From colorful outfits to distinctive hairstyles and unforgettable facial expressions, classic wrestling had plenty of instantly recognizable looks. Which wrestler had the most iconic appearance? Was it the costume, body language, makeup, hairstyle, or simply the character behind the look?

I’d go with The Undertaker. The dark hat, coat, gloves, and slow entrance created a look that was instantly recognizable. Even people who didn’t regularly watch wrestling could probably identify him. His appearance also matched his character so well that changing any major part of it would have felt strange.

The Undertaker’s look is hard to beat for me. The dark coat, hat, gloves, and intimidating presence created a character you could recognize instantly. Hulk Hogan, Sting, and Ric Flair had memorable styles too, but The Undertaker’s appearance evolved over the years while keeping the same unmistakable identity.
