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.

The original trio reunited at ''WCW [=Starrcade=] 1999'', adding Leia Meow, formerly Wrestling/{{ECW}} valet Wrestling/KimonaWanalaya, as their cheerleader. The reunion was short-lived.
