Many times in wrestling is a Superstar in desperate need of something need. Sometimes that can be accomplished by turning face/heel, switching shows (which is no longer an option with the Brand Split dead), or completely redoing their look. It worked wonders for Husky Harris who lost some weight, grew a crazy-long beard and adopted the name of Bray Wyatt. He went from being a henchmen in The New Nexus to facing John Cena at WrestleMania. What a transformation. Ever get a haircut and say, "This is a new me"? Well, consider yourself "repackaged." It was a running joke for a few years not too long ago that after someone turned heel, they'd grow a beard. CM Punk, Batista and even Hulk Hogan back in the 1990s all began sporting facial hair as soon as they tuned their backs on the fans. Nowadays, whenever a male mark grows out their beard, they consider themselves "heel." A alteration in appearance can do a lot to change people's perception of you, regardless of whether it's in wrestling or reality.
