10 Wrestlers Who Benefited From Looking Incredibly Stupid

10. Sheamus Looks Stupid

Our most recent entrant, Sheamus returned to the WWE ring after nearly 5 months on the bench nursing multiple injuries. And he didn't return alone, he brought a large barrel full of derp with him. Sheamus was not content with already looking fairly dumb, with vertical ginger hair, a ginger goatee, and skin so fair that a casual viewer stumbling across the Celtic Warrior for the first time could reasonably assume that the WWE was haunted by the ghost of street fighter characters past. Not satisfied with only going half-Zangief, the Great White has shaved his head into a ginger mohawk and braided his beard. He looks like the world's angriest chicken, or a metrosexual viking. Reasonably, the fans have started chanting "you look stupid." But this is great for Sheamus. The man doesn't act stupid. He doesn't wrestle stupid. The only thing stupid about him is his look; he's otherwise as physically impressive as he ever was. This new 'stupid' dimension to his character gives him a dialogue with the fans. The WWE has already leapt on the chant, having Sheamus be visibly shaken by the fan's outpouring of scorn and replying, "This is what a real man looks like." All Sheamus ever needed was a way-in for the fans, something that was his and his alone. His lame jokes and constant victories were just John Cena all over again. Now that he looks stupid, the fans could very well embrace him as a legitimate talent. Which is somewhat depressing, when you think about it.
