10 WEIRD Changes Wrestlers Made You Definitely Don't Remember
1. American Beard Ass
Conscious of his reputation as one of WWE’s most valuable ever commodities by the mid-2000s, The Undertaker’s bold reinvention as a big stage super-worker was the most unexpected of delights.
As was this random bit of scruff when he burst out of a flaming box at Survivor Series 2005.
Setting his sights on Randy Orton after the ‘Legend Killer’ had locked him in a casket and set it on fire a month earlier, ‘The Deadman’ kicked out of actual death for the umpteenth time and sent Orton heading for the hills ahead of their Hell In A Cell match a month later. It made for one of several memorable comebacks in his career, but few people seem to remember or reminisce on the grizzled face fuzz.
At the aforementioned Armageddon payoff match, Randy was predictably forced to meet his maker, but so too was Undertaker’s new look. Clearly the beard was borne of his time trapped inside his fiery tomb rather than a conscious add-on to the other rebranding efforts he was evidently into at the time.
