Haha, a former writer for WWE actually mentioned it for Rusev.

http://kevineckwrestling.sportsblog.com/posts/2391983/i-m-always-right--except-when-i-m-wrong--what-my-initial-thoughts-were-on-tensai-and-rusev.html

"When the creative team was shown clips of Rusev matches and promos from NXT so that we could start working on ideas for him when he was called up to the main roster, I and several other members of the team burst out laughing.

With his loincloth-type ring attire, over-the-top facial expressions, wild hair and primal screams, the guy was unintentionally hilarious. This was a heel character straight out of the 1970's that would never work today, I thought.

...

It turned out that some people above my pay grade saw some of the same flaws with Rusev's presentation that I and others on the creative team did. Before Rusev made his WWE debut, his ring attire was changed and he was instructed to tone down the facial expressions and screaming and to wet his hair so that it didn't look look so wild."

I've also read it gets REALLY hot under the lights and stuff, and wrestlers try to keep a little bit cool that way. I don't like the wet-hair look, but it does make it oddly satisfying when the match goes on a while and their hair gets increasingly floofy (Seth ends up looking like a rumpled cat, I love it).

Yeah, that makes sense.

No one's hair will ever outdo Ziggler's. It's been awhile since I've really noticed it (Distracted by the roots maybe) but mah gawd it used to be hilarious to watch.
