 No, not that naked wrestler. I'm talking about wrestlers -- rather, "superstars" -- losing their ring gear over the last few months. Best example I can think of is Randy Orton, who now goes without wrist tape (excluding tonight). He also dropped his elbow pads a few years back. Edge, too. Lost his wrist tape, lost his shiny trench coat. What's next, losing his pants? Don't cue up the image of him in Trevor Murdoch's gear. I beg you. I'm wondering why this is happening all of a sudden. I remember when Shawn Michaels first stopped wearing his entrance attire, how disappointing it was. The sparkly costumes were part of his style and personality, all of which went away as soon as he started shearing the sleeves off his T-shirts. There is a lot of character invested into some assless chaps or an overcoat, and I'm sorry WWE is making its guys generic shills trying to sell their products. |

I agree about Michaels, I think it was when he started wearing the pants that they gave up on the entrance gear because they were designed to look like his old chaps on top of his tights so his shiny jackets etc didn't work with it any more.
Orton needs to start wearing his wrist tape full time again please, he looks awful without it.
Edge needs to go back to his Rated R gear because everything he's worn since his return has looked very bad in comparison.
I'm glad Ryder lost the one legged thing, he looked so so bad in them. At least now he's at least trying not to look like a complete jobber.
Regal went through a phase of wearing a singlet. I'm glad that didn't last, he looked a bit silly.

Cody's usage of wearing only trunks and boots make him stand out.

Does it make this thread even greater that his name is Droopy?

Kane from full body attire to just the long tights, he also added elbow pads.
Shelton Benjamin went from the traditional singlet to short trunks.
The Miz from whatever that was he wore down to wrestling trunks.
Triple H from long tights to wrestling trunks.
Christian from long tights and a shirt, to a long singlet, down to full wrestling tights.

Christian from long tights and a shirt, to a long singlet, down to full wrestling tights. I'll do you one better. Christian in WWE: Long-sleeve puffy shirt, long tights, long hair. Short-sleeve solid shirt, long tights, long hair. Short-sleeve mesh shirt, long tights, long hair. Long singlet, long hair. Long tights, short hair. I'm shocked he isn't in trunks with a buzzcut like Val Venis by now. |

When Jericho first switched from tights to trunks, I thought he looked so goofy and didn't like it very much. Now when I see old footage/pictures of him with tights on, I realize how much the trunks does for his character. The trunks make him loom more mature and serious, while the tights make him look more youthful and fun. Exactly like Jericho use to be the "fun" guy, and now he's the serious guy. If it was Jericho's idea for him to switch to trunks (which I'd assume was) he's even more of a wrestling genius than I thought. And how about Punk going from long hair, to no hair? Surprised that hasn't been mentioned yet. |
