10 Bizarre Times Wrestlers Experimented With Their Look
2. Ric Flair
'The Nature Boy' can and has pulled off just about every look imaginable in wrestling, from his youngest days as a bulky powerlifter all the way through to his post-retirement run as beloved icon of the hip hop community and ostentatious father figure to one of this generation's best.
He's also a wrestler that features so prominently in pictures and videos of countless bygone eras that it's difficult to find any of his aesthetics that actually still have the power to shock.
Enter ponytailed yuppie Ric Flair.
The Four Horseman were riding almost as high as their mid-1980s peak when Flair briefly chose to embrace this awesome look for his famous flowing locks. As is tradition in wrestling, the character was just behind the curve by 1990, but it represented a far superior change than the ones Jim Herd was pitching not long afterwards.
He'd clip his hair between this spell and his 1991 jump to WWE, but we were thankfully spared the full "Spartacus" reinvention that gave him an almighty push out the door.
