Roman Reigns definitely looks worse now than he did back then.  Looks like your typical future star.  Looks like mangy cosplayer. It's funny because I was always under the impression Reigns had the body armor etc because he didn't look ripped/impressive enough....but he looks okay in that first picture.... |

His body is fine, but I think they think he just doesn't look "big" enough. Even with the roster generally being smaller nowadays, Reigns looks pretty undersized for a "big man" wrestler. If they put him in trunks, no way would they be able to sell him as a monster juggernaut destroyer of worlds. Also, that was years ago. Who knows what his body looks like now. Sure he keeps himself in physical shape, but maybe he's less focused on actually having a shredded torso since he's been wearing a vest. Didn't he get a beat down one time where his vest got ripped off and he spent the whole segment face down? |

I like Reigns look better now. If he stayed the same, people would call him generic. If they did, it would be because he's got the personality of a wooden plank. Punk, Bryan, Miz, Batista, The Rock, Austin, Trips, Hogan, Flair, etc. all these guys were main eventers while in trunks. None of them was called boring because of what they wore. Notice how I didn't include Orton? That's because he literally is a wooden plank. |

Best from FCW to NXT: Fiery upstart babyface Mike Dalton to Prince MF'ing Pretty.

Off the looks topic, but wasn't NXT Roman a heel refined businessman or something?

Reigns had his vest off in the evolution vs. shield match and from what I remember he was nowhere near that defined at the time.

HAPPY TRY Rusev doesn't even look like Rusev! And I will completely disagree with people who say Ambrose's street clothes look isn't good. It's obviously different, and as he summed it up in an interview I think I read somewhere ((paraphrase)) "When you get in a fight you're wearing actual clothes. Not underwear." Last time I checked, you don't do rebound clotheslines off of objects in a fight. So, his logic is faulty. |

I say this in the most heterosexual way  But seeing those pictures, I'm amazed Vince has not ordered Roman Reigns to ditch the armour attire and start wearing trunks. |

Vince seems to have a hard-on for trunks, as most of his champions ran around in nothing but underwear. Frankly, the more people who wrestle without trunks, the better. That's my take. And, what about that dude who looks like a pile of mashed potatoes? What was his prior incarnation? |

Bo with the black glove is a good look, IMHO.

And, what about that dude who looks like a pile of mashed potatoes? What was his prior incarnation? When you say "without trunks" do you mean they should go nude? I honestly don't mind it when guys wear trunks, as long as they have the body for it. And if they have to wear something other than trunks, I'd rather it be long tights, a singlet, bike shorts, Shorts like Kevin Owens, or even a bodysuit like Goldust/Stardust as long as the person looks the part of a professional athlete. I like wrestlers to have actual gear unless their gimmick dictates that they don't (e.g. Bray Wyatt). This isn't directed at you, but I've always felt that people who complained seeing wrestlers in trunks were guys who had friends that called them "gay" for liking wrestling so now they want wrestlers to cover up so that it looks less "gay". |

Uh... no, because I'm still scarred for life from Naked Mideon. I'm not gonna lie about my sexuality; I'm bi. I'm only ashamed of my wrestling fandom when something stupid or strange that cannot be explained easily happens. But, my argument is more of the fact that wrestling trunks are not creative in terms of appearance, as if you have too many dudes running around with the same base attire, with slight color changes, it doesn't allow for a diverse environment in appearance. You kinda want your performers to have the ability to be distinguished differently and easily. Basically, what I'm saying is that I just wanna see more guys wear different ensembles. Even dudes like Bull Dempsey (who wears a traditional singlet) should be commended for doing something different. It's mostly aesthetics and has nothing to do with sexuality. |
