Which wrestlers wear contacts?

[Nic Nemeth]

Just saw an old pic of Ryder wearing glasses, I figured he must have made the switch.

[Bub (BLM)]

The two I know of for certain are Jericho and RVD. They've both talked about it at various times. And in RVD's case, you can find old pictures of him wearing giant glasses as a kid.

Justin Gabriel

I know there was a picture of Mike Knox coming off of a bus floating around wearing glasses that made him look ten years older.

Rey Mysterio and Kane though that's more for appearance than eyesight..

[Nic Nemeth]

Come to think of it, CM Punk definitely has to wear them.

That pic of him from high school had him wearing the nerdiest glasses ever.

Have you never heard of laser eye surgury? These guys could have just got their vision corrected.

I think I may have seen a picture of Kane with eyeglasses, but I could be mistaken.

Most wrestlers don't really bother with contacts, though, since unless you're Stan Hansen, you don't really need them to see enough to wrestle safely.

That's quite expensive though.

Also I doubt the indy guys would waste the cash on that when the contacts are 50x cheaper.

However, this is WWE, where midcarders bring in over $200K a year. I'm sure that they can save up enough for vision correction.

I doubt that figure, but whatever you want to believe chum.

After merchandise and appearances, it's probably the before taxes and expenses number.

It's from some old WWE salary list. Val Venis, for example was pulling in over $200K ($239K off the top of my head) . Wrestlers higher up the card got considerably more ('Taker, Show, Cena, Hunter and HBK all pulling in over a million).

I'm pretty sure most WWE wrestler's could easily afford laser eye surgery and some probably have had it already but then maybe some won't have it done because they won't feel comfortable with it.

My mum and sister have both had it done and they seemed to find it painful the first few days but I couldn't tell you the real effect it had on them since I've never been in that position, heck I've never worn glasses.

[Metalheadbanger Man]

Perry Saturn had those crazy snake eye contacts in WCW.

They were badass.

[Boomaga]

I've seen Big Show wearing glasses in a lot of his out of character interviews, but they may be just for reading.

It's really not that expensive anymore. It's about 2 grand to do it

Didnt Melina take one of her contacts out during a match one time?

[Deleted]

I've seen lots of pictures of the British Bulldog wearing glasses, but I don't know if he wore contacts when he wrestled or just did without like Stan Hansen.

[Jeremy]

I hope Percy Watson never makes the switch
