Maybe it was part of his punishment? heh I guess you can get heel heat from having a dumb outfit though, like MVP's power ranger gear I have no doubt that it was one of those two things.

Yeah, that was pretty much my reaction to it as well. He looked like a black Easter egg with arms and legs.

It didn't seem like he was hiding any fat, and hey, he put on a pretty good match with Punk.
It was damn ugly though, I'll give ya that.

Maybe it has to do with the new research that has come up around the Olympics now that tight clothing makes you faster/stronger etc?
Who am I kidding, it was hilariously awful.

It's likely that he's put on a gut... They did the same thing with MVP... JBL for some reason refuses to hide his Dustyesqe figure however.

That's just a stupid rumour that MVP's outfit was to hide a gut. You ever worn a full body spandex outfit? Not the best way to hide ANYTHING. Anyone who wants to hide a gut has to wear something loose fitting, like a t-shirt or jersey.

The hair and eentrance robe still and forever will rule.
That said, I don't like the torso part (although I'm only going on WWE.com photos as I haven't yet seen Raw). He used to wear a similar attire in 03-04 that looked much better, as it was without all the laurel designs. Get rid of the torso area or remove the laurel designs, and I'm perfectly fine with it.
Also ,Regal's always been a big guy- he is 6'4" and has always had a bulky frame. Don't think he'ds any fatter than he used to be.

With that suit and long hair he looked like a very large woman.

Since then he's been athletically chunky though. And even then he wasn't exactly slim, just a fair bit slimmer. But I take your point.

Maybe, but I remember during his feud with Kane where he was selling the "burns" he got, that he was wrestling without the top part of his outfit on, so you could see the tats.

Wow...
I think the frilly hair he has doesn't help either.
Looks like someone on World of Sport would have worn.

I'd heard that somewhere too, that MVP had a tattoo he'd acquired in prison. Even with his Power Ranger suit down he still wears a T-shirt. Regal did look ridiculous, but him and Punk put on a pretty good pure wrestling match IMO

I'd argue that the attire Regal wore last night was even WORSE than MVP's had ever been. If it was a singlet, fine. The way that attire looked, it was almost as if they had seriously just taken a bathing suit and stitched some design on it that looked similar to what Regal wore on his coat.

Why is everyone hating on Regal's WELLNESS MANSIERRE?
