Who do you think had the most look changes with there gimmick changes over the year where when you looked at them, you really couldn't tell it was the previous wrestler right away. I know now with the internet and how most fans have become "smarks", we know who was who etc.. But back in the day the two people I was surprised to find out all these wrestlers were the same were :
Barry Darsow - Smash, Repo Man, Blacktop Bully.. After a while I caught on, but at the time I thought they were all different people!
Glenn Jacobs - Issac Yankem, Fake Diesel, Kane - Granted with Kane that one would have been hard to tell for most, but Issac Yankem to Diesel, I'm sure some saw it right away, but it took me a while..
Any other that you can think of?
EDIT : One more I just thought of after watching a clip on Youtube is...
Matt Osborne : From Big Josh to Doink... Such a radical change..

Not one where you couldn't tell who it was, but Superstar Billy Graham's change from the over the top " superstar" persona to a no frills 'karate master' was pretty drastic.

Barry Darsow - Smash, Repo Man, Blacktop Bully.. After a while I caught on, but at the time I thought they were all different people! And before he was Smash, he was Krusher Kruschev, Soviet sympathizer. "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes becoming Goldust was pretty significant change. I didn't know for years that Black Blood in early '90s WCW was Billy Jack Haynes. Or that the Super Invader in WCW who was managed by Harley Race and did some tags with Vader was Hercules. |

The Wall to Malice was a pretty drastic one.
Even though it's more of an evolution than a drastic change, Terra Ryzing to HHH is a pretty impressive change.
