I know one of the reasons they didn't want Steve Corino back in 2001 was all the scar tissue on his forehead. Looks definitely come into play in WWE.

Looks are very important.
Christian is a perfectly presentable looking guy, but he has a bit of a receding hairline and an average face, and an average physique. He looks like he works in an office or something. That's one of the reasons why he wasn't a top guy.

Then you have your bland looking white guy with shaved head and plain trunks look. Again, I'm talking physically and not ability wise. To me, Ryback will always look like a goofball. A HUGELY jacked goofball. Steve Austin was actually quite a handsome guy, with piercing blue eyes and strong features, combined with a muscular yet average for a wrestler physique, yet he was tall enough to be believable. I think if Austin was the same character but as jacked (and immobile) as a Lex Luger, then it would have been to his detriment. He wouldn't have looked like a beer drinkin, tough guy hellraiser, but a preening bodybuilder/steroid-head. Goldberg was kind of a combo of the two. Jacked as hell, but had an interesting face with strong features, and he always looked like a lion.

Sara Del Rey
If she was better looking facially, I think she would have been a big star in wwe.

Finn Balor hasnt been called up because he has a comb-over. Rusev is slipping down the card as his hairline is slipping back. Rick Viktor never had a chance; he was even a nobody jobber on episode one of Fullsail NXT. I'm assuming this is a joke, but Balor and Rusev are just fine. Viktor is starting to look like Stabler from SVU. He needs to bulk up a little and do something with the hair. Neville probably won't get too far because he looks like a jacked Screech Powers with a massive forehead. Gotta throw a mask on him or something...amazing talent though.

Corbin really just needs higher pants. And tattoo removal surgery. And a goatee/beard. And to put on a little more bulk.

For all Rusev's positives, I struggle to see him as intimidating because he has such sad eyes.
Kevin Owens is an intelligent, erudite man, but his look screams "dumb henchman."
Braun Strowman looks like a baby accidentally bottle-fed steroids and apatosaur DNA.

Maybe, but I'm willing to bet most of us don't spend our workdays shirtless (at the very least) either.

I love the circular reasoning about why this is a viable topic. "It's important because it's important! People care about it because people care about it!"
You want to bitch about people's looks, fine; at least we haven't descended into creepy body dysmorphia yet. But it's pretty tacky to act like you just care about people not reaching their full potential or whatever.

We can do that all day, but that's not what this thread is about. A professional wrestlers looks are extremely important. While a flawless appearance isn't necessary, it definitely helps to have good facial features, an interesting/unique/attention grabbing look, and hair that matches what you're going for.

Big Shows first run was stilted due to all the weight gain. Poor guy fluctuated with that over the years.
Its obvious whats going on with Dean but the saving grace is he's a natural heel and once his hair thins to the point of no return, he can shave that sumbitch off and be a mean looking heel.
And to anyone getting butthurt, looks matter in Entertainment. They just do. Dems the facts. Buts its not always absolute. Take Drew McKintire (sp?). Dude was handsome (hoNomo), head full of hair, and a great physique and we all know how that tuened out.

He looks like he works in an office or something. That's one of the reasons why he wasn't a top guy. He looked way better in 2005. Age has not been kind to him. His hair began receding in 2008 when he no longer spiked it. He looks better without the spray tan and without the really bright yellow hair dye. If he had went to trunks in 2003 with the short hair, I think he would have done better. Now? that ship has long sailed.

Finn had more hair in his NOAH/New Japan days. He actually looked good in that one NXT show where he pasted it back like Punk, if he shaved his Orton beard and did that with his hair, he would look better but it really makes no difference since he's doing just fine and is over in NXT (why fix what's not broken?)
