8 Wrestlers Who Actually Looked MUCH Better BALD
5. The Big Show
The polar opposite of practically every other naked noodle grappler, there wasn't anything actually abhorrent about the fawn rug that sat atop The Big Show's head. It was, as Gretchen Wieners would put it, "fetch", even if it did border slightly on Lord Farquaad territory, and it would be difficult to talk down the success he found while sporting the look.
As The Bald Show, however? Paul Wight found his money-maker.
The story in which he lost his, by that point, balding locks reeked of early-noughties Vince McMahon creative. Feuding with Kurt Angle, The Big Show was rendered immobile after being darted with a tranquilliser, and he was given the same treatment by Angle that the Olympic gold medalist had undergone roughly two years earlier.
His dignity stripped, The Big Show embraced his hairless head as it somehow made him look more like the killer WWE thought they'd hired in 1999. In-ring-wise, Show was far from operating on the same level as, say, circa-All Japan Big Van Vader in terms of ruthlessness and barbarocity, but looks-wise, you wouldn't dare go out of your way to leave excrement in his bag, human or otherwise.
Still, it wasn't all greener on the balder side for Wight, as he decided one day to shave off his goatee, leaving him looking like the son of human thumb King Kong Bundy.
