People wrestling in a T-shirt is a very controversial topic, but as a fair man, I'd prefer to go on a case-by-case basis as to whether it's a deliberate artistic choice or just trying to hide a beer gut. In the case of Tommy Dreamer, I think we can all agree that nobody ever needs to see him shirtless, even in the 90s.

There's so much gear you can wear to hide that though. Tons of fat wrestlers have gotten by with singlets and pants or whatever. Even Bigelow would wear what was essentially a t-shirt and pants but it looked like gear, not something you grabbed off the merch stand on the way into the ring. Even Owens at least rips the arms off his shorts and has those shorts and kickpads as well

Konnan had two distinct periods of awful gear - his initial run in Mexico where he had lovely braids and Easter Egg-colored singlets, and then the WCW run where his pants sagged so low that he could barely move.

dromal phrenia posted:How many wrestlers do cosplay-style gear with any regularity? I know Rey and Alexa have both done a number of superhero references in their ring gear. I can think of a few that just cribbed a look from someone (the aforementioned Low-Ki Hitman gear for instance) but who else varies it up? Do any wrestlers do tribute gear of other wrestlers? The OGTs did full cosplay at Rey de Reyes this year. Volador Jr does it in big matches. Niebla Roja is a He-Man cosplay 24/7

flashy_mcflash posted:If you ever wear an event shirt for the event you're wrestling on as entrance or ring attire, I'm never going to care about you again. Tommy Dreamer's gear is the most unforgivable in all of wrestling by a wide margin. I like it, because in my head his gimmick is "oh, Tommy showed up again, well if we give him a t-shirt, some hot dogs, and a place to sleep we can put him in the undercard I guess"

It's by pure chance that I didn't blow both my arms off trying to pretend to be Max Moon with roman candles as a kid.
