Jesse Ventura – WrestleMania 2
You know some things should always work, jewel-encrusted broaches, feather boas, sunglasses… but not in this case. I am baffled by a number of things with this look (mainly why all of it has been put together tbh) but my main issue here is the beads. The rest of the outfit could be somewhat forgiven or even forgotten in the depths of time if it wasn’t for the beads. They make absolutely no sense or connect to any other part of the outfit. Baffling!
Macho Man Randy Savage – WrestleMania 9
You know, I didn’t think I had a limit to how much shininess and iridescent something could be until I saw this outfit. I understand that there was a Roman theme for this WrestleMania, but I still don’t think it’s a good enough excuse for this outfit.
I wouldn’t mind all the shine and clash of colours if it didn’t have one of the most terrible patterns I have ever seen. Just look at it, the more you notice the more horrifying this outfit is. Look at the hat!!
John Cena – WrestleMania 22
So I have no issue with people dressing up, I think I have made this clear. However, what got me with this outfit of John Cena’s has less to do with the imagery around it (which was weird when he isn’t from Chicago) but more to do with how half-assed it was. You got Cena coming out wearing an oversized coat, hiding a Tommy gun, but underneath he is wearing the exact same attire he wears every week.
What is the point of this? Either go the whole damn hog or leave it alone and let someone who is actually from Chicago show their pride… Hey CM Punk!
The Headbangers – WrestleMania 16
So let’s break this outfit down… We have a see-through mesh fluorescent orange top, a black bra with zebra print pointed cups, a pair of white shorts (not short shorts though) and a see-through skirt that is missing its side bits. WTAF?!? Why was this outfit even thought up? I could understand that bra and the skirt together or the shirt and shorts together, but to just layer up and hope for the best was a bad, bad move. This is just terrible.
Brother Love – WrestleMania 5
Brother Love was before my time really, I was only 3 when WrestleMania 5 happened. But I do understand that his character was meant to be a red-faced, smarmy and annoying preacher. His regular attire makes sense to that character. What does not make sense is why he is dressed in a kilt and wearing kilt hose (that is the name for the knee-length socks).
The outfit is bizarre and the whole situation is made worse for how uncomfortable the whole segment is. It truly is my most WTF outfit and moment of rewatching WrestleMania. It just looks like you are taking the pish out of Scottish people and not in a banter kind of way.
So there we go. What a ride it has been! We have seen the tops and bottoms of this juggernaut that we call WrestleMania.
Now I know there will be lots of people who will disagree with my list, think I have missed people out or that I have been too harsh. I say to you all if you don’t like it…write your own damn list (and send it to me please). Peace out and watch WrestleMania 37!
