Why is it so prevalent in AEW vs WWE? Does WWE make them take it off? Or does AEW keep it on for the real sport feel

It highlights an injury in a different way than bandages and taped body parts can do. Usually it also leads to storylines in the matches surrounding where it's stationed

Usually it also leads to storylines in the matches surrounding where it's stationed AEW just feels like it's just there so I never fully know if it's gimmick or just something they let go cause sports feel. It's not like something obvious like tapped ribs

Does the Kahn family own a sports tape production company?

WWE uses it a lot too. You'd think Cesaro's whole gimmick in his latter WWE years was "strong guy with tape" by how often dude had it on him.

It's going to be like baseball where everyone keeps getting longer and bigger earpiece extenders only in wrestling the tape is going to make them look like mummies

Everyone saw YOSHI-HASHI wearing so much of it around his neck and shoulders for over a year and knew they had to follow his lead.
