Beardly Beloved

Beards! They're everywhere in profession wrestling (well, almost). There was a time when beards were worn only by heels (to connote wildness or a sinister, savage nature), but nowadays, even baby faces are growing their facial hair. I guess it's because a beard or even a five o'clock shadow makes you look more masculine and tough. Some wrestlers who don't grow out their facial hair tend to look boyish and wholesome, even when they're not (see Roderick Strong or Eddie Edwards). Here are two wrestlers who grew beards after they gave their wrestling personas a reboot. First up, Matt Sydal (WWE's Evan Bourne).

Here's what he looked like before...

Next is British wrestler Brandon T (aka Brendon Fraser) who used to be part of WWE's developmental territory FCW (now called NXT) where he was called Kenneth Cameron and who now wrestles for TNA Impact as Bram.

This is what he looked like back in the UK when he was wrestling under the names Brandon T, Brendon Fraser, and Tom Savage.

So what do you think of Matt and Brandon T's beards and moustaches? Leave your comments in the Comments section below.
