10 WWE Wrestlers Who Break The Corporate Mould

2. Aleister Black

Aleister Black is a rather scary looking individual. If you were to run into this man in a moshpit, you'd likely be intimidated, even if he was perfectly polite. This is because his intense stare and heavily tattooed body are so out of the ordinary for many people, especially within World Wrestling Entertainment.

The company have seen heavily tattooed wrestlers before such as CM Punk and Jeff Hardy, but Black beats them all, thanks to the wide variations of his ink, and the wealth of space they take up on his body. If WWE wants to present their performers as loveable and superhero-like, then an almost entirely tattooed man, who looks like he could break you in half is not what they would typically go for.

However, more than just his looks, there is a brutality and darkness to the Aleister Black persona that contradicts the positive and PG vibes the company tries to attain. He is slow and deliberate and walks to the ring, looking like a member of the occult. He's precisely the kind of superstar you could imagine hanging at the bar at a black metal gig in some dingy dive bar, which is far from the image of a child-friendly wrestling figure.
