This reminds me, has anybody tried cataloguing Macho Man's attires? Once he went neon cowboy it felt like a rare thing to see him reuse an outfit.

Someone could probably make a book just about his outfits alone and the matches and events he used them in. I know some people didn't like the cowboy look and preferred the stars but the cowboy seemed to fit his personality more especially as he moved into the 1990s, turned face and did more commentary.

Same, and that's a book I'd buy in a heartbeat. Savage had some absolutely iconic outfits, and it's insane to think he probably only ever wore any of them a handful of times, and only ever once on TV. I can't even fathom how much his wardrobe cost over the course of the neon cowboy years.

Well this thread just says alot about the modern downturn in WWE doesn't it?
The fact that Bret Hart, Macho Man and Shawn Michaels are leading the discussion shows there isn't a modern WWE male equivalent in costume iconography.

I dunno, Cena had a ton of varients, there's the various demon Balors, Seth has had some great ones and that's top of my head.

I did really like Seth's Mania 34 Kingslayer look. ![](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ4JBaeBNfYDbVJgDL5ScWqLMLCPSSPzV78TA&usqp=CAU) Not so much the gear but those sapphire contacts

The New Day would be perfect for cataloguing, especially since they try and put a lot of meaning into their kits.

It's kinda kickass.

I really liked WCW-era Rey's Phantom and sorta- Spider-Man gear, and felt that they got the effect better than some of his Wrestlemania cosplay gears. Speaking of, I'm torn on if I like Big Swole's Tuxedo Mask, Storm, or Yellow Ranger gear most. I think yellow ranger looks the best, but all three are such kickass ideas for wrestling attires Speaking of AEW attires, I'm still unreasonably upset Butcher and Blade seemed to have stop wearing the white clockwork orange/natural born killers/eurotrash clubber attire. It was perfect.

For Bret I'm quite partial to the black singlets with the white paint splatter, like the one he had at Rumble 94. ![](https://i.redd.it/d3qt8e8581y51.jpg) See, I'm far too juvenile to do anything but laugh at the white paint splatter. I think that's all that needs saying there

Always drove me mad cause otherwise I always loved his attire. You can see the logic behind having a heart logo be off-centre, but then you realise it's down at his stomach.
Also, I think prefer Vader's original singlet/mask combo over the one he'd use in mid-90s. I suspect the mask to be more divisive, but the Red/Black singlet just said "Vader Time" just feels a bit too smalltime for me.

Barry Windham’s whole Widow Maker look.
Rick Rude whenever he had his opponents face on his pants. Warrior, Jake the Snake, Jake the Snake’s wife, Sting.
Sometimes crow Sting wore white boots. It was a small touch but looked really good. Neon green and black for surfer Sting. And idc I liked the wolf pack look too.
