Bianca Belair's Hair & 9 Other Physical Traits Associated With A Wrestler
Isabella Bartlett
Throughout the years, wrestlers have either gained or used certain attributes that become a huge part of their character - Jim Neidhart’s crazy goatee or Sheamus’ mohawk for example. It makes marketing pretty easy when a superstar has a defining feature.

Bret Hart Was The Greatest Sibling Rivalry EverWhen you’re a professional wrestler or a sports entertainer, you have to be able to put a character out there every single night. Having a defining feature does make it easier to sell yourself to the fans. In some cases, it has helped superstars get over with the fans for years. Bianca Belair is one wrestler who has distinguished herself as unique on the roster, and that's partially to do with her hairstyle.
10 Bianca Belair’s Hair
It has been a long time since a superstar had such a defining feature that it has become a defining trait. But when you’re Bianca Belair not only is your hair so long that it becomes a defining feature, but The EST is so good that it’s just another feather in her cap. She has so many facets in her arsenal, much like others on this list - it’s a defining feature, but it’s certainly not the only one.
9 Ravishing Rick Rude’s Abs
While just about every single male superstars nowadays have abdominal muscles you could bounce quarters off of, during "Ravishing" Rick Rude’s heyday, he was the only one.

The chiseled physique of The Ravishing Hall Of Famer was used to help sell ladies wanting to disrobe Rude and show the world “what a real sexy man looked like.”
8 Hulk Hogan’s 24-Inch Pythons
Just about every promo Hulk Hogan ever gave during The Expansion Era featured the blond behemoth showing off what was then considered a tremendous physique. He’d constantly mention, The 24 Inch Pythons - the massive arms Hogan had (and still has). Whether they were the product of hard work in the gym or aided by some sort of enhancement drug; there is no denying that the largest arms in the world were one of the defining features of Hulkamania.
7 The Undertaker’s Tattoos
Without question, the greatest character ever created in wrestling history is The Undertaker. In a world where kayfabe was everything, somehow the fans bought into a wrestling zombie from beyond the grave. He was also really the first superstar to decorate his arms with never-ending tattoos, that only helped to further the notion that this absolute evil gimmick was even more evil.
6 Stone Cold Steve Austin’s Bald Head
While there were several cue ball wrestlers before him (eg: Nikita Koloff, The Warlord), no other superstar made the bald head and goatee look more famous than ol’ Stone Cold Steve Austin’s. Thanks to the Texas Rattlesnake, just about every balding man for the past 25 years has opted for that look - from every run-of-the-mill guy you’d see on the streets all the way to Goldberg. All it took was for an anti-authoritarian to flip off his boss and everyone wanted to be just like Stone Cold, much less shave their heads.
5 Cody Rhodes’ Neck Tattoo And Blond Hair
For some people, that giant eyesore on Cody Rhodes’ neck is his defining characteristic. But the neck tattoo is also a huge part of the branding of The American Nightmare. But another defining feature of Cody is also reminiscent of his entire family.

Both Papa and Goldust had blond hair, and Cody adopted the look of both his brother and father. It has worked wonders for his career ever since he left the WWE. Now that he is back, both features are sure to be marketed by the machine to the hilt.
4 The Macho Man’s Voice
You don’t even have to admit it - everyone read that title using their best impression of the Macho Man. Perhaps other than Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mike Tyson, and Michael Jackson, there wasn't a more recognized voice in entertainment than the Macho King. Despite all of the lavish outfits and the terrific mind for the business that helped Miss Elizabeth and "The Sensational Queen" Sherri get over, it was that “oooh yeah!” that fans all around the world still try to pull off today.
3 Stacy Keibler’s Legs
Somehow, of all the great marketing minds in WWE, it took Stacy Keibler leaving for someone to give those endless gams a nickname. When she was part of Dancing With The Stars, the former Nitro Girl’s legs were dubbed “The Weapon Of Mass Seduction.” In a locker room where a lot of ladies went the route of enhancement (not that there’s anything wrong with that), Keibler stood out by being au natural and her legs were a tremendous part of her popularity.
2 Raquel Rodriguez’s Back
If she is booked anywhere near she was booked in NXT, it won’t be long before Raquel Rodriguez is the most dominant woman on SmackDown if not all of WWE.

It has been a long time since the WWE Universe has been made to admire a woman’s backside and plenty of fans admire Big Mami Cool’s. But not for the old Attitudinal reasons, but for the musculature and the “vascularity,” as a certain bodybuilding Chairman might say.
1 Andre The Giant’s Height
There was a time when not many men were as huge as Andre The Giant. Even now today with men like Omos, Santam Singh, and Paul Wight, all of the big men pay homage to Andre. There was no one like him before or since, no matter how hard any company has tried to book their giants.
