Ric Flair did have some rockstar charm to him, with his long hair and blue eyes. It kinda works and makes sense. It's not like he's Robert Gibson or anything.

 

People find Balor crazy good looking, but besides the ridiculously ripped body he's just average.

 

Definitely agree with Flair in regards to his charm and charisma. I wouldn't say he was the most handsome dude, but he certainly carried himself well.

My original post:

 

Ricky Morton, Robert Gibson, Shawn Michaels, Edge, etc. are what I call "wrestling pretty." Translation: they're butt-fucking-ugly in any other walk of life, but "pretty" when graded on a wrestling curve.

 

Randy Orton is average at best looks-wise in the "real world." Watch him in his film roles against even marginal Hollywood stars and it becomes obvious.

 

Finn is one of the true legitimately swoon-worthy wrestlers. (I'm not gay either, but handsome is handsome, and that man is handsome.)

 

He's actually average looking, when you look past the incredibly ripped body. In terms of having a good looking face, Orton, McIntyre and Reigns smoke him out of the water, for instance.

I cannot believe two straight men are arguing about this, but here goes...

 

Orton and McIntyre? You're not serious, are you?

 

Reigns I can kinda see.

 

But my comment about Finn has nothing to do with his body - the man has a handsome/cute face.

Nothing wrong with that my dude, sometimes it works for a good laugh. I mean, at least it isn't horrible like people making twitter accounts for female wrestlers' buttocks.

 

But hey, McIntyre is a good looking man. Tall with a very good physique, and was able to pull the pretty-boy look in his first run and the rugged manly man look in his current one. Orton was also a stud circa 2007. The fact that he carried himself like the best thing on the planet helped him get some fans, and that surely counts for something in terms of attractiveness.

 

Finn Balor I can see people saying he's cute and all, but it's just that he's so... bland. He is a very nice guy (of the legit kind I hope) and his interactions with Bayley surely did a lot to get him lots of fans, but in terms of looks I just don't see his charm.

I remember even the most popular girls at my school talking Kidman on Tuesday mornings back in the day.

 

I posted something a few months ago stating that Billy Kidman was a heart throb back-in-the-day, he responded and downplayed the whole thing. Only a true playa would do that. But yes, I agree, I knew women (girls at the time of course) who would NOT shut up about him.

My wife's favourite is The Rock, and obviously that is one dude whose handsomeness transcends pro wrestling. There is no possible way to reasonably claim that he isn't Movie Star Handsome.

 

In terms of real life, it was always fun to see the reaction that women had to Zeus when he was in Osaka Pro. He has an undeniable presence in person. There were more than a few drop dead gorgeous women who came to the shows just hoping for a chance to meet him.

 

Bryan Danielson is small and pale and kind of puppy-dog goofy looking, but I have seen boisterous Indy crowds in Vancouver fall silent when he takes his shirt off. His body iwas truly beautiful up close, in person, in those days. I assume it still is. That he is a kind and genuine person only makes him more attractive.

 

And, I know this will be a controversial opinion, but I think Tinieblas Jr has the best-looking mask in all of Pro Wrestling.

An ex thought HBK was better looking in 2006 than 1996. So did my sister. Neither were wrestling fans beyond watching it because I had the remote, so that "HBK is only good looking by wrestling standards" line earlier can be thrown out.

 

My girlfriend has a thing for the Rock, Rollins, and (most of all) Ambrose.

 

Weirdest was my mother's preferences. She thought Jericho was one of the cutest guys on all of TV in 1998, which I can see, but then she'd be all about the Undertaker...buy only when he was wearing sunglasses.
