Macho Man's cool three star trunks to Macho King and long tights and those awful cowboy hats. I remember all the Macho Man identities and actually liked the crazy colorful ones with the cowboy hat Yeah, wrestlers wearing different outfits for every match is a definite mark out moment for me (see also: Rick Rude's airbrushed tights). |

I always preferred the Mortis look to Kanyon's more generic attire. Mortis at one point was the coolest masked wrestler in wrestling. I wish he didn't have the skulls on the shoulder pads, but yeah...Mortis was just awesome, especially that theme. |

An unpopular opinion, I’m sure, but I’m going to say Surfer Sting to Crow Sting was a massive downgrade.

Yea what was up with British Bulldog in jeans? And I recall some kind of hiking boots? Wouldnt that be uncomfortable to wrestle in? Why wouldnt he go back to his old signature look? He looked so blah and nondescript in jeans. And apparently (I totally forgot) Rule Brittania was changed to some forgettable techno screechy stuff. Was he pissed at his home country at the time? Just the guy had his whole identity erased and became Joe Generic. I didn’t mind Bulldog in jeans. The British patriot gimmick would’ve looked really out of place in 1999 (as shown by Unforgiven), so he needed a refresh, and I think soccer hooligan was a clever way of playing on his British roots in an edgy way. i think most people hate on the look because they associate it with the downturn in his health. |

I was intrigued by the promos for Willow. Only to find myself watching Jeff Hardy in a mask, acting even goofier than normal.

Andromeda galaxy Kris Statlander > generic badass Kris Statlander
Unpopular opinion: I like Wardlow better without the bun. I never could take him seriously with that thing.

Just the guy had his whole identity erased and became Joe Generic. When Bulldog first came back on SmackDown and beat the Bossman for the Hardcore title he had this theme, which was a techno remix of Rule Brittania, which I thought was great for him. youtu.be/6praIjX4c-E?si=0Jr_VdR-yxZfIGp0But, he only use that a few times before going with the one with the barking dogs. While, I loved that theme I thought it was a horrible fit for Davey Boy. youtu.be/1yWhe8o7Ebw?si=SEEpKncaEUmm54H6On that note either one of these would been great for Harry Smith if he had been called up. |

Macho Man's cool three star trunks to Macho King and long tights and those awful cowboy hats. Agreed. He went to neon/satin trunks along the way, but as good as he still was I always associate the space cowboy look with him losing feuds against Dusty and Warrior and his commentary stint on Raw. |

I hate to speak negative of the guy.
But when Shad Gaspard turned heel and attacked JTG.
Going from his Cryme Tyme look to just generic shorts was a bit of a downgrade.

10 was big and mysterious.
Preston Vance is boring, slightly startled and looks like Harry Kane.

Although, I'm not sure sparkly sequin robes to colorful jackets with tassels is really the massive jump Apter is suggesting.  Is this not the height of manliness? |

Without, he somehow looks like a normal buff guy He does at least look better now than he did pre-10, where he spent like half his match with Darby Allin with his tighty whities hanging out. But yeah, 10 made him look bigger somehow. |
