Outfits and Costumes-WMXX

Recommended Posts

Guest Choken One

I know this will sound goofy but Here’s a question I’ve always pondered…How do wrestlers plan out what they will wear for certain shows…I mean, Do some wrestlers have a pattern or reason for wearing a certain color or design for a particular match or event, Case in point, people like Jericho whom have MULTIPLE colors and designs, will one week wear the Aqua outfit from WMXIX and then go to the purple the next week and then something new…

 

Am I the only one that believes WHAT they are wearing has an effect on the match itself I’d like to imagine that at WMXX, all the wrestlers will put special thought into what they wear. I never could stand it when two wrestlers wore the same color in matches.

I think all wrestlers should wear something new for Mania (kind of how you wear your best suits for the big deals), I just hope Benoit just doesn’t reach into his bag and pull out his Red Pants, I’d love if he rocked the Black and Red shredded pants he rocked when he debuted, HHH should wear the Black tights (not the ugly purple one) because that would signify his classic look along with his heeldom, Shawn really should do a homage to his wmxii outfit and go all white again. I’m praying Eddy doesn’t wear the El Matador pants or the gray pants, he should rock black and gold again and Angle, shouldn’t wear something outlandish like the Black Superman design. I’m sure RVD will bring something creative to table (if he even makes the show)…I hope Mysterio burned his WMXIX outfit. Only in the Case of Brock/Goldberg should they each wear similar tights (as that has been the push so far “Brock Lesnar Wannabe Vs Goldberg Wannabe”…It would be only fitting they each rock the black tights.

Jericho should wear his red barbed wire pants, those rule so much. I agree with you though, it would be cool if everyone wore a new outfit (well not everyone, but everyone who actaully HAS mutiple attires). I'd like to see HBK wear his attire he wore at WM 14 (complete with gloves that he never wears anymore). RVD will probably bring out something new, like you said if he even makes the card. I guess we will just have to wait and see though.

I actually HATED the fucking Green look Jericho wore at WM18...The biggest night of his career and he wears THAT?

I remember for WrestleMania 2000, Rocky busted out Blcack pants with Gold Brahma Bull Design. I noticed on the night and thought it was pretty cool. Yeah the pants actually looked crap, but wearing gold specifically for WrestleMania was a nice touch.

That Wrestlemania was on St. Patrick's Day... Maybe he was trying to get the luck of the Irish...?

He has said he suffers from the curse of the Irish...

 

 

Ya know, we haven't seen Jericho rock a white look before...I'd love if he wore the same pattern as the WMXIX one but only White and Black.

That kinda sounds like the Randy Savage-WrestleMania theory. During his last few WM appearances, Savage's ring attire served as an indication of what would happen.

 

WM VII- Savage wears a white hat to the ring and walks out as a face. Typically, the color white is a symbol for good (face) while black is a symbol for evil (heel).

 

WM VIII- Savage wears gold ring attire and walks out as the WWF champion.

 

WM X- Savage wears black and white ring attire. Savage uses a heelish tactic (black) to win the match, even though he's a face (white).

 

The ring attire thing could be applied to the Bret-HBK match at WM XII. Bret wore all black, indicating that he would play the heel. HBK wore white and gold, indicating that he would (1) play the face, and (2) walk out as the champion.

well, SOMEONE really reads into it...

 

I also have this theory that the color of Flair's tights will indicate if he blades or not

Eh, don't give me too much credit. I heard the WM tights theory somewhere else, but I can't remember where.

I have a similar theory about his hair. When it's short, he's face. When it out of control, he's a heel. Basically, the better groomed Flair is, the nicer he will be.

There's the corollary to this that anybody wearing a white shirt will be jumped and busted open.

 

White shirt = You're about to bleed.

Didn't those say "DX" all over them?

yeah but I meant just the gloves he wore in general, without the DX things. He hasn't worn gloves since he returned and I always thought they were cool

Pardon the unhip, but how does one "rock a look"?

Ca I just ask exactly what the difference is between what I would call trousers and American would call pants, and slacks? I get the impression that "pants" and "slacks" are two different things, but I've never been able to work out why...

 

Damn langauge barrier.

Slacks are what you wear for special Occasions like Weddings and such, while Pants, be it Jeans, Khaki or Courdory aren't.

How would that work?

Red tights: He blades

White tights: He blades

Purple tights: He blades

Black tights: He blades.

I've seen Slick Ric with hair that matces his tights many times. Red is a big one too.

Doesn't anyone else get annoyed when 3/4 of a tag match are all wearing the same color?

 

I remember a Cade/Jyndrak Vs Batistia/Flair match and everyone but Batistia was wearing the same bright red tights.
