![]() I mean, besides (probably) being way more into him as a wrestler, there’s something about Ray Rougeau’s mustache I find oddly comforting. If Eddie Guerrero ever put on a glove, we’d include it in our VALENTINE’S DAY IS FOR GLOVERS: THE 30 BEST GLOVES IN WRESTLING HISTORY listicle.ĭanielle: When Brandon and I were divvying up which mustached fellows we wanted to write about, I knew I had to get legendary Quebecois wrestler Ray Rougeau. Also, you know, it was on Eddie Guerrero’s face. Then, with just a change of a facial expression, it could make him look like a well-meaning and kinda-square do-gooder. When it had to, it made Eddie look like an insincere jerk. It was one of the most utilitarian mustaches of the 90s. I’ve always been sad that the payoff to this wasn’t the Bees losing the masks, and Blair having to roll under the ring and buzz off the mustache to keep the illusion alive.īrandon: The Guerrero family is full of good mustaches - Mando in particular - but Eddie Classic makes our list. It was a primitive, non-biological form of Twin Magic. The referee wouldn’t be able to tell them apart, so they could cheat and switch places. If you’ve never seen them, Blair and “Jumpin'” Jim Brunzell would escape under the ring when they got in trouble and emerge in a pair of matching masks. ![]() This mustache was the reason the Killer Bees gimmick existed. The fact that Blair looked like a wrestling Bill Engvall made it even better. It’s barely even hair, it’s just a rectangle of brownish-red discoloration on the upper lip. Brian Blair had the ultimate 80s dad mustache, also known as the Chemistry Teacher Walter White. Welp, it was fun while it lasted, I guess.īrandon: Don’t let The Iron Sheik know we put him on the list.ī. Of course, the problem with looking like the biggest douchelord in the WWE is that he really did follow through with behaving like one during a tour of Australia. While it may not have been a great look realistically, there was something about the way it suddenly aged him about twenty years and added an instant sheen of greasy asshole that probably betrays more about my personal predilections than I would ever want it to. Growing a mustache made him go from kind of a dickbag to full-on smarmy douchelord and I was into it. While I can’t say I’ve ever been a real fan of CM Punk (hold your boos I’m making a point), I was not against New Nexus CM Punk. ![]() As a Certified Mustache Enthusiast™, I wholeheartedly believe that most any wrestler can be improved with a sweet ‘stache. As a girl with a known fondness for both mustaches and time-displaced wrestlers, I pretty much have to be all-in on someone whose persona hinges on being both an Olde Time Strongman and possible secret Time Lord.ĭanielle: Mustache CM Punk is a tricky one for me. ![]() It’s the kind of mustache you’d see drawn onto an Italian stereotype on the side of a pizza box, or even sported by the villain in a Victorian stage melodrama. I love Gotch’s because it’s just … I mean, it’s A Mustache. There are innumerable independent wrestlers who are rocking some mean ‘staches, some that would rival or even surpass Gotch’s, but hey, if I didn’t feature someone from NXT Brandon would probably fire me. So! Without further explanation, here are our choices for the 30 greatest mustaches in pro wrestling history.ĭanielle: I’m not gonna lie, Simon Gotch barely squeaked onto this list. Some guys had great mustaches for a short portion of their career, and that may have bumped them down the list. Each entry contains an explanation of why they ranked where they ranked, but for the sake of transparency we considered style, grooming, fullness, importance to character and time spent on the face. There may be instances of them going bare-chinned, but if it wasn’t common enough we made a judgment call. That excluded a few notable mustaches, like Dutch Mantell/Zeb Colter. If they had a great ‘stache but too much chin hair, we disqualified them. If the person had facial hair above their lip but not on their chin, we let it count. Note: The definition of what a mustache is can vary, so here’s what we did. About which pro wrestlers had the best mustaches. This list was put together with education and science, so remember that while you may disagree (and voice your opinions in our comments section below) the list is objective and final. ![]() In celebration of another year Movembered, we decided to comb the history of professional wrestling and list our choices for the 30 greatest soup-strainers in the sport’s history. It’s December 1st, which means Movember is over and you can shave that unsightly growth off your face. ![]()
