I gotta say that I agree with Regal's wardrobe master/mistress. How many guys in the WWEEEe right now have pot bellies due to age? JBL's moobs come to mind, Murdock got fired, SuperCrazy isn't even on TV.
It's a fit world in the ring where the beautiful bodies reign supreme.
Regal just made a move to keep his character presentable. I figure it'll extend his career by years if he's interesting to look at, rather than be just "that old out of shape" who "wrestles okay" but "jiggles like Homer on a umm. sybian machine?" (better analogy muchly needed)

I didn't even recognize him, which is sadder.

The guy I'm thinking of wasn't one of the Asian wrestlers. He was white, had blonde hair. But yeah, those stereotyped martial arts gimmicks, though cliche, were so fun to see back then. In truth, the only thing I ever watch on TWC or the Fight Network or whatever it's called now is World of Sport. And on topic, yes the jacket was silly, but i love long-hair Regal. Looks like he's saying "I can grow my hair however i want, cause I'll still knee yhour face off". And with that said, if he still gets a title push/run, I can happily tolerate the silly jacket. while we're talking about WOS, am i the only one who remembers kid chocolate? he was easily as good as half the "legends" who people remember from that show, but for some reason his name never comes up. and yeah, regal looked ricockulous. a normal singlet without any legs is fine, but when it starts covering chest you just start looking like you should be stood next to nicky hambleton-jones while people guess your age. I should remmeber him, but i don't. I do rememeber the black guy who normally wore green tights and had an awesome dropkick though. And thank you, Canadian_HEAT, I now have an image of Regal on a sybian. That will haunt me till my dying day.
