How can anybody forget this one? Remember when Big Show first started in the WWF? He wore trunks. Totally generic, but accepted them at first, but what about his trunks that said "The Big Show" that he wore at Fully Loaded 99?

I HATE all white trunks. The diaper look is not a good one. Booker T is the only white-trunked wrestler to date that's been able to not look like an adult baby, IMO. Maybe it's how they're designed.

Hogan pulled off the white trunks/white boots combo fairly well, but it was nowhere near as good as the red and yellow. Same with Ted DiBiase at WM9; it looked cool for a change, but I liked his original black trunks and boots better.

Honestly, I was going to mention Bulldog's jeans look, but I forgot. What's even more funny is how at Unforgiven 99, he wore tights then quickly switched to the jeans look.

I don't like Undertaker's Onesies. I liked the Leather pants, the onesie really helps his chicken legs stand out.
On the opposite side. I really like HBK's pants. I get he doesn't want to "Strip" and they hide his chicken legs.

"Thuganomics" Cena to Current Cena Huh? What's different? I HATE all white trunks. The diaper look is not a good one. I imagine if it was, say, Mickie James or something there wouldn't be much complaining... Anyway, here's one worth bringing up - Orton switching to black. He was able to pull off various other colors nicely, even red which usually pretty much nobody can look good in in wrestling, but he looks as generic as he actually is in the black he usually wears.

Rey Mysterio's lucha-style mask to some...bondage-y gimp-strapped mask. Yes. God I hate the strap mask. Considering he's built up with the lucha heritage, it'd be easy for anyoen to just rip the flimsy thing off, nevermind him constantly adjusting it. Paul Burchill going from the badass red & black tights to the trunks. The look's grown on me but his tights were better. Finlay from the black & green singlet to adding orange into the colour scheme. Not a good look. Matt Hardy from the red shiny pants to camo, and even moreso from the camo pants to the horrendous Zelda tights he has now. I agree on Taker switching back from pants to tights in 2005-06 ish. He looks so gangly with tights, like his legs will snap on any dive or leg lock.

And I agree with Carlito changing from the shorts to the pants. The pants look ridiculous and all sorts of generic, while he usually at least stood out in the shorts. Especially when they were yellow, gave him a color scheme and design no one else really had. Better to look generic than to look ridiculous. Part of the reason I never took Carlito seriously was those trunks.

Anytime a wrestler switched from their previous hairstyle TO a mullet. =P
In fact looking back on stuff from the mid 90s, it seemed like every match had at least one...and surprisingly often both participants with mullets.

Anyone remember Raven's last WWE match with Jeff Hardy? Raven's attire declined pretty fast. The leather cutoffs and white tshirt look was just the start...

HHH shoulda went to tights instead of the biker shorts in 2003-2006-7 to hide the white taping
