Wasn't the best between GMG bearded bozo Vs the Senior's Fu Manchu?? Neither won. Could've Paulie make them both have to shave it off...??? Why don't discovery set it up for chartity... That Senior lose his mustache, and the bearded bozo from TX have to clean-up an Bathe for once in his life..
They already tried to get Senior to shave off his mustache, when they went to St. Jude's Children's Hospital and Senior was shaving guy's heads for charity. Somebody brought up the idea (I think it was Rick) and Senior just glared at him like he'd farted in church. He couldn't shave his head either, because the hair-transplant scars would show.
Besides, the wailing of dying babies* reminds him of the sound Cody made when Senior told him he wasn't getting the bike Senior and he had built together (in the episode titled; "Cody's Bike").
That ridiculous mustache (which is more beard than 'stache, to be honest) is like when Senior kept referring to his feet as "size 12s." Obviously size seems overly significant to him (almost like he's compensating for something, y'think?)
*He's saving their skins for a special, buttery-soft leather jacket he's having made for the lawyer who saved HIS skin when Senior was busted for the $50,000 "dentist appointments."

In one of the pre build-off episodes, Aaron announced he would shave his beard if GM lost. But I think he was only directing it at JJ and Sr. The challenge of the contest wasn't beating only some guys. The challenge was to beat the defending champ. Hence the "Revenge".

Frankly, this build off was bogus, anyway. Obviously Piligian dreamed it up for the cancellation of AC (notice he personally used the setup for his only direct shot at Paulie in the show's history. Makes you wonder how long he'd been waiting for that).
Now that it's all over, I was really disappointed at the lack of respect and just plain civility, which I also see as a product of Piligian and the producer's influence. Fans of the original "Biker Build-off" would probably have preferred to see what Kendall Johnson (one of my all-time favorites, and a nice guy), Eddie Trotta, Matt Hotch, Rick Fairless, Paul Yaffe, Roger Goldhammer, Chica, Keino or Mike Metzger would have come up with.
There would have been much more of the ride to Vegas and the builders discussing the good points of each others' creations, rather than endless "confessional" segments with Senior, JJ or either of the GM bozos beating their chests and crowing about their vaunted "superiority" over bike builders they didn't know and bikes they'd never seen. A little good-natured ribbing - a tradition of BBO - would have gone a long way, especially compared to Jesse's pouting, whining and excuses.
In following the format and traditions of the original Biker Build-off (a Discovery channel program, after all), I think PJD came closest to capturing the spirit of it, and their motorcycle the only one that wouldn't have been laughed off the stage in the original show.
Can anyone imagine Matt Hotch showing up with an old Knucklehead Harley ("but it has a rare transmission!"), scraping the rust off, slapping a bunch of aftermarket parts on it and acting like one of those chicks on "The Price Is Right," waving jazz-hands in front of it while crowing: "ta-daaaa!" or Kendall Johnson whining; "I need another month, and I'm going to have to call in Cory and Arlen Ness to finish it for me, because I have more talent in my hands and just sheer knowledge than anyone who ever lived?"
They should have just combined it with a "Miss America" pageant, where the contestants would slap together mopeds while wearing bikinis. At least we'd have seen something interesting, without as much drama or divas.
