WWE Universe has a special liking for superstars with unconventional personas. Some wear face masks, while others have intimidating in-ring entrances, creating a lasting impression.
In a similar vein, a host of superstars have used face paint to complement their gimmicks and attire. Wrestlers like the late Doink the Clown, Papa Shango, and Boogeyman have looked daunting with face paint, creating immense traction with the WWE Universe.
In this article, we look at the five most iconic WWE Superstars with face paint who have carved a special connection with fans:
Special Mention: WWE Hall of Famers – The Legion of Doom
The Legion of Doom was arguably one of the greatest tag teams in WWE history. They dominated the roster with huge muscles and frightening ring attire.
The former two-time tag team champions were known for their tribal face paint, which gave them an intimidating look. Their opponents thought twice before messing with them, making The Legion of Doom a force to be reckoned with.
#5. WWE Hall of Famer – The Ultimate Warrior
WWE Hall of Famer, the late Ultimate Warrior, was a dominant force during the late 80s and early 90s. His energy during in-ring entrances lifted fans to another level.
Apart from his energetic entrances, the former WWE Champion was famous for his colorful warrior face paint, which matched his ring attire. His feuds with legends like Hulk Hogan, the late Randy Savage, and The Undertaker were truly memorable.
#4. Former WWE Superstar – Goldust
Former WWE Superstar Goldust has bedazzled fans with his many bizarre antics. With a platinum blonde wig, sleek latex, and gobs of gold face paint, no wonder he got the moniker of 'The Bizarre One.' The former three-time Intercontinental Champion pushed the envelope during his time in WWE.
In the mid-90s, Goldust had memorable feuds with Triple H, Roddy 'Rowdy' Piper, and The Undertaker. Each time he stepped into the ring, it was a spectacle.
#3. WWE Hall of Famer – Sting
Few wrestlers have been as successful as Sting. He's truly one of the greats of this business.
Throughout the 90s and early 2000s, Sting single-handedly carried WCW on his shoulders. During his WWE run, Sting feuded with The Authority and Seth Rollins. The Hall of Famer had an epic clash with Triple H at WrestleMania 31.
During Sting's heyday, his black and white face paint complemented his on-screen character of the silent vigilante, making him the complete package. To date, The Stinger continues to weave magic as an AEW star.
#2. Former WWE Superstar – Jeff Hardy
Jeff Hardy punched above his weight every time he stepped into a WWE ring.
The Charismatic Enigma has been an incredible in-ring competitor. His hauntingly beautiful face paint added meat to his on-screen character. A testament to the risks he takes, Jeff soared to become a three-time world champion, five-time Intercontinental Champion, and eight-time tag team champion.
Unfortunately, Jeff was recently released from WWE, much to the dismay of fans.
#1. WWE Superstar – 'The Demon' Finn Balor
Every time Finn Balor enters his demon avatar, things get ugly for his opponents.
With awe-inspiring face paint and demon designs on his body, Balor intimidates his opponents before the match even begins. The Demon became the inaugural Universal Champion after beating Seth Rollins at SummerSlam 2016.
The Demon has had memorable feuds over the years with the likes of Bray Wyatt and Bobby Lashley. The Demon's latest feud was with the reigning Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
