Like most fashion trends over the years, the Mohawk hairstyle has seen dramatic spikes in popularity and steep declines into virtual obscurity. In a lot of ways it rides the same rollercoaster as the WWE: you're never quite sure when the next boom period will come but there's a distinct suggestion that its probably just around the corner. But one thing we all know is that Vince McMahon loves to be part of the in crowd. He loves his WWE empire to feel socially relevant, and he will pounce on something that swells in popularity like a cheetah on a galloping gazelle. So it was no surprise to see wrestlers suddenly sporting Mohawks whenever they crept back into the limelight during the 1980s and late 1990s and again today. Not that this is a bad thing of course. Mohawks look cool and more importantly they're striking enough and require enough bravery that they can give a struggling character the injection boost of charisma theyre perhaps otherwise lacking. A little like a mask, really. But when it comes down to it, which wrestlers had the most infamous Mohawk?
10. The Nasty Boys
The Nasty Boys get the kick off spot because, well, how could anyone be sure what they were going for with this hairstyle. Trapped between a mullet and a Mohawk, Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags might have been a force to be reckoned with but their fashion sense was even more insulting than their Pit Stop signature move. However, despite looking and acting like a pair of cheap thugs in a Jean Claude Van Damme movie, Knobbs and Sags held the WWF Tag Team titles on one occasion and the WCW Tag Team titles three times during their active in-ring years. And amid claims the Nasty Boys worked too stiff in the ring, as evidenced by their 1997 tag match in WCW against The Outsiders turning into a legitimate shoot, the duo go down in history as something of an infamous team with a (sadly) very memorable hairdo.
