10 Most Outrageously Creepy Pro Wrestling Face-Paints

4. The Missing Link

Sometimes it€™s the simple things that are the most effective. Take a standard, healthy looking wrestler, shave part of his hair and beard off, and then add green and blue face paint. What do you get? Apparently Charles Darwin€™s answer to Creationism. Dubbed The Missing Link, Dewey Robertson managed to create a persona that left a long lasting impression in the minds of many a wrestling fan back in the seventies and eighties. While he started out as a regular performer in NWA, it wasn€™t until he went to Mid-South Wrestling in 1983 that he came up with the Missing Link gimmick. The crowd loved his unique look, and he went on to have feuds with such big names as the Von Erichs and The Fabulous Freebirds. Two years later, WWE would pick him up and have him dominate over jobbers with none other than Bobby €œThe Brain€ Heenan by his side. Then a few months later The Missing Link left WWE and suddenly went€missing. Eventually he popped back up in WCCW and retired from wrestling in the nineties. But for as short a stint as he had, he gave the wrestling world a disturbing facial image that would haunt the hallowed halls for many years to come. It would also inspire other wrestlers to get creative with their own face paint.
