Jim Cornette on Wrestlers Wearing Face Paint 

And the green mist!

You're probably thinking of the luchador Fray Tormenta ("Friar Storm") a priest who wrestled for decades to financially support his orphanage. He retired from wrestling in 2011 but still wears his luchador mask while performing his duties as a priest.

My old teacher

George the Animal Steel was a teacher.

@@rattypumpkin6183 Possibly, but I heard about that back in the late 1960's.

I mean who wears face paint nowadays in WWE right now lol

@@vincentkennedymcmahon50 only one I can think of is finn balor when he becomes the demon but that's it

The Missing Link, the Blue Meanie(not really a face paint, but paint on his face)

Powers of Pain. Warlord and Barbarian.

Kabuki

Mr. Pogo, Insane Clown Posse

Sensational Sherri

I preferred 'The 7-11 Express' myself.

Quik E Mart Express. ...

that would not fly today lol. it was a different time. rip roddy piper

Another one was HHH and I think some of dx did blackface when they were mocking the nation of domination.

Brock on?

The eye thing he does is dope. Skilled artist.

Most wrestlers do there own face paint

Finn Balor is on another level

I don't know if ever saw him live. Allow me to tell you that you are correct. He's definitely one of the greatest gimmicks. He was incredibly scary. As a kid I saw him a few times and when he got close to the crowd the kids would scream in fear.

Genuinely intimidating and scary just to look at on the telly

One of the funniest things I ever saw in wrestling was Kamala being chased around the outside of the ring by George "The Animal" Steele and in a panic, mimicking Steele's movements to his handler, Kim Chee. (Or maybe the handler was Friday.)

I like Balor's paint more than Jeff's because one I like his style better, and two the fact that he uses it only on big occasions makes it more special. But Jeff is basically the king of face paint at this point.

@@frale_2392 would that make sting the God? Or one of the gods of wrestling face paint?

$80!!!??? Do you get a reach-around?

That's way too much money for a guy like Sting who has made a lot of money from his career. Was this recent? Anything over 50 is asking way too much. I'd think 40 would be fair. 20 might be too cheap.

Pics with Kane and Shawn Michaels when they appeared at Florida Supercon were the same price or more money when they appeared. Sting's appearance was I think 3 - 5 years ago. It was after his Wrestlemania match against Triple H. Kane was around that same price but that was the high res photo and when he was in the active WWE roster. Shawn Michaels was at least $100. That was 4 years ago after he cut his hair. Pics with celebs at Megacon Orlando are more money. Since they added plexiglass due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I'm waiting until they're taken down. Ones in the $20 - $50 range were retired wrestlers - Ted Dibiase, Greg the Hammer Valentine, Brutus the Barber Beefcake, Raven, and Kevin Nash. Scott Steiner wasn't retired but he was around that price range. I think Rikishi and Gangrel were as well. So were APA.

No, he made his trademark howl, put his arm around me, and that was that.

And Rey Mysterio was at Florida Supercon once. He was also $40 - $50. That was when he was active in the WWE roster. Teddy Long was also that price. Virgil gave me a free autograph once. Sometimes, you can get a free pic or autograph when none of the convention volunteers or the celeb's agent is near the celeb.

best tag team to come out of BELLevelle, Illionis!

I loved the Painting in Dorian Grey's attic reference on Jerikishi

No-one under 250 years old will know what you mean

I know who Oscar Wilde is....

League of extraordinary gentlemen brought me here.

@@IainCiplinski Yes, because books are immediately burned and never reprinted after reading.

You can't type a correct sentence if your life depended on it.

@@OmegaRedFan Pray tell, where was I led astray in my construction of an English sentence? Was it the lack of punctuation -- oft considered but a formality in the modern colloquial sociolinguistic sphere? Naw for real dude what did I say wrong lmao

Shut up

It still does down in mexico. AAA is actually doing something really cool right now where they are doing a tournament that the loser actually advances, and the loser of the final match has to unmask. Lots of legends in it and everything.

@@TheMadvillainy in Mexico I know but not in America.

well they are a bunch of clowns

Darby, Sting... Only 2 I can think of. Ortiz/Santana just started wearing paint a few months ago. So 4? Am I forgetting anyone else? EDIT: Just thought about Dustin Rhodes, although he's not fully active, Thunda Rosa and Kris Statlander. So maybe 7 in a company of 100+ talent? I can see that being a bit overkill

Need more factions.-AEW

It’s like less than 10 wrestlers lol

@@Hizzoner21 Darby, sting, Santana, Ortiz, statlander, Rosa, malichai, Dustin, Jericho (sometimes), danhausen, Jeff Hardy (soon), Penta(paint + mask), Luther, abbadon

Motley Crue did it for awhile.

Before he became "The Crow", yes.

I definitely think WCW missed an opportunity to have a money tree by not having him go back to surfer sting while they had ultimate warrior in the company and having a bladerunners reunion.

His face paint was definitely the best by far with the incredible detail it was significant to his gimmick.

His bone structure suits it. Especially the crow makeup with his stone expression.

It does not matter what you thought

You're not important

Huh how?

Some of it tends to smear these days
