Mullet Challenge - 2010

Now you may remember a post I did a few weeks ago on the subject of mullets and disagreeing with Sarah of Smart Bitches on what exactly constitutes a mullet. Pictures were included.

Not long after that Sarah emailed me asking if Canadian men wore mullets (some do.....shudder) and "challenging" me to a Mullet -off between American mullets and Canadian mullets. Never one to back down from a challenge, I picked up her gauntlet and spent time - time which I will never get back - seeking out some good Canadian mullets

Next up was how to pick a winner and loser - and what it would cost the loser. Sarah came up with a diabolical plan for the loser - truly, evilly diabolical. Since we will both be at the RT convention and the RWA conference, the loser has to buy the winner a drink at both. Now you are thinking - that doesn't sound too diabolical to me? But that was only the beginning for Smart Bitch Sarah. You see - while we are enjoying our drinks, the loser also has to wear this!!!!

Mullet Wig

I'm not sure if that includes the shirt and undershirt or not.

So with that on the line, and bleach in hand for cleaning the eyeballs later, I found some Most Excellent Canadian Mullets.


This first one is Wendel Clark - former Captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Ron would be horrified to know that I put up a picture of a Leaf to be mocked and judged - but I was challenged!!

Now Wendel isn't the only captain of an NHL team to make the millieux of mullets wall of fame. Mario Lemieux, former captain and now part owner of the Pittsburg Penguins is also in this Challenge.













And here we have yet another NHL captain who dares to sport a mullet. Joe Thornton of the San Jose Sharks is yet another member of the Canadian Mullet Wearing cast. He's also a local guy so I had to include him!













And last - but not least - of our NHL wearing captains is probably the most famous hockey player in the world. Yes, even The Great One - none other than Wayne Gretzky sported this most infamous of hair styles.






And maybe the reason why some of the players wore mullets is because they looked up to their coaches so much. Barry Melrose, former coach of the Los Angeles Kings and Tampa Bay Lightning wore such a mullet that can't be beat!








And just in case you think I could only come up with hockey players, there is another kind of hero on blades who sported this style that words cannot express.

Kurt Browning was and still is, a very popular figure skater up here. Now he has almost no hair, but in his day, he too 'wore the mullet'.











Now this is one of my BEST finds! Not only is skater Elvis Stoyko wearing a mullet, he's also wearing very shiny pants and tops. I may be biased, but I think this may top anything Sarah can find!!














And finally, to round out my Mullet Wearing Canadian Guys, we have - the Wet, Greasy Mullet as seen in this picture of WWE wrestler, Brett, the Hitman Heart - wearing PINK.














So this it. This does it for my list. I've answered Sarah's Mullet Challenge - 2010. Hopefully this list will be deemed the best so I won't have to sit in a bar for 2 hours wearing a Mullet Wig and possibly a plaid lumber jack shirt.

So drop by Smart Bitches to check out her millieux of mullets collection and see who did the best and vote for the best (or worst - I'm not really sure what to call it)

Be sure to vote in the poll on the right.
