Is it just me or doesn’t everyone seem to be doing this now?
I liked when it was Rey Mysterio’s thing. But now everyone seems to be doing it... off the top of my head, I can think of
Rollins (Deadpool, Thanos)
Gargano (Iron Man, Punisher)
Buddy Murphy (Joker)
Alexa Bliss (Joker, Harley Quinn)
Mickie James (Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel)
Lana (Wonder Woman)
Kofi Kingston (Robin)
Ronda Rousey (Sonya Blade)
Kurt Angle (Captain America)
I dunno. I just feel there’s a lack of originality involved. Is it just me?

Bliss also did Super Girl, and Iron Man... and freddy krueger... and a bunch of others...
Sasha did Wonder Woman too
Bayley did Iron Man too...
And you need a shitload more for Kofi as I think he's done like everyone... (and the new day did Red Lanterns at one point)
I don't think it' a lack of originality as they all tend to work the design into the super hero stuff.
They're fans of things and it's much more popular in the pop culture than when Rey started doing it... so I got no problem.

I guess my issue is... you’re given a platform to be your own character. And half of them are too busy trying to be one that already exists. If I’m a wrestler, I’m creating my own memorable attire that will be remembered for years. |

Most people tend to at least adapt a colour scheme or motif from the character they're doing a tribute to and apply it to their own general gear template.
It's not really a huge deal, especially when you compare it to wrestling's history of 'ok, we're just going to flat out rip off the design choices and names from this one film'. Just listing all the Mad Max 'tributes' would take a while before you get to the Arachnamans and horror villains.

Gargano, for instance, always incorporates his smiley logo onto the superhero-themed attire he wears for TakeOver shows. |

personally, their superhero looks are often my favorite attire of theirs.
I still have Sasha's Wonder Woman gear in my 2k19 game even though she hasn't worn it in a long time.
other attires not mentioned yet:
Cedric Alexander = Black Panther
Ronda Rousey = White Ranger

I tend to be on board with it, just don't overdo it to where it won't be something you can get put into a game or figure.  |

When Shane wrestles, he turns into Purple Man.

Ronda did the voice for Sonya Blade so at least there was a reason for that beyond just dressing up as her for the sake of being a fan I guess

As annoying as it is when people compare their relationship to the Joker and Harley Quinn, I did like when Cedric Alexander and Aerial Monroe did the gender swap one week and she was the Joker in the MYC and he was Harley on 205 Live.

In my old pie in the sky dreams of being a pro wrestler, I always envisioned gear styled in color tributes to all the various Robin personas(Red Hood, Nightwing, Red Robin, etc...), so I can't knock the style.

I think Rey was supposed to Iron Fist or something. He used to do a hero every year.

I always wished to see Goldberg in a superman outfit with the Star of David on his chest, with a matching cape.
