I remember seeing a house show event on youtube(recorded by a fan using a camcorder) where "Road Dogg" Jesse James was singing "With My Baby Tonight" on the way to the ring. This was after he formed The New Age Outlaws with Billy Gunn.

How about when The Steiner Brothers first started teaming up, Rick still was wearing his “Varsity Club” singlet, while Scott wore trunks.

Bray Wyatt did a handful of FCW house shows as Axel Mulligan, where he came to the ring wearing what looked like a metal Hannibal Lecter mask (or the album cover for Quiet Riot).

We saw how this character might go when he went to the AWA. (Dark haired again, still wore pink and used the Adorable name, but wasn't as over the top as in WWF) EDIT: and actually the same held true in his last WWF appearances: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWsQocGFhyo

During Kanyon's super-short face run after unmasking as Mortis, he briefly had a red contact in one eye. I don't remember if this lasted one show or if it was only the night of his return, and I don't have any pictures.
I thought at the time it was a reference to how Glacier had that one white eye. If it was that might be why they dropped it, since they clearly wanted to distance Kanyon from Blood Runs Cold.

When they split up the Bashams in a draft, Doug started calling himself the Bash-Man and wearing sequined jackets to the ring, while Danny did a goth character. Pretty sure both were only on Heat and Velocity.
In between La Resistance and Ambassador of Quebec, Sylvan Grenier was briefly a male model.

The period just before Sting went into Crow mode where his hair was longer and not dyed. I remember idly looking in to this a few years back. Sting stops bleaching his hair around the start of October '95. The darker roots gradually begin growing through, the platinum blond recedes, and by early '96 he starts letting it grow out as well. Real serendipity with the whole Crow angle. He could've still done that deal, but would've been a longer break after Fall Brawl '96 to do so. Though, now I'm picturing no Sting at all for a few months before he suddenly appears for the first time in that attack at the end of Uncensored '97, and that would've been pretty awesome itself. Crow Sting came around after Scott Hall saw him having issues because the bleaching was making his hair fall out any gave him advice on how to change his character.

I started rewatching Raw from 1997 a few years ago, and there was that period around late 1997 and early 1998 in which Kama Mustafa was evolving into what would eventually become cartoon pimp Godfather and started dressing more like Ice-T.

To be specific, this was between April and July of ‘98 after Rock seized control of the Nation, and every member pivoted away from being black militants to their own individual personalities. Kama Mustafa began being addressed as The Godfather of the Nation before it was shortened to The Godfather. Instead of being a pimp, he would make his entrances to the ring with a cigar, throwing up gang signs, and wearing streetwear over his wrestling attire.

As for the One Man Gang with hair picture, are you sure it wasnt from his 1991 WCW stint (where he wrestled with a full head of hair)? Yeah-I wish I saved the picture, but he posted it on his Facebook a few years ago when he was sharing old stories Its still there. Its just short hair. No longer the mohawk.

This Bret Hart look, post Hart Foundation, pre-flying skull (he does have the skull on the back of the outfit though): It looks like he put his tights on backwards and Hitman should be on the back.

Surprised Mox's initial NJPW run hasn't been mentioned, with the return to the trunks for the first time since what, FCW? I still think it wasn't a bad look, it was just like... Raven in trunks level of jarring after how many years of looking how he had.
