Watching ECW, I noticed that the ECW Champion Bobby Lashley is still wearing his plain black bike shorts-like tights. I think that's a bad idea. Steve Austin could pull off the plain black tights look, cause he's Stone f***in' Cold! Lashley is nowhere near the level of the Rattlesnake, yet he's the champion of the ECW brand. He looks real plain as he is right now, and he needs something to make him stand out more.
I think tights help make the wrestler. Good tights can help set up the persona of the wrestler ala Kane, Undertaker, Hurricane, and Chris Benoit. Bad tights just make the person look bad, like MVP, Bubba Ray w/ Short shorts and Shawn Michaels now. All I'm saying now is that Lashley needs to evolve his look, or add some color or something.

I actually think I don't care for Carlito simply because of his tights.

Lashley did wear colors then WWE made him start wearing all black. I recall him wrestling in white trunks with green designs on them or something. White boots, too.

This reminds me of the ROHbots looking for reasons to hate Chris Hero so they pick at his ring attire.

I agree. Lashley needs to have some color in his tights, but then again right now his tights match his personality, bland.

I hope no one from WWE/ECW creative is reading this. They might have Lashley come out next week in a leisure suit and a monocle or something.

i'm glad the got rid of the cartoony claws on beniots tights, but WTF is that design he has now?
I wish Kane would have some sorta fire detail on his tights..kinda like he had in 2001 that would be cool.. It makes sense

It would be easier if Lashley had a gimmick of some sort to decorate his tights with. But I don't think a mouth on his crotch symbolizing 'soft spoken' would go over well.... |

Wasn't Lashley wearing all-white tights/kneepads/elbow pads when he first came in? That looked kind of weird compared to his current attire. If he were to change it, hopefully its just a minor change, like a colored stripe going down the sides or something minimal.
MVP's attire killed his character before he even entered the ring. The long-sleeved/short-short combo is just stupid.

I think attire is important.
A gimmick is about the overall package.
If Stone Cold had gone out there with hot pink tights, his character would not have been as effective.
So it does matter.
