Moustaches are pretty much pro-wrestlers in microcosm. They come in all shapes and sizes, but generally - and for one promoter in particular - the bigger and shinier they are, the better.

(Note: the definition of 'moustache' was applied very strictly here. Beard wearers will have to wait for their moment in the sun.)
