6 WWE Superstars whose careers took off after they changed their look drastically

#4 Duane Gill

Duane Gill and Gillberg

During the Attitude Era, it was par for the course for the World Wrestling Federation (then WWF, now WWE) and their arch-rivals, World Championship Wrestling (WCW) to take shots at each other and even openly ridicule one another on their programming. While WCW made fun of the likes of Jim Ross among others, WWE's best assault was that on the character of WCW star Goldberg who, at the time, was running through the competition like a knife through butter and establishing himself as their most prominent name.

WWE countered that by creating a mock character by the name of 'Gillberg', a weedy-looking, slim man who dressed in Goldberg's 'outfit', but rarely managed to get as far as the entrance ramp without damaging himself. The man tasked with playing this character was Duane Gill, a relatively little-known enhancement talent who worked in WWE throughout the 1980s and early 1990s - albeit with long, blonde hair! Gill would invariably lose his matches, the audience barely giving him a second thought.

His hair would be cut off, though, and Gill 'repackaged' as Gillberg - a star that WWE - and likely WCW - fans remember with fondness and amusement.
