So, up until the 90s, Hulk generally bleached his brows I suppose.. What a difference... Sure, he was naturally aging, but this was the huge difference for me and I legit have an issue with it. Thoughts? preferences?

The bleached eyebrows made him look like he had none, and in some way that seems unnatural so you struggle to see the part of his eyebrows that were still dark.
Later on, he stopped bleaching them and just saved you the visual struggle.
I thought that was nice of him.

He wanted them all white. All white everything.

Dark eyebrows Hogan always seemed so bizarre to me after a childhood of matches and imagery of bleached eyebrows Hogan. I think it's an often understated but really a big factor of why post-80's Hogan looked so weird to so many long time fans on top of his continual weight loss.

I actually preferred dark eyebrows Hogan but I started watching in 1991 and that’s the Hogan that I was familiar with, I always found it really weird getting the older tapes and blonde eyebrows Hogan was around because he looked sooo different but as a kid I never realised why.

It was the change in 'roids. That's why the eyebrow color changed.

I didn't mind the change. I think the issue was it came with other changes, mainly him losing some muscle mass, so that combined with another noticeable change only made the transformation stick out even more.

Can anyone photoshop some bleached eyebrows on a 90s Hogan pic and see if it helps?

To be honest I thought he looked older in the 80's, but I realise thats because he had his hairline visible where in the 90's he wore the bandana

It took me way too long to realize that this is why '80s and '90s Hogan looked like two different people, facially.

I could never figure out why he looked so different in the 90s until someone here pointed it out like a year ago. As a kid, I thought it might have been a totally different guy playing King Kong Bundy.

He looks about 10 years older in the first picture.
The eyebrows, the yellow wrist bands instead of the white wrist tape and his skinny frame all contribute to why The Hulkster looked so different in WCW.

I also thought that when he changed his eyebrow color it was the same time he cut down on roids, so not only was the color different, it was less caveman brow.
