Guest Genecide1 Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 Since I had this thread built on the old Smarkboard I figured i would resurrect it now for the enjoyment of all the new young whippersnappers. Well I'll start with Jake Robert's " Trust Me" tights. The flames with the snake in them. Those things were fabulous even if then he was descending into drug addiction.
Guest dreamer420 Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 I always like Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake's tights when I was younger.
Guest Genecide1 Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 You know who has the cool tights now? Yoshihiro Tajiri. I mean they have a swank design and everything
Guest dreamer420 Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 Tajiri's are cool. It is funny to watch some of his first ECW appearences because he wears much smaller tights then he does now and without his beard he looks totally different.
Guest Genecide1 Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 and thank goodness he's gotten rid of those creepy highpitched screams
Guest dreamer420 Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 yeah but now he is doing that cheesy routine where he gets all made and screams in japanese.
Guest Genecide1 Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 i personally don't think it's cheesy. I also think Bret Hart's Hart Foundation tights were always pretty cool, even if i grew to hate the man who wore them
Guest Genecide1 Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 well I was a HUGE rockers fan growing up and i'm also annoyed with the way that he talks about Vince McMahon using the death of Owen Hart to make ratings for himself when he's on a damn fortuneteller show trying to talk to his brother.
Guest dreamer420 Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 Personally after the whole montreal situation my hatred grew for Michaels and McMahon since they were the two who had obviously sabotaged Bret's career. i have been looking up to bret hart since i was a little kid and i even count the time i met bret as one of my lifetime highlights, so to see him get treated the way he did, it wasn't right. shawn michaels got what he deserved and soon hopefully vince will too
Guest Genecide1 Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 okay. but let's talk about the tights now. I always liked Sting's tights too. they fit perfectly in with the character, something that a lot of people don't take the time to do right now
Guest FakeRazor Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 Tajiri's are awesome. Gotta include Rick Rude for creativity. Benoit's slash tights are awesome as well.
Guest Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 I'm a mark for the Natural Disasters. Their tights really represented their characters. I never liked the Shark's tights, they looked very goofy, because of the goofy shark on Tenta's goofy loking gut.
Guest Big McLargeHuge Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 I'm going with rude, but more specifically his IC title tights. I believe he wore them when he beat the Warrior for the strap, though I'm not sure.
Guest Genecide1 Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 Allow me to also mention Rey Mysterio's Spider-man tights. Those things were awesome
Guest razazteca Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 Nova's Venom or Green Latern Psicosis Rey Misterio Jr's full body from Halloween Havoc the air brushed Rick Rude Angle's Red, White, Blue Booker T's Harlem Heat Black, Yellow, Red flame
Guest dreamer420 Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 How about when Rude was fighting the JYD at Summerslam 88 and he goes to the top rope only to pull down his tights and reveil another pair with a picture of Jake Roberts wife on them. Roberts hit the ring in about 2 seconds flat and kicked his ass.
Guest Genecide1 Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 Allow me to mention Randy " Macho Man" Savage's tights after he went to long ones
Guest dreamer420 Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 Forget the tights, his whole outfits, from the cowboy hats right down to the funky sunglasses were just crazy.
Guest Genecide1 Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 yup they were crazy but also perversely entertaining. Another personal favorite is the Jerry Lynn tights that he had in ECW
Guest dreamer420 Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 One of my favorite ECW quote was from Guilty As Changed 2000 when Jerry Lynn enters wearing a new paid of tights which leads Cyrus to say: "Looks like the new f'n show finally got some new f'n tights"
Guest Genecide1 Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 Yeah he always had good tights even if he did look like the lead singer from Nickelback at times. < imagining him singing "Leader of Men", his favorite Nickelback song>
Guest dreamer420 Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 He does look like the dude from Nickelback. Even more so in person too.
Guest Genecide1 Posted April 23, 2002 Report Posted April 23, 2002 lol. Allow me to also mention "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton as being in the running for best tights. those things were so bright they actually blew out one of my televisions
Guest dreamer420 Posted April 24, 2002 Report Posted April 24, 2002 I don't know why but Mr Perfect's always seemed to suit him pretty good. They weren't anything special but he made it look good.
Guest Genecide1 Posted April 24, 2002 Report Posted April 24, 2002 yeah they were and I will never forget the time he fought Shawn Michaels and those tights were brighter than his
Guest razazteca Posted April 24, 2002 Report Posted April 24, 2002 Lance Storm's Canadian Theme Red & White, is one of the best ever.
Guest Genecide1 Posted April 24, 2002 Report Posted April 24, 2002 I liked the Rocker's last tights. the Green-and-black were spectacular
Guest dreamer420 Posted April 24, 2002 Report Posted April 24, 2002 bret hart always had on a pair of pretty cool tights. also owen's after he was the slammy award winning owen hart were funny.
Guest Genecide1 Posted April 24, 2002 Report Posted April 24, 2002 yeah he did have cool tights as does Al Snow and Taka Michinoku
