Worst Ring Attire From 1998-Now

Recommended Posts

OK...just because I'm waiting for Smackdown spoilers to come up to see what I should be prepared for...I was wondering...in your opinion...who has had the worst ring attire in the past 5 years...this is starting from January of 1998 to now.

 

Well...for me...S&M Kane (the current one) looks...weird. How much are they gonna take off of him...he WAS suppossed to be a burn victim, you know....

 

Then there's Queer HHH...PURPLE? Unless it's a dark purple that highlights black, it don't work Levesque. You're not Lord Of Darkness Undertaker.

 

Finally, to me...I never liked the Kurt Angle singlets with the Superman style A on the front. Any of the three...but the pinstripe one (as seen in Summerslam 2002) was the worst in my opinion. The other two were just...bland...compared to his other attire that he's had.

 

What do you people think?

 

EDIT: Add Jeff Jarrett's "NWA" attire from 1998 into that as well. That just looked...UGH!

La Resistance certaintly making a run for it...

 

 

The Lavender Tights of HHH works in the "I wanna be Ric Flair" thread but it doesn't work for him...Stick to the Black and Metal Hunts.

 

Steiner with the American Flag in Canada...

I'm with you on Kane's bondage look- it's done more to hurt his cred than Katie Vick ever did.

 

Other recent no no's:

 

A-Train's speedo look: the less Albert flesh I have to look at the better.

 

Benoit's "Toothless Aggression" tights are just plain corny, especially considering how awesome his old multi-colored slash tights were.

 

Bradshaw as the homo-erotic cowboy last year. Nuff said.

 

All time worst I can remember is when Spike Dudley was following Big Show around and wearing a little black singlet a few years back. I felt like I was watching child pornography looking at that.

:throwup:

Steven Richards in pink is just stupid,

as was Raven in tights for that one match against Jeff Hardy, that was just gay.

I freakin' LOVE the black singlet he wore a few times last year... the one Scott Keith called the Mirror Universe tights (reference to a Star Trek TOS episode)

The Black Singlet I did like...yet I didn't for one reason...

 

Personally, I felt that too many people in Attitude era WWF wore black...you had Rock, Austin, HHH, McMahon (either one) Road Dogg, X-Pac, Undertaker...black gets bland. Which is why I liked Kurt...as he never wore black.

 

However, maybe for more serious feuds, I could see him wearing the black attire again.

While his various tights throughout the years were cool (minus the Rockers era), HBK's entrance gear (hat, vest, chaps) were always fruity looking.

 

There's also Billy Gunn's see through tights from 1999. Ugh.

 

And yes, Kurt's black singlet was dope. Can't say the same about his pinstriped singlet though.

...this makes me think...just how many different types of singlets has Angle had since he debuted on TV in 1999?

 

I know of his first, his Team Angle one...the three A logos, the black one, the one he wore at WrestleManias 16 and 17...The Half stars/half stripes one...

I DISPISED Angle's Camo design he used for a little while...

 

My favorite? Either the BLACK A or the All white with the Blue Splotches...

Didn't he wear it at Summer Slam 2001? With Austin or was that Blue and Gold Abs?

...must have been out of town for the Black A Angle attire...

It wasn't completely black... all black front/back but on the sides it had a flag design

No he wore a singlet that I've never seen him wear since... thank god. I hated that version. It was blue I think, with some kind of symbol on his stomach that I've seen a thousand times but can't think of the name or its origin

All of Billy and Chuck's outfits could not compare to how terrible their theme was...

 

Of course, there's already been a few "Worst/Best Themes Ever" Posts from late last year...

Jericho's tights that he used a couple of times this year. They we're orange with light purple, ugh.

 

HHH's purple trunks aren't that bad, but the purple boots are.

 

Spanky's shorts, plz change them.

You know...this thread has gotten me thinking...

 

How come some people can get away with wearing the same ring attire all the time (I.E.: Austin, Hogan in the 80's, Old School Taker), but some have to have hundreds of different ring attires (Angle, RVD, Benoit, et all)?

Because those guys you mentioned...

 

Hogan-Austin-Taker....Are Icons.

 

It's not that big of a deal...

 

Rock changed his around a lot (but keep it mainly black with new logos and colors and fonts)...

 

Flair has the Red, BLue,Green, Black, Purple, Aqua, White and the Yellow...

 

So it's not that big of a deal...even the two greatest entertainers changed it up...

You realise that no one here has mentioned Jeff Hardy yet.

Jeff never had ring attire...he had street clothes.

 

Knowing him, he probably wore those before he entered the arena anyway.

 

Same with Dreamer...well, maybe not the shirt, but still.
