Hardcore Holly Terrible look as Hollywood Bob Holly Terrible look as Sparky Plugg Terrible look as New Midnight Express And it's not like his trunks were exactly flattering He said of his Sparky Plugg gear that it sucked, but at least it had some colour and he felt he could stand out a little.

The first time I ever saw Justin Gabriel he looked like a baby and the most recent time he looked like a serial killer. Also inbetween in like 2012 he teamed with Tyson Kidd and they both wore the ugliest grey and yellow tanktops you've ever seen.

The last few years of his career Kane looked like a cheap indy rip off version of himself. Like compare the gear Kane had from 2002 to Kane in the mask at any point post 2012, he looks so much crappier post 2012. IMO the inverted color version of his original attire is one of the greatest looks of all time.

They can’t have been that bad… …Honestly, when I was planning to do the bit here, I was expecting worse, but these are just very plain and out-of-place.

Did Owen swipe that exact outfit from Anvil? It's possible. Owen was notoriously frugal and crack heads have been known to sell stuff for real cheap. 🤷♂️

Honestly, while they're dated, the High Energy outfits are at least fun. I can't hate them.
Vader's WWF gear might make the grade, though. I mean, it looked fine, but, Vader did not wash it, citing sumo superstitions about washing the mawashi, which is the gear sumo wear. However, a sumo match often ends in mere seconds, and wrestling bouts can go for much longer. A mawashi is also like 30 feet long, weighing 10 pounds, and is made of silk. While I've seen differing accounts on if Vader *never* washed his gear, or if it was just something he did not do during a tour, either way, it does seem basically universally agreed that he smelled absolutely vile while wrestling him. That's pretty unappealing.

This could be a controversion one, but I'm going with Bam Bam Bigelow's gear during his second WWF babyface run. He went from looking like a badass to a cartoon character.

MJF might be one of the hottest acts in wrestling over the past few years, but his momentum is equaled by how consistently bad his ring attire is.

Honestly like pretty much everything he does, I'm 99% certain the deliberately tacky ring gear is as shamelessly intentional as the Heel Young Bucks' fashion choices. Regardless of where the worked shoot/loose cannon thing is going with him right now, I'd bet money that he's done with the Burberry plaid motif. Tacky entrance robes nonwithstanding, he's had some sneaky good designs on his trunks here and there, to the point that I'm pretty sure when/if he ever fully turns face he'll have a pretty slick look.

The white trunks ruin the whole "crazed anarchist" look for me.

First he lost the cape, then the bodysuit, then the mask and finally his tank singlet. I legit thought the next thing would be him switching from tights to trunks. And while unmasked Kane looked okay at first, by having him go out there shirtless, it made him actually look skinnier and less intimidating. Add to the fact that he has a gross belly button. Just wear a shirt, dude.

I think the only way I could mentally justify it would be as a vague Clockwork Orange homage, but you'd need to have at least -some- other reference to that to really make it work. Also I think it's just a combination of the open jacket and the camera angle, but MAN his proportions look weird in this picture.

Bo Dallas going from his goofy persona in white gear into a bland black and red singlet hurt my soul.

After Hart Foundation split Neidhart started doing commentary on Wrestling Challenge and some house shows. For some reason wearing this outfit. I believe Jim was Flair's first non jobber opponent in WWF. Flair beat Jim while Jim was wearing this outfit on an episode of Superstars in November or December 91. Shortly after Owen was back wearing this eyesore alongside Jim. For the first couple of months post-split Neidhart wore his traditional pink and black gear. Once Bret's push really took off it was clear that they wanted to put as much distance between them as possible, so Neidhart was repackaged. Personally, I thought it was a pretty decent look for him, despite being an awful look for Owen and Koko. Did Owen swipe that exact outfit from Anvil? I thought so at first, as the colour of his pants is the same as Neidhart's, while Owen usually wore purple, but Neidhart's pants lacked the chequered pattern.

Anybody else remember when WCW randomly added Jimmy Del Ray to the Cruiserweight Division as "Jimmy Graffiti" and had him dressed up like this: Only me? Carry on.... This was the precursor to the “How do you do, fellow kids?” meme.

Like compare the gear Kane had from 2002 to Kane in the mask at any point post 2012, he looks so much crappier post 2012. I agree, the remasking of Kane the attire was bad. The welder mask was cool. The mask was ok but look so bad with the fake hair, I know Kane hated the full face covering mask, but damn at less could just brought back the 02-03 design. The attire was just so cheap looking. He should have and could have just worn one of his older attires.

Okay, can we at least admit Korporate Kane in business slacks, shoes and no shirt is worst Kane?

Kane was in team hell no, Dr Shelby told him to retire so he did, neither Kane or Glen Jacobs were ever heard from again. The end. Similar to how British Bulldog retired in 1998, bung up his tights and never wrestled again.
