20 Worst Fashion Statements in Pro Wrestling History
HUMOR — One of the more underrated aspects of wrestling has always been fashion. Tights, masks, street clothes or even full-fledged costumes have always had their part to play in the squared circle.
That said, there is a difference between flamboyancy and outright fashion nightmare. Some things, such as the Ultimate Warrior's arm ties, Benoit's gap-toothed smile, Mysterio's mask and Edge's long blond hair became signature aspects of their personae.
Others were the stuff of nightmares.
Over the years, there have always been some rather ridiculous fashion statements that some wrestler or booker thought, "Hey, this will work!" only to turn out to be so awful they'd make Perez Hilton blush and Lady Gaga applaud.
Instead of focusing on ring gear as a whole, we'll focus on certain aspects of the get up, dealing with everything from tights to hair to tans to masks.
Shall we?
