In fairness, one of them (I seriously don't know which one is Matt and which is Nick, and don't rightly care) is rocking swanky NJPW tearaway pants. I mean normally tearaway pants aren't all that cool but the NJPW logo helps 'em out.

Is that considered gauche? I imagined that you might get a free steak if you brought your title with you.

Well, maybe just a bowl of chips if you're only the tag champs.

It looks like Andre sneezed them both out of the way.

Also look at how far his strap's moved, Misawa loving laid into him.

Are those the real Ribera jackets that you'll see the big name guys get, or are those the lower-quality ones? I remember someone telling a story about how the guys brought out a poor quality jacket for some wrestler, and one of the "guys" had to wave it to the back to get a real "legit" one.

I doubt it's tough to get a legit Ribera jacket when you are reigning tag champs (junior or not) in the undisputed biggest japanese promotion. even if you bring the belts like dorks.

Now when is someone going to start making knockoffs to sell to goons??

I don't think there's a concrete difference so much as it depends when they were made. Tommy Dreamer mentioned a story about receiving an ill-fitting but good quality jacket for his first or second where the person presenting it informed him it was emblazoned with his name on the back. He only found out later that the text actually spelled out "Road Warrior Animal" instead.

I've seen a couple jackets up for sale on toudoukan (Japanese wrestling/MMA thrift store) before. No idea on the quality, but they didn't mention belonging to any specific wrestlers. I heard a rumor you could buy one as a tourist but it would be lower quality compared to the ones wrestlers get. Sort of like buying a replica.
