10 Worst Uses Of Face Paint In Wrestling
5. The Stalker
The Stalker was already a pretty lame gimmick to slap on a legend like Barry Windham, but perhaps hindsight is biased. Maybe the character could have had some appeal at one time, but the face paint just made it impossible for it to work.
First off, camouflage is utterly useless in a wrestling match. In fact, unless you adorn yourself from head to toe in the exact colour of the canvas, it actually creates a sharper contrast and makes you stick out like a (filthy) sore thumb…
In terms of execution, the Stalker's roughly smeared looked made him look less like a survivalist or soldier of fortune, and more like a guy who tripped into his own outhouse pit.
