** Listing all the different names he used over his career. |
| 10 | * NeverLiveItDown: He's far more known for being Hulk Hogan's buddy and his 18 different gimmicks than for everything else in his career. |
| 11 | * TearJerker: As noted above, Beefcake was starting to really hit his stride as 1989 wound down, and 1990 was looking to be even better for him; he even notched a Wrestling/WrestleMania win over Mr. Perfect. Whatever waited for him down the road, if not for that parasailing accident, is a tragic "What If". |
