Why Did Shawn Michaels change his attire

[George Harrison]

I Mean is just like If Ric Flair or stone cold changed their attires, that was one of his trademarks does anyone know why he stoped wearing the tights?

[dxfan13]

i always thought he had to wear his knee braces underneath the pants and im sure the pants are more comfortable

[heenanfamily]

actually, back when the change was made, I remember Michaels stating that he thought that the Tights were going out of style and he wanted to stay fresh.

He also probably stopped training as much and had no muscle definition in his legs therefore switching from tights to baggy pants so his stick legs wouldnt show. Just my guess.

I for one loved the tights and really only liked the pants he wore at Mania 23 of all the pants he wears now...

Yes, that is the reason.

Shawn had to accommodate his knee brace(s) and the older tights weren't comfortable for him, so he switched to something looser.

[chrishustle]

i miss the tights but i like the pants he wore at no way out 2008 and the ones he wore at GAB

[chumped]

I definitely miss the tights.

[Dyamez]

yeah, i remember him stating that he thought he had to lose the tights as he aged or something.. it would also be logical if you don't want people to see the knee braces

[PhoeniX™: Valoween]

Me too, dark knight.

I loved his 2003 look, with the white wrist tape and black tights.

[Quanthor]

I loved the tights, I'm not too fond of the holy pants.

Couldn't he have just wore the knee brace over the tights?

[Gore]

It probaby had something to do with the fact that he's 40 something, and did't think it was right to have broken hearts on his attire anymore.

I just wish he kept the designs on the pants

Well yeah, but it would look really bulky and weird. You know the braces Austin used to wear on both knees? Imagine stretching tights over them.


HBK and Rey both switched to baggys pants for the same reason, bulky braces and pads.

[Mr. McCluer]

i think its becuase of his knee braces

Not under the tights, over top of the tights.

No because he still has broken hearts on his attire.

He ran out of gauze.
