10 Bizarre Times Wrestlers Experimented With Their Look

10. Randy Savage

The expedited pace of pro wrestling in the late-1990s was hard on a number of talents that thrived in the era, let alone ones that were products of periods that felt bygone.

It was a pity time eventually caught up to so many pioneers, especially when it drastically impacted the quality of their output. Such was the case with Randy Savage.

The former WWE Champion hadn't ever felt stale in WCW, such was the success of his 1994 move. Re-entering a squared circle Vince McMahon had deemed him too old for, the Macho Man proved his worth all over again with some awesome displays between the ropes as well as at the box office alongside old rival Ric Flair. He was a perfect fit in the New World Order between 1997 and 1998 too, elevating Diamond Dallas Page and others with selfless and strong showings.

1999 was more than just a bad Limp Bizkit song though, even if Savage returned from a hiatus dressed like one. Decked out all in black, he drained away his unique vibrancy to try and blend in with the bland rest. Boasting the biggest body he'd ever had, Savage compromised much of the fire, grace and snap that defined his dynamic offence too. The game was very suddenly gone, but the dated legend simply wanted to keep on playing.
