18 Image Changes WWE Wrestlers Should Never Have Tried

13. Time To Call It A Day, Dead Man

Ever since the Undertaker emerged from hiding in the lead-up to Wrestlemania XXVIII with a ridiculous curly black wig to hide the fact that he€™d shaved his increasingly receding hair off months earlier, questions began to be asked about when exactly it was that the man would be retiring. That€™s not a coincidence. When he threw back his hood on the big night itself, facing off against Triple H to reveal a craggy old man€™s face with a badly buzzed scalp and the ghost of a beard, the Game stepped back, his confidence dented, stunned by the change in the Dead Man. The rest of us just wondered who the old fella in the guyliner was, and when the Undertaker would be coming out. It got worse. Two years later, we were presented with a lean, elderly looking Undertaker: buzzed mohawk combining with a giant, dyed black goatee to look like nothing so much as a skinny orangutan. You would have thought that Mark Calaway would have figured out that he looks vaguely simian with a shaved top lip back in his Ministry Of Darkness days, but apparently he felt that advancing middle age would make less of a monkey out of him.

Last summer€™s partially-grown-out receded, dyed black mullet on top of his old man face was no improvement, but slack was cut by the crowd because he looked like he was built out of the same rock as Stonehenge, and wrestled like the last two years had happened to someone else. Hopefully when he turns up again in a few weeks he€™ll have consulted a hair stylist. Or a mirror.
