We all joke around about wrestlers having to change to trunks to be taken seriously in the main event. That being said, I was kind of curious just how true that was, so here's all the main eventers and some upper-carders, sorted by attire...
JORTS: John Cena, duh
LONG PANTS/BAGGY PANTS: R-Truth Rey Mysterio
SINGLET/LONG SINGLET Mark Henry Big Show Jack Swagger Undertaker
TIGHTS: Christian John Morrison Kane Sin Cara
TRUNKS: Triple H Zack Ryder The Miz CM Punk Randy Orton Alberto Del Rio Sheamus Cody Rhodes Dolph Ziggler Wade Barrett
I don't think I forgot anybody, and I tried not to go too far down the card. Trunks already have the majority, but with the inactive roster removed from the list, you get 9 trunks wearers, -1- tights wearer, 3 singlet wearers, and Cena.
So yeah, all that talk about trunks being THE main event attire... may not be too far off. For all we know Vince probably does have that leg fetish.
Also, for what it's worth, I know we've got some indy wrestlers on this board, are trunks actually more comfortable than the other options? I seem to recall Jericho saying at some point that another reason he switched from tights was just a comfort factor.

I'm not an indy wrestler, but I would think that wearing trunks would be much more comfortable than wearing tights. It'd be like wearing underwear...less restricting.

Tights benefit from not giving you mat burn like you can get in trunks, but trunks are probably cheaper and easier to have a bunch of on the road.
