victory Posted December 14, 2015 Report Posted December 14, 2015 There was some team in WCW late 90's that I either saw on Nitro or Thunder that wore some sort of long sleeve black pantyhose see thru shirts that looked awful. I only saw them once as they kind of looked like High Voltage. I forgot who they jobbed to.Erik Watts & Chad Fortune? I dont think so. Didn't they have some sort of NASCAR gimmick? These guys reminded me of a cross between goth and Night at the Roxbury. Now that I think about it more it was almost like a prelude to Kronik. Similar shirts with no patterns. I'll have to research more when I get a chance and see if I can figure it out.
dexstar Posted December 14, 2015 Report Posted December 14, 2015 To be fair to Tekno Team 2000, maybe we haven't reached the year those become fashionable yet.
The Following Contest Posted December 15, 2015 Report Posted December 15, 2015 The "everybody needs a job" era which preceeded the "gimmicked jobbers" era has to be the all time time-frame for this.
jpchicago23 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Posted December 15, 2015 I didn't see it mentioned but early to mid 00s Claudio and Chris Hero were pretty bad. Two of my favorite guys but damn. Claudios hair didn't help either
JRH Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Posted December 15, 2015 I never liked Brian Pillman in long tights, it never really worked for me.
tofu_chipmunk Posted December 15, 2015 Report Posted December 15, 2015 Something that's bothered me is that Brodus Clay/Cyrus has played a menacing bodyguard character for much of his career, but his ring gear accentuates how bulbous his physique is, taking away from any intimidating aura he has. The Funkasaurus period is the exception to this, of course.
Death From Above Posted December 15, 2015 Report Posted December 15, 2015 Tekno Team 2000 I will cut some slack because they correctly predicted in the future people will spell things wrong on purpose using the letter K to look cool. Also, era of style aside, is their gear really *that* radically different than Neville "The man that gravity forgot"? Both are working b-Marvel Hero gimmicks too.
Death From Above Posted December 15, 2015 Report Posted December 15, 2015 I think we've gone far enough without discussion of one of the greatest moments in wrestling history. Also, WCW doesn't know the difference between a mummy and a yeti.

Death From Above Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 http://youtu.be/AgItbGA0tJg This never fails to crack me up.
The Following Contest Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 Even in the era before google, how do you confuse a Yetti with a Mummy? Did nobody at Turner own an encyclopedia?
cactus Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 Tommy Dreamer has always had a shit look, but some of those pants he's been wearing on WWE recently have been horrendous.
Slasher Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 I think Mankind has to be mentioned somewhere here. Both the original look and after he acquired the white shirt looked awful even for a character like him.
thebrainfollower Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 I feel like there's GOT to be some women's attire in the last 15 years that would top the list but cannot think of any.
Yo-Yo's Roomie Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 The original Mankind look was great. No business being mentioned in this thread for my money. Billy Gunn had some terrible outfits. I hated Saturn's Marilyn Manson-inspired look too.
supremebve Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 I feel like there's GOT to be some women's attire in the last 15 years that would top the list but cannot think of any. Nia Jaxx's debut attire could be on the list. She looked like a Faberge egg. For the most part though, women's attire is generally pretty good. Even the bad looks tend to be bad on purpose, like some of Sensational Sherri's goofier outfits.
Slasher Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 The original Mankind look was great. No business being mentioned in this thread for my money. Billy Gunn had some terrible outfits. I hated Saturn's Marilyn Manson-inspired look too. He was decked out head to toe in brown. That's great? Not for my money.
C.S. Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 The original Mankind look was great. No business being mentioned in this thread for my money. Agreed, and I loved the ragged white shirt and tie look too.
goc Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 Really don't see anything wrong with this:
Infinit Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 Some of you guys don't get that some outfits need to match the gimmicks. Mankind, Taker and Boss man are great examples of that.
dexstar Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 Mankind wasn't exactly meant to be a stylish character...
Slasher Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 Mankind wasn't exactly meant to be a stylish character... He doesn't have to dress up like the Rock or anything but surely they could avoid having him look like actual turd...the color just did not flatter his figure.
