What's the point of the leap frog?

I don't see the embarassment though. They don't shave their head completely. They just buzz it. I think the modern times make it stupid. As far as modern society goes, it's more "embarassing" to have long bleached blonde hair than it is to receive a buzz cut.

Which bring me onto another point, wtf is it with wrestlers and long hair?

In the 80's just about everyone had it, these days its not as bad but still quite a few sport the long hair look. I suppose it cna have some advantages in actually working in the ring, blading for example can be disguised easier by a guy with long hair as opposed to short. Also some moves like the tombstone, you see the hair impacting the mat and subconciously you think its their actual head, guys with shor hair it sometimes is very obvious they don't hit.


I don't think any of the reasons above apply as to why they have it though, or possibly they do i dunno, i cant see it as a style choice seeing as the vast majority had it.

You aren't running against your will. It's just as advantagous for you to hit the ropes and gain momentum for potential offense as it it for him to send you across the ring for the same reasons.

Pretty common spot right there.

Long hair hides your calls. Hard to see my lips move if both of our faces are coverd in hair.

There are exceptions to this rule, but yeah.
