13 Times The Joker & Harley Quinn Inspired Wrestlers

8. Finn Bálor

Joker Sting
Progress Wrestling

Once in a blue moon, Finn Bálor taps into his darker side and brings out what WWE has dubbed his "Demon King" persona, wherein he paints his body and face to look like a more unhinged and otherworldly version of himself.

That in and of itself is very cool, but WWE's insistence on owning trademarks has prevented him from doing what he originally did prior to signing with World Wrestling Entertainment, which was much more akin to Rey Mysterio's wider variety of cosplaying homages.

Before he was Finn Bálor, he was Prince Devitt, and he made a name for himself not just for his wrestling skills, but his range of outfits and body paint styles that referenced a multitude of characters.

Naturally, that extended to his takes on the likes of Darth Maul, Bane, Freddy Kreuger and more, with The Joker being one of his simpler, yet best adaptations.

This look was his choice for the PROGRESS Chapter 13: Unbelievable Jeff! event in 2014, where he defeated Zack Sabre Jr in one of his last matches before signing with WWE.
