Not exactly a case of gimmick, but Hogan in the Assault on Devil's Island film just feels like a different guy: "I was gonna be Nicolas Cage's stunt double in Con Air, brother!" i'm getting more of a Mel Gibson in "Braveheart" vibe

The weird thing about the Steiner change, is was that it was more gradual than people realized. Scott was getting extremely jacked starting around '96. He had even cut the mullet and grown the goatee while being managed by Ted DiBiase. Still...you put a 1990 pic of Scott next to the 2000 Scott ... Yeah, by mid 1997, he's basically Big Poppa Pump cosplaying as his younger self.

Was he off TV for a little while and decided it would be a good change, or literally looked like this one week, blonde the next? Edit: Apparently he debuted the blonde look the night after Superbrawl.

In terms of more recent ones, it absolutely floored me to learn Sarah Logan and Mary Dobson were the same person.

I know I've mentioned it before here, but after watching WCW in 1993 I drifted away and didn't have the chance to catch up until the second half of 1997. So, lots of visual dissonance even in just those four years. That's Sting? That's Hogan? That's Stunning Steve? That's BAGWELL?

Papa Shango after he became Kama, and The Godfather gimmick was even more of a big departure from when I first saw him in the WWF as Shango. I can't help but wonder what a voodoo pimp would have been like. You don't have to imagine... they basically did it in Lollipop Chainsaw with the boss Josey

"What about me? What about..." all the more so when you consider changing clothes and facial expressions was all it took, didn't even have to get a haircut.

More my dad than me but when I found out he was Dusty Rhodes son and told my dad he refused to believe it could be the same person. Obviously, When he started having longer matches and the paint wore off and he introduced his linage to the character this changed.

Three pages in and not a single mention of this one? I could mention his days as one half of the Hollywood Blondes, but you could see that it was the same guy with the facial hair. However, Austin with long hair is a far cry from what he know him as. Hell, long hair and clean-shaven, or even short hair and clean-shaven, you wouldn't think it's the same guy as Stone Cold.

I had no idea Johnny Stamboli was Rellik (that's Killer spelled backwards) until years later. The reverse of this, I thought Johnny Stamboli and Johnny Swinger were the same guy until, like, last year.
