It looks more like Misawa gear but even that's a stretch.

maybe i missed it but it was a lil jarring to see kingston come out in dark street clothes, mox has his entrance and suddenly kingston is there in fluro green wrestling gear. i thought it was fine though and the match was great

Ah yes, Kings Road, the most non-violent style of wrestling, that no true badass would value.
no lie, a small part of me wanted kingston to win and then feud with omega on the off-chance they would relitigate kings road vs strong style

It's accurate of modern wrestlers, but street thugs would traditionally not value the Kings Road.

Also yeah it looks like Power Rangers. The storyline called for him to wear his best proud street thug gear.

Butt first, let's

The "street thug" thing bugged me but on the other hand he does hang out with Homicide and BLK OUT outside AEW so I was trying to give the OP the benefit of the doubt on that one.

Eddies gear had nothing to do with Misawa it was all about paying tribute to Jason David Frank who played the best colour power ranger.

Sooner or later, the wwe is going to try and get developmental wrestlers classed as interns so they dont have to pay them at all

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Honestly given what we know about NXT pay structure and how they are kept that way until long after their prime age wise so that they're "TV ready" by the age of 38 it's not that much of a stretch.

The Queens Gambit main actress is only 23 right nbow and got her big break in The VVitch at 17. This isn't wrestling and its just what i watched but like people are good young! Top Flight! Imagine actors or actresses had to wait to "work the hard camera" into their 30s.

That was probably instilled in them long before they signed with WWE. The whole "you're never too big to help with the show" mindset is big on the indies. I remember Kevin Steen, who was like a 10 year vet and the PWG champion helping take down a ring in a couple of his vlogs. Although Steen is known for being a good guy. But I doubt he's alone in that.

You are 100% too big to be doing that when you're on national TV working on-screen for a multi-million dollar company though.

No one is saying you aren't, but it's a hard thing to break out of if you come from that kind of background. Not just in wrestling but film, theater, music, etc.

I would also argue that there is a difference between being a nice helpful person and offering to help the hardworking road crew do their job and lighten their load because you have empathy
and
being a 15 year veteran being guilted by company culture and/or explicit orders to do extra physical work outside your job description because the company you currently work for doesn't think you have "paid your dues"
