Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.


* BadassMustache: Connected to his beard, most of the time and seemingly the only hair on him he groomed with any regularity.

* LampshadeHanging: During a match with Gary Vallon one of the commentators said the only proper opponents to pit against Pampero were people just coming into the business or the top man of the territory, on the basis he was bound to seriously hurt somebody. It ended up going about three minutes in what they called the longest match they had ever seen him in.
