The world of Professional wrestling is never without its scandelous, humorous and/or downright absurd moments, and 2004 was no different. In February of 2004 the Boston Herald reported that Ed Leslie, who most fans know as Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake had caused quite the disturbance at a MBTA subway Station. As the story reports, Leslie, who worked at the station in a ticket booth left a white powdery substance on the counter which was later determined to be cocaine. Upon discovery of the mysterious substance by a subway rider, the area was evacuated out of concern that it might be anthrax. After an emergency hazardous material response team was called Leslie came clean to being the owner of the cocaine, checked himself into rehab and managed to avoid criminal charges. While he will always be remembered for his days in the WWF and WCW, The Barber will be remember in 2004 for this outlandish moment.
