10 Best Wrestling Face Paints Ever

1. Finn Bálor

So some will complain that anyone so current, so new, so fresh should not be on the top of a 'Best Ever' list that contains iconic superstars such as Sting, The Ultimate Warrior, and Kobald. I truly believe however, that if you lined these 10 options up in front of someone who had absolutely no knowledge of professional wrestling whatsoever and asked their opinion on which was the best, Finn Bálor would be the landslide winner.

That's just taking his WWE paint into account. If you take his entire war paint cosplaying history into account you have a clear winner in the professional wrestling face paint stakes. Will Bálor get to reprise any of his alternatives in NXT and on the main roster? Most likely not, but that doesn't change how varied and awesome they truly were.

Finn Bálor simply gets modern professional wrestling, and the introduction of the war paint into his arsenal was a big step forward for him. In canon it gives him extra power, to the point where is undefeated still when the Demon Bálor makes an appearance. Whether it is complexity of design, in-canon importance or simply the cool factor, Finn Bálor wins this easily.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
