Wrestlers tend to be some of the worst dressed people that ever lived. And sometimes they try and get the look spot on. I thought I'd do a thread based on wrestlers fashion throughout the years. And maybe give an idea behind why they picked that particular look. (thread)
We'll start off with the Ultimate Hellwig. A cracking stonewash denim jacket with the tanktop that I imagine is either a hair metal band or a gym he's promoting. The sunglasses complete the look, since it covers the part of the face which he tends to paint. 5 star mullet, too.
This isnt just limited to outside the ring, because the 90s were a hardtime for those 80s guys. Heading in their 40s, a lot of them wanted to update their look. So Sting decided to wrestle in baggy jeans, making his red boots look like tap dancing shoes.
Speaking of a midlife crisis, Big Mark took his association for red hot 2001 hit makers Limp Bizkit a bit over the top, by occassionally wearing his cap backwards and doing the crossed arm business those Nu Metal losers used to do. "Put the grey washing up gloves back on" I cried
Big Man's brother Glenn got in on the act also. Kane arriving to the arena in Harchester United's training kit was something you just didnt expect in the build up to WWF In Your House Judgement Day. This is a man where it was newsworthy if he put another sleeve on his red jumper.
Big Show went through a few different outfits in early 2000 in an effort to look less like a big fat goth. This was the one I picked because he looks like he was entering Big Brother on launch night.

"Hi I'm Paul. I had trials with Arsenal and I would have sex in the house!"
For those of us who watched the 90s, seeing Jesus Boy Kid Shawn Michaels turn up for that second run in 2002 was a massive shock. Last time we saw him he was pilled up and humping Vince's face on Raw. Now he's got his Nokia 3310 on his belt and wearing the Born Again starter kit.
Bret had usually remained consistent. What worked for him was jean shorts and a t-shirt. That lasted about 3 decades for him. On this one off episode of Raw, he came out for commetary dressed like John Parrott. It suits him, no doubt, but it was out of the ordinary for him.
HHH has had some horrible outfits over the years. I always thought he looked like a fat baby when he was unshaved and wore a suit. But I'm going to go with Gothic H in the Corporate Ministry. The big cross from River Island was a nice touch.
Jake Roberts UK outfit. The scoungers tracksuit. He's actually on his way to court for animal cruelty in this photo. He'd run off with his "managers" pension book in the next couple of hours. A great man, and quite a dresser.
Disco Inferno became the worst person to wear a Man United shirt since William Prunier on an episode of Thunder in 2000. Alex Ferguson then announce the following season would be his last at Old Trafford. Coincidence?
Crowbar isnt wearing a shirt here, but look closer. That's right. He didnt have abs. So grew his chest hair out and shaved abs into them. You're not fooling me Crowbar.
"Get the shopping in Dave." Bum bag, WWF promotional shirt, jogging bottoms. This is how you want to do your Christmas shopping. My favourite outfit out of the lot. The braids make it.
Kevin Nash only ever had one bad look and its the "not wearing the WWE/AEW world title in 2020" look.But he did mix and match a bit much with this gear. Checky pants. Flip flops, bum bag and a shirt of the person recently fired is such a Kevin Nash look its worth mentioning again
Scott Hall in his G-Unit tracksuit after falling off the wagon is a cry for him DDP may have even ignored. Fucking G-Unit.
Hulk Hogan in baggy jeans, a beanie hat, a flannel shirt and trainers is the LOOK. Shame Terry Bollea is wearing it, but this is a man who has just found out the NBC deal is a lock and he better update that weightlifting belt and bandana shit he's had going on since 1982.
