10 Bizarre Times Wrestlers Experimented With Their Look

4. The Brothers Of Destruction

Once and never again for The Undertaker and Kane, this strange attempt to perhaps look more like a tag team when pitted against Edge & Christian and The Dudley Boyz at No Way Out 2001 instead only functioned to reduce their aura as the deadliest duo.

'The Big Red Machine' had not a jot of of rouge on him, instead going for an all-black ensemble that made him look like he was in floor-to-ceiling hosiery. The company had long tired of his backstory as it was, but there could be no doubt that it was only the face rather than anything else that had been exposed to that house fire many years ago.

Presumably, the mirrors were destroyed too, because his brother's attempt at working in tights as the 'American Bad *ss' was one to forget. Literally, it seems - almost nobody remembers this odd flirtation with a former look, mainly because Undertaker smartly binned it off after one night. It'd maybe have gotten a pass for the red detailing of his logo and lettering, had it not been for Kane's aforementioned abandonment of the colour.
