Kind of a spin-off of the goofy early looks thread. Some guys just weren't meant to grow out their hair, and this thread is for them, particularly if they also wrestled with shorter styles for comparison. Easiest one I can start with is ol' Bob Holly, leading off with the same picture from the other thread: Granted, it was in vogue in NASCAR at the time period too, but is it any wonder it took a buzzcut to remotely be able to take him seriously? And another obvious answer:

I thought Steve Austin looked fine with long hair at the time. It just looks a little odd now since we're so used to Stone Cold. I'll go with this bloke:

IMO no one techically completely doesn't work with long hair. That was just a rasslin' staple that got over because everyone wants to be that Fabio looking dude that wins titles that women completely lose their shit for.
It just so happens that some adult males look better........... with adult male haircuts. It's wild.
Remember Trips' crappy hair he hung onto for like four years too many?
Old hippies have the same problem. Even long, luxurious hair eventually jobs out.

It did help make punches look better.. Way too many mullets in early 90s wrestling, HBK, I'm looking at you.

Bret Hart's long hair has been such a major part of his image that I find it impossible to imagine him with a shorter cut.

Austin Aries never looked good with long hair. It was thinning and looked so greasy and he had this weird comb over thing going on, just a mess.

Christian. He is my favorite wrestler, but I don't think he looked good with that long hair. MUCH BETTER!

Until Edge got his hair cut really short, I could not see him with short hair at all. Even when old photos from his teen years or childhood were shown, his hair still looked long.
I will say that when he cut his hair, he reminded me so much of Eric Stoltz.

Davey Boy Smith never looked right with long hair.

Austin looked like a jabroni with long hair. I can see why he got fired.

Jon Moxley/Dean Ambrose.
There's a Heat match from 2006 that has him with very long hair, and it's not a good look whatsoever.
Also, I'll cosign Austin Aries. His run in TNA was the best he looked physically, and a lot of that is due to his short hair.

Chris Benoit looked really odd with longer hair. Davey Boy Smith never looked right with long hair. I actually think he looked better with long hair, particularly during his braided period.

Chris Benoit looked really odd with longer hair. I vaguely recalled this from some early WCW matches of him (around the same period Eddie had his atrocious mullet) so I searched for it, and, well... The early 90s were rough for everyone, it seems.

I always thought Brutus Beefcake and Rick Rude looked way better with short hair.

Davey Boy Smith never looked right with long hair. Hair was designed by Whoopi Goldberg.

I dunno, Brutus looked silly with long hair but when he returned as the disciple, I feel that look really worked for him. It's a shame he sucked in the ring at that point and was tied to the Hogan/Warrior storyline.
