[Breaking News] Brutus The Barber Beefcake Released From LCW Contract

As first reported on LCW's Official Twitter account (twitter.com/lcwrestling), LCW has come to terms on the release of Brutus The Barber Beefcake. LCW wishes Beefcake the best in all future endeavors.

Beefcake, who was to receive a shot at the LCW Universal Championship this past Wednesday on LCW Showdown as a result of the LCW Showdown Championship Draft Series, was unable to face LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin and was instead attacked by Sid Vicious, Austin's opponent at the LCW Showdown at the Chase television special this Saturday.

Beefcake is a former LCW United States Champion and LCW Television Champion and has been with the company since its inception in 2005.

It is believed that this is the first of several releases expected as a result of Hulk Hogan's signing with TNA. Stay tuned to LegendsWrestling.com as we'll have more on this story as it continues to develop.
