I like to imagine Scott Hall called a sports clothing company in character as Razor Ramon and slowly said "hey yo....give me....tights....kneepads....elbowpads....and boots chico......and I want them.....in black.....yellow.....pink.....purple.....green......light blue.....royal blue....." I think that was one of the debut vignettes, before he pushed the tailor into a nearby fountain.

I had no idea Bossman even returned in 01/02. But that post-Invasion period was weird, I think I missed a lot of stuff around then and only really caught up at the next WM. Yeah, it was really brief. He was back and gone again in the space of six months, most of which was spent on Heat and Jakked. He was in the 2002 Rumble but I think was the first person eliminated. WWE had no plans for him basically.

Couldn't find a good pic of it, but very briefly in 2002 or so, Big Boss Man started wearing a grey dress shirt and black suit jacket. I guess it's more similar to his Big Bubba days, but not exactly. youtu.be/LSsF4nYF1W4

Glad they settled on the Stone Cold Skull logo, because just imagine WWF pushing Austin 3:16 shirts that had this logo instead.

In that match with Austin, it looks like Bossman had an away game.

IRS in brown tights I think he wore those on his debut. He came to the ring wearing black trousers that he tore off like velcro.

IRS with his full dress outfit was way more iconic. Also the Razor short tights fit a lot better than the long tights.

After talk of HBK's lack of blue tights earlier in the thread, The Rockers' gear at Royal Rumble 1990 was a kind of blue/purple which, combined with the other secondary colours, would have made a cool theme for his classic mid 90s style I think. I see now though that Marty Jannetty wore similar tights to these several times when wrestling Shawn after the breakup. Maybe that's why HBK didn't wear that kind of colour much, he associated it with Marty or thought the audience would? Or maybe had nothing to do with that, can't wear every colour I guess.

Ahmed's rare Nation of Domination attire. He wore the usual red (adding on like 20 kneepads), and later the black (can't seem to find any pics of him in black studded gear - was this just in Warzone?), but this is uniquely branded Nation gear: He wore that at Summerslam 1997 as well and then he got injured on the same night and was out of the Nation after that

The Nation didn't have a match on the PPV and I don't think was even on the PPV either. I think Ahmed's last match on TV as a heel was even before the July In Your House.

Pretty sure they made a Jannetty Hasbro figure with this attire.

I feel like it was even used for his Rick Martel Summerslam match imagery for WWF magazine but I could be wrong. Hasbro probably based the figure on the 1993 time period though it would have been cool to have a Rockers pack based on the 1991 Rumble but early 1990s Hasbro was a bit behind the times.

Well you are right that The Nation didn't have a match at Summerslam 1997 but they did interfere in the 8 Man Tag Team Match with DOA vs Los Boricuas. Ahmed gave I believe either Crush or Chainz the Pearl River Plunge onto the floor and then just a few minutes later you can see him hobbling around

Speaking of Ahmed... Credit to Dos Incredibles NetworkHere is his early house show attire with an uncanny resemblance to Harlem Heat.
