10 Forgotten WWE Match Types

3. Hair Vs. Hair

NXT recently used this concept, but as far as the main roster goes, it's been a good while since a WWE superstar was forced to have their head shaved as a result of losing a match. There have also been incarnations of Mask vs. Hair matches which were seen a couple of times throughout the last half-decade (such as CM Punk versus Rey Mysterio in 2010), but a true Hair vs. Hair match might be one that's been forgotten. Obviously, when thinking about Hair vs. Hair matches Vince McMahon and WrestleMania 23 come to mind, but there have also been other superstars to lose their hair throughout their career. Usually, the losing superstar takes the hair loss as a chance to re-tool their character and reinvent themselves with a new gimmick or look. Kurt Angle, CM Punk and Jeff Jarrett all suffered from losing their hair in WWE matches and turned the embarrassing loss into a catalyst for change. Hair vs. Hair is one match where, because of the promised aftermath, it usually creates an exciting environment and a match that fans highly anticipate. Especially with the number of characters that could use a freshening up or reboot, a Hair vs. Hair match would be an interesting stipulation to see return to WWE in 2016.
