Go on, picture it. Mostly bring this up because the back of Curt Hawkins's trunks makes me think of the Netflix logo and I'd like to make it official.

I can only imagine how much people'd pay for advertising space on John Morrison's ass.

Were these ads for actual things?  |

R-Truth should mention Panda Energy in his raps.

Oh, and X-Pac was sponsored by Surge.

Were these ads for actual things? Nah. Besides the difficult of getting sponsors, which WWE has sometimes had problems doing, and making sure the brands might not cause embarrassment (like plastering Chavo's trunks with "Just For Men" logos or something) I don't see why they haven't. Even just the ring-apron or the barriers. |

The back of Hawkins' trunks, you say? We're going to need pictures in this thread. For research purposes.
Yes. Research purposes.

They already do. Their own shirts.  I hate that they do entrances on regular TV in their own shirts. I really miss entrance gear in WWE. Miz would look so much better if he came out in that black jacket every week. |

Miz would look so much better if he came out in that black jacket every week. Yeah, one problem with it is a lot of guys don't really look legitimate at all because of it. Plus it's odd in who does it - guys like Daniel Bryan and The Miz do it, but you'll never see Randy Orton or Triple in one of their shirts when they come to the ring. |

It really makes WWE look desperate which is ridiculous becasue they are the only real competition in town. I just don't' see any reason for it. Having them wear their own shirt brings them down and shows peope that they can't sell their shirts on their own ability. |

On the other side of the coin, I don't think Zack Ryder wears his shirt because he doesn't think it'll sell.
I genuinely think he wears it to the ring because he's just so excited that he has a shirt.
...I love him so much.

You would expect a guy with his gimmick to wear his own T shirt. Which is all the more reason why when other guys do it it ruins the idea of using it as a gimmick to add to his character. |

I dont think this is a good idea, and going from my extensive UFC viewing history, I'll tell you why.
Certain sponsors can convey a bad image for you. You're a UFC fighter, fighting for number 1 contendership, you wanna look the part, and a tough guy.
Your shorts are ready, and "Condom Depot" just happens to be on your ass.

It happens in boxing and UFC but since the WWE is every week I doubt there are enough sponsors to make the ones who are sponsored not look stupid with an ad on their ass.

This past Monday he went out topless to attack Punk mind you. |

That was my gimmick in a small federation in southern-Minnesota back in 2000! I would proclaim I was clearly the best wrestler because I had corporate sponsorship, wear like a Heinz Ketchup shirt, carry a bottle of it, cut a promo with it, and try to use it in my match (which would ultimately, usually, come back to bite me in the butt.) My goal was to go on an MVP-style losing streak and get worse- and worse sponsors until I was wrestling in a MaxiPads shirt or something... but then I got injured, and never wrestled again.
