Brothers in Paint: 10 best face painted wrestlers of all time

#3 The Ultimate Warrior

Second, he painted his face with a distinctive winged design, meant to evoke both a bird of prey and the Superman symbol. Ultimate Warrior was a superhero long before the days of John Cena, always overcoming the odds and lifting his foes with his patented Gorilla Press Slam.
