MANDELA EFFECT: Thrall's Undercut

This is something that has my mind absolutely spinning whenever I remember it, but I could have sworn there was a lot of promotional artwork featuring Thrall with an undercut for Warlords of Draenor. Like he was having a mid-life crisis and was trying to feel the youth and vigour of the glory days of old Warcraft, which is sort of what Warlords of Draenor was about anyway.

But for whatever reason this model and the artwork is nowhere to be found on a cursory google search! Am I nuts? Did I just imagine they gave Thrall the Macklemore hair? Is this an example of the MANDELA EFFECT in action?

Surely someone else remembers this??

I remember Thrall with an undercut, but his last name was Berenstein, not Berenstain.

The closest I remember is the top knot:

on my LIFE they did this to thrall! That is the EXACT hair he had!

Ok now I KNOW they must’ve messed with this cos in the Garrosh cinematic where Thrall offs him he has a shaved head, no topknot! So we’ve already established precedent for retconning hairstyles… did they retcon the UNDERCUT???

I had to google Macklemore. I think you are talking about the twin braid hair style which he used to have. It is a Thrall Batttlecry wallpaper by Wei Wang that I found.

He did also sport a shaved head for a while, all through Cataclysm, I believe. I remember seeing it on Kezan, while working with him.

He had a top knot like Adomirak pointed out. But also a buzzcut in Warlords, utter then those he has always had the full head of hair with braids

This isn’t an undercut, but the severe widow’s peak might trick the eye.

Ah, so an undercut is just a fade >.>

Yeah, Thrall never had a fade.

I had to google what an undercut looks like. Thrall never had one.

You know how sometimes, a culture will start a trend, then years later, the dominate culture in the area will notice the trend, adopt it, and then act like they invented it?

That’s why there are two names for this haircut.

Man these kids acting like the undercut itself is an instance of the Mandella Effect got me convinced the Thrall undercut is true. I know Blizz must have the concept art hidden in a vault somewhere! Must’ve paid some firm to downgrade the search results! I’m not gonna let this one lie!

BRIEF ASIDE: you know back in the day I remember people roasting undercuts saying they were the “sideways mullet”

That’s because they don’t understand the mullet. Back in the 80s, mullets opened doors for people. Seriously, people would hire you based on having a mullet, assuming that they cared what they looked like (lmao), and were willing to be clean and presentable. Undercuts never held that raw hair power.
