8 Wrestlers Who Actually Looked MUCH Better BALD

Cheating in a sense, considering he was never bald bald, but it would be remiss to omit Randy Orton: he looked like a serial killer as a skinhead, missing only a scruffy, off-brand Adidas tracksuit and an ASBO to complete the British estate aesthetic.

It was under this look that Orton reached the apex of his career. He dominated WWE programming throughout 2009, albeit in sloppy, uneven programmes opposite Triple H and John Cena, in a run that actually benefited from revisionist history. At the time, most viewers who could be bothered to voice their opinion about peak-PG WWE, what with its Hornswoggle-Chavo Guerrero Home Alone spoofs, Little People's Court, and Santina bloody Marella, made disdaining Randy's character arc their personality.

Today? It is held by some people in as high regard as the peak of 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and The Rock.

Nobody cares to remember the absolute drivel Randy produced with this look because they grew up and developed an infatuation with his This Is England cosplay. Footage and still images of circa-'09 Orton share as much of a digital footprint as that sequence of Cesaro's or that promo of Samoa Joe's: he looked lit, as the kids say.

Do the kids still say lit?

Was Randy Orton actually bearable to watch in 2009?

The answer is no, to both queries. He still looked mint, mind.
