I like all of them, but I've fallen out of favour with trunks due to Vince's leg fetish making damn near everyone in the WWE make the switch (even longtime tight wearers), and casual as it's just become so cliche now. It might have been revolutionary in the Attitude Era as it was OMG A WRESTLER NOT WEARING SPANDEX but it's outstayed its welcome.
Yours?

I agree, wearing trunks, particularly speedo/tighty-wighty shaped ones, seems so cliche. Whatever happened to singlets, longer trunks, tight pants, long singlets (Like Bret Hart's attire, as well as Sting's old ring attire), etc?

Tights. They alway look alright and work with any gimmick/character. Can you imagine Kane, Undertaker, Mankind or Crow Sting in trunks?

I picked other.
It depends on the character. Some guys, like Kane, would look ridiculous in trunks, yet a Stone Cold, for example, would look weird with tights.
I prefer variety, keep the wrestlers looking different so they're instantly identifiable.

Thinking about it a bit more, the Bellas and Kelly Kelly are the best.
If the Bellas' shorts were any shorters they'd be a belt.
If Kelly Kelly's shorts were any lower they'd be socks.

There are some attires that seem a little odd on some women as well. I remember seeing a picture a while back that had Johnny Nitro (Or John Morrison, but he was known as either Johnny Nitro or John Hennigan, his real name, during OVW) and Melina in it. She was wearing a bra and trunks. I've gotten more and more used to her current wrestling attire style over the years, but of course this was during the developmental days.
By the way, does anybody remember when Bret Hart wore an actual wrestling singlet at Survivor Series 1993? It looked kind of weird on him. I am more used to his long singlet-style attire, with the tights and vest/tanktop as the top part.

Actually, I remember seeing wrestling magazines with Austin on them back in his Stunning Steve days, wearing long tights with flowers on them. I believe that was back in his Dangerous Alliance days or even before that with Lady Blossom (?) as his valet. |

I like the singlet look - Mr. Perfect, Angle, Rhyno, RVD. Do singlets plus tights go under this catagory because then I could add Bret and Vader.

Didn't he also wear trunks when he first started in the WWF when he was given a cowboy gimmick before The Hart Foundation was formed? |

Tights, kneepads, kickpads.
Davey Richards/Y2J, that kind of style.

Trunks are fine so long as u wear knee pads. It males your legs look skinny and awkward without them

Different strokes for different folks. Just as long as they're not ill-fitting. Like Dave Mastiff in tonight's NOAH main event - he's 275lbs of mainly flab, and he wore trunks that barely contained him. He'd have been better off in a singlet.
As for female wrestlers, depends on the body. Some girls, like Nicole Matthews, suit tights (though she also looks good in trunks), yet I was never a fan of Mickie James in tights.

Other: Full bodysuits and a mask.   My counter argument to the age-old accusation that "all wrestling is is two half-naked guys grabbing for and rolling around with each other". |

Depends on the guy. Trunks suit Miz, for example, perfectly, while Cena would look awful in them, since they call attention to the fact he is built like an ape with small, short legs.
