18 Image Changes WWE Wrestlers Should Never Have Tried

14. You Look Stupid (Clap Clap Clapclapclap)

When he returned to action last spring, consensus was that Sheamus had taken the Celtic Warrior nickname a little too literally. The mohawk was one thing. The braids/beads in his beard, another. The piercings? Not so bad, taken on their own. But the effect of all of them together was, and still is, utterly tragic. Now, the astute amongst you may have noticed that I myself am no stranger to sporting ridiculous facial hair, or to the mohawk as a hairstyle. The difference is that I am not a handsome man: without some form of distracting follicular fuzz, my fugly face looks like a melted telephone. My wife is far too beautiful to be seen with a man like that. People would think she€™d been sold into slavery by witches. Sheamus already had a novel, unique look, as an ivory-skinned ginger colossus with a Harley Race beard. Making him look like his own medieval ancestor was entirely unnecessary. And, of course - because WWE has trained its superstars to misunderstand the difference between heel heat and weary contempt - the shouts and jeers and chants of YOU LOOK STUPID have been seized and worn as a badge of pride. Yes, thought the massive red-headed stepchild. I€™m finally getting over. No, thought the increasingly jaded crowd. You look like the tangled, matted rear end of a terrier.
