Bizarre topic, but this is WC. It'll go over here better than anywhere else.
I know wrestling gets stereotyped as being oiled musclemen running around in their underwear pretending to fight each other, but has anyone actually wrestled in legit, underwear?
I could see some super-cheap indy wrestler go this way as the polar opposite of wrestling in the same thing they wore to the event, or, I dunno, someone wrestling as a Quail-Man tribute.

When I was training, one dude in the group forgot his shorts 4 days out of 7, and on the fourth occasion the trainers said noone was to lend him any and told him to either train in his underwear or go home.
So I've given a dude in tighty whities a back body drop.

Chaz Warrington/Headbanger Mosh, during his "Chaz" gimmick, wrestled in what appeared to be boxer shorts.

All jokes aside, Patterson did once I think during one of his matches with Gerry Briscoe.

Yeah, I was going to say Meat too. I can't recall exactly what his trunks looked like, but I remember them either being underwear or fashioned to look like underwear.

Do many WWE 'diva' matches still feature bra-and-panty stipulations?

I remember there was an old story about The Public Enemy in 1996 when they were working for WCW. Basically they were supposed to work a house show, but there car got broken into before the show and their wrestling gear was stolen. They got a lift to the local K-Mart, bought some boxers, someone sewed up the hole in front, and they wrestled in them.

I can't remember his name to save my life, but back in the day, there was a wrestler who worked a "loveable, crazy guy" gimmick that wrestled in boxer shorts with hearts printed on them. I wish I could remember his name.

Didn`t Who(Jim Niedhart) wrestle in his underwear? I remember the commentators making a joke that Fruit of the Loom sponsored him or something like that.

Back when WOW magazine still existed, Dutch Mantel wrote a column about a time when Jimmy Hart was participating in a battle royal in Memphis. Maybe he was a last minute replacement or maybe he just forgot his gear--I forgot exactly--but for whatever reason, Jimmy had to do the battle royal in his skivvies. As a rib, the other wrestlers decided to gang up on him and see who could snatch his underwear off him first. As Jimmy's being eliminated, someone finally succeeds and poor Jimmy had to run back to the dressing room completely naked.

Yeah, I was going to say Meat too. I can't recall exactly what his trunks looked like, but I remember them either being underwear or fashioned to look like underwear. They were kind of like Calven Klein styled. I remember he also wore some purple ones or something like that. Hopefully they never had him wear white ones. lol  How long did this gimmick last? It couldn't have been very long because I can only remember seeing him wrestle once like back in late 98 or early 99. EDIT- Actually looking closer at the picture I think those are actually Calvin Klein brand because you can see the name on them. LOL EDIT- Oh my gosh I just found a match on youtube where Chaz(in white boxers with a smiley face on the front) faces Meat(in pink tighty style underwear) face off in a match from 1999. It is glorious.  LOL The funniest thing about it is that King and JR say absolutely nothing about them both wearing underwear. they just ramble on about the Test/Stephanie storyline pretty much ignoring the the less than 3 minute filler match. LOL ;D |
