10 Most Radical Wrestling Makeovers

10. Bradshaw To JBL

Granted, there were one or two personality traits shared by APA heavy Bradshaw and John "Bradshaw" Layfield, the smug self-made millionaire who arrived in the ring via a limousine with decorative bull horns attached to the hood.

They were both to some extent Texan stereotypes, they both loved a practical joke, and they each had a wicked mean streak (although, to be fair, that last one is probably to do with the Clothesline From Hell, a move you can't execute unless you're seriously angry).

But there are also glaring differences which one can't overlook. The Bradshaw of old was supposed to be a no-nonsense every-man. The character who replaced him, on the other hand, was smug and elitist; the kind of guy who talks up his patriotism while insisting he got where he is all by himself.

And, to be fair, it was his resemblance to many of the world's most polarising public figures that made him such an exceptional heel. Few wrestlers this side of the 21st century have attracted such levels of hatred, and fewer still did it after years a good guy.
