Let's be clear: Mr. Fuji is a legend as both a wrestler and a manager. He has absolutely nothing in common with the more forgettable types in this top ten... 

Except for one thing. 

While he was managing Demolition (and later the Powers of Pain,) Fuji would mirror his protégés by donning two little red wings around his eyes. 

Of course, face paint is usually supposed to add an ominous air to a character (especially a heel). Though it's hard to look ominous in a tuxedo and bowler hat, Fuji's garb did absolutely nothing except make him look like he'd gotten into Mrs. Fuji's makeup drawer. 

Even though there was a context for his paint, it was just about as pointless as if Paul Heyman got a dagger chest tattoo nowadays.
