Minor thing.
I hate the chaps. Why did he get rid of the tights in the first place? Never understood the reason for that. Hoping they make a return at Mania, but highly unlikely.

Dude is like 43, and judging by his walk he no doubt has old man bird legs. Between that and his thinning hair and just overall physical degradation, if he wore the tights, it would be painfully obvious just how much he has aged. Imagine taking a side by side photo, HBK in tights, on the left 1997, on the right, 2010. Doesnt sound pretty.

from what i could gather it was due to the kneebrace(s) he wears.i would think it wouuld be more comfortable. i personally like his chaps, it's a natural evolution of him getting older.

Plus I imagine it's safer on his opponents to have the braces covered, as some people have been busted open due to them in the past.

This style fits the older HBK much more. Although really, the main reason I'm glad hes kept them is: I actually prefer them over the tights. Regardless of things like age and all that. They just look cool to me...
