Who do you think of instantly when you think of 80's attire and ring gear, etc. I suppose alot non fans would probably consider this the stereotype of a wrestler:  Rude always had amazing tights:  And of course:  |

OK, this did leak into the early 90s, but still:  |

The most 80s'ed out outfits came during the earliest years of the 90s.

There are two major neon signs for the '80s:  This picture has many things that scream the 1980s: Ricky Morton's mullet. The T-shirt tassels at the bottom of Robert's shirt. The brightly-colored or loud-patterned hankies tied to their tights and around their necks. Men with hairy chests and beards were considered sex symbols in wrestling. (Nowadays, it seems the only guys that can have hairy chests are heels.) Oh man, zebra-printed suspenders.  And here you have the Fabulous Freebirds. Michael Hayes fills the mullet quota, plus had the cut-off T that showed off the stomach. Buddy still rocked the '70s perm. As for Terry, kinda doughy body, but this was around the time that wrestling body-types started to change. Some promotions didn't care what you looked like as long as you were tough enough for the business and looked like you could go in the ring. |
