For those who don't know, at the peak of his career, Beefcake was surfing and took a Parasail square in the face. Another wrestler was there and held his face together through his mouth to keep him from choking to death on his own face. His face had to be rebuilt.

"What a waste it is to lose one's face.
Or not to have a face is being very wasteful.
How true that is."

Another wrestler was there and held his face together through his mouth to keep him from choking to death on his own face. His face had to be rebuilt.B. Brian Bair was the other wrestler, and was credited with saving Beefcake's life. Ed Leslie's face had to have a number of pins and bolts inserted to hold it together. Although he made a few appearances in the ring after the accident, his wrestling career was over - even a mild blow to the face might have been fatal. I hope he gets the help he needs.
