Say Cheese!

If, like me, you grew up on magazines like Pro Wrestling Illustrated in the 1970s, you may recall how the wrestlers used to scowl or look deadly serious in their posed portraits. Maybe they thought that smiling for the camera made them look weak or vulnerable. Not anymore. These days everyone smiles -- heels, jobbers, even referees! Check out the pics below to see what I mean.
