10 Best Wrestling Face Paints Ever
8. Legion Of Doom
Okay, I know, the Legion of Doom are probably the most iconic tag team in the history of the business. Animal and Hawk were responsible for making tag team wrestling truly big business, and they were as tough and ready as they come. Their matches weren't pretty, but fighting rarely is. They made spiked shoulder-pads and face-paint cool. More than cool: insanely cool.
But you know what, let's talk about this face paint for a moment. Sure, it is awesome it an iconic manner, but from an artistic point of view? Hawk's almost looks lazy, the project of a child who has no interest in pursuing a career in art. Admittedly the red and black matched the colour scheme of the duo, and he gets points for that.
As for Animal, oh boy. If Hawk is a lazy art project, Animal is the over-excited version. There's just too much going on here to truly take in, all intricate colour and spikes making for an unfocused design. To top it off a spider sits on his forehead, for some reason that I can't quite figure out.
Iconic? Yes. Messy? Yes.
