Growing up during the Ruthless Aggression Era, I loved HBK's attire and always looked forward to each WrestleMania as he always debuted a new design every WrestleMania. I like RVD's and Rey Mysterio's designs as well, but they felt generic because they didn't really have many distinguishing signature features and they switched them up so often you couldn't pick a favourite because it didn't last long enough. HBK would wear one or two designs for an entire year and have a separate design for DX/tag team matches, so even when I watch any of Shawn Michaels' matches today, I can immediately tell which year it is from because his attire is so iconic.
I don't know. To me there has always been something about RVD's look that seems really, really unique and memorable. I can't even explain it; I can't put my finger on it and it really doesn't look like it "should" be memorable. I feel like it's a combination of his particular build and the cut of the singlet or something...but even though I think that's what it was, I still don't know how either was particularly unique. But to me it was; I feel like no one looks like him. Growing up I didn't even think of HBK as doing a "pretty boy heel" type character. Not until very recently when I heard descriptions of him did I realize that's really what he was doing. But it was such a different type of pretty boy heel, with the "rock star" thing and with HBK's unique personality. He was cool. It was a really unique take on the archetype.
I never realized how good of an idea the Crow was from a visual perspective when Sting decided to downsize his physique. It really worked as a great way to deal with that change and do something "larger than life" that worked without the imposing physique, and was radically different so as to be a clean break that doesn't invite comparison.
Kane , Bret Hart , Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Bam Bam Bigelow , Macho Man , Road Warriors, Big Boss Man , Adam Bomb , Gold Dust , is the correct guys in no order . But I’d give it to Undertaker on both originality and practically, I mean he could walk in public like that and still draw eyes .
Back in the '80s, a Charlotte, NC TV station would have a once-a-year telethon to raise money for a certain charity (I can't remember which one). Ric Flair would donate one of his robes to be auctioned off for the charity, plus he would be one of the people manning the phones to take pledges for the telethon.
A cool fact, in order to help Rocky Johnson when he was still barely making money, he would ask Lia Maivia to help maintain his robe when he was on the road. The rock confirmed it when they were doing a roast on him
RICK RUDE!!! his tights and robes were always impressive. Jeff Hardy is another who has cool attire and i always loved Debra's PPV outfits - always eyecatching and sparkly.
Kurt Angle and RVD had great singlets. Lol the clip of the Captain America attire being showcased is Rey getting dropped on his head. It was simple but I loved Edges different tights once he became a main eventer. Macho Man had great gear, but I love his nWo attire.
@Reinhardbonnke688 he was Chad Gables' partner before they split them up and used Jason as Kurt Angle Illagitimate son. American Alpha i think their team was called
I think I read somewhere is out of spite for Kurt and he himself has confirmed it in his recent interviews.Vince was petty over him leaving to TNA so upon his return, they do not really consider his input much thoughts. He actually preferred Gable due to seeing the similarities
Not including Christian's all timer entrance gear from 2004 - 2009 is a crime, during that period he wore some of the cleanest, colorful and unique gear in wrestling that made him stand out and feel like a main event talent.
8:42 The very last mask that ever felt like you were watching Kane perform Everything after that was just Glenn Jacobs 😢 Not trying to knock Glenn… I get that he felt the character was stale, but even using the 8:42 half-mask could’ve given him a lot more to do (until he dipped his toes in movies/cut his hair) The worst thing they ever did to his character wasn’t even the unmasking because that did produce some memorable moments… but rather when they **RE-MASKED** him… That bland, lifeless ring-gear looked like a modified pair of ballet tights with some barbed wire screenprinted on it, and that welders mask ~over~ that cheap looking fruit rollup mask with a thrift store knockoff of a Spirit Halloween wig just looked awful I get that he’d put on some weight and wasn’t the physical force he once was and that his classic gear wouldn’t have fit/looked right… but they should’ve put more into that ring-gear at the very least Add some airbrushing to the fruit rollup mask so it pops a little more… re-work/recreate his original half-mask so it goes back further on his head so they could attach a better dark brown wig that actually looked good rather than the horrid looking black one Or just let him rock the classic half-mask with stubble hair (keep it stubble to avoid the awkward growing out look) At least he could’ve still *LOOKED* somewhat like Kane, even if his body/age wasn’t allowing him to be as dominant as he once was
15:28 Not many coulda turned an obvious wardrobe mishap into comedy gold while still looking legit and pulling off their character so damn well Oh it’s true, it’s damn tr- -oops, wrong one
Randy Savage? With those gay tassel-sleeve shirts? No thanks one of the worst looks ever. The three stars trunks was one of the best! Perc Angle ECW wrestling machine was his best attire. Warrior’s original look was iconic, the body-singlet however was awkward. Crow-Sting sucked. TNA Joker-Sting was cool as shit! HBK never had a bat attire…except that one time
Kane & Undertaker never skipped a beat with their early attires. even the rare ones.
And then Taker wore The Godfather's snakeskin trousers 😂
@@joshcrapper864 i think it still fit him honestly
Kane, in his original and second outfits were my favorite.
You love men in spandex 😂😂😂
Definitely his first entrance. It made him.
The inverted outfit he wore in ‘99 and 2000 was my fav
The large glove and cuff was menacing to see as a child it made him look a lot more like Meyers
Honorable mention is Rick Rude he wore different airbrushed tights to the ring during his career
The outfit kane wore in 2000 and 01 were my favorites
Undertaker always looked cool when he brought back the Deadman. He looked like Hugh Jackman in Van Helsing.
They shoulda included jeff hardy
Edit- he must have seen my comment, there's a part two and jeff is first
No Jeff Hardy.... Its sad ...
8:52 Kane enjoying a cold one at the office 😂
While choke slamming triple h😂😂
Kane’s red and black inverted attire doesn’t get much recognition
Sting in a sting mask will forever be the most iconic thing in wrestling
Sting making the transition is f-ing perfect
kane, taker, mr 619 and hbk always had the coolest gear

The British Bulldog's Union Jack attires were a personal favorite of mine.
Kane's attires are like the best thing ive ever seen a wrestler wear.
Warrior not only had diffrent color paint n trunks he also had diffrent color belts
"Crazed Menace" is one of the best phrases I've ever heard to describe the Ultimate Warrior
It's a crime you mentioned RVD but didn't show his Green Ranger singlet
Jeff Hardy? John Morrison?
Kane unmasking with the burnt face scared me as a kid
Great list!! Some of the most captivating and iconic wrestling attires. I absolutely loved “Crow Sting”.
I never realized how good of an idea the Crow was from a visual perspective when Sting decided to downsize his physique. It really worked as a great way to deal with that change and do something "larger than life" that worked without the imposing physique, and was radically different so as to be a clean break that doesn't invite comparison.
As a kid I always loved Rey Mysterio and Rob Van Dam’s attires. And to extend still some the best attires in wrestling.
Kane's inverted black and red outfit was WAY too short-lived.
Kane , Bret Hart , Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Bam Bam Bigelow , Macho Man , Road Warriors, Big Boss Man , Adam Bomb , Gold Dust , is the correct guys in no order . But I’d give it to Undertaker on both originality and practically, I mean he could walk in public like that and still draw eyes .
Glacier and mortis always looked badass.
Agreed

Hands down it's kane! IT'S GOT TO BE KANE!
RICK RUDE!!! his tights and robes were always impressive.
Jeff Hardy is another who has cool attire and i always loved Debra's PPV outfits - always eyecatching and sparkly.
the shawn micheal’s attire he had when he faced the british bulldog at one night only was fire
I have to say Rey always sported some fly gear. Him and Bianca she makes her own.
Prime Kane was a beast. Dude was huge. made Tanker look small.
I would like though Kane was big strong and solid.
2:18 gaahhddamn JR snapped lol.
Lawler: Heath Ledger's Joker, what do you think JR?
JR: I think Rey's career is alive and well, King.
Holy shit lol.
Rey Mysterio, Randy Savage, Rob Van Dam and Bianca Belair.
Sting,undertaker,HHH and HBK.
Ur mom, ur mum, ur mam, ur mem
Bianca belair?
Bianca doesn't belong in there
Bro slide Bianca in there
Rey Mysterio's full body costume looks like the Phantom, The Ghost Who Walks
Kane in that costume was a massive and a machine, he was huge , big than anyone in today's roaster, makes bron strowman seem small 😂
I wish some of these guys had a lot of alts in the games since you could be so creative with it
Warrior was definitely on cocaine😭😭
Steroids.
Rey Mysterio, Macho Man, Ultimate Warrior, Sting, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, RVD have the best wrestling attires.
Kurt Angle and RVD had great singlets. Lol the clip of the Captain America attire being showcased is Rey getting dropped on his head. It was simple but I loved Edges different tights once he became a main eventer. Macho Man had great gear, but I love his nWo attire.
Scott Hall Had cool attires in WWE and WcW
Inverted and BoD Kane are my favourite
2000/2001 Singlet Kane is the best. Inverted 1 Sleeve attire was amazing too
"is that Heath Ledger's joker?" "i think Rey's career is alive and well"
... That's cold
2:20 this really happened? It looks like a fever dream...
Full MASKED KANE ❤🔥
Wonder if rey mysterio jr still has the attire he wore whilst being maskless
I don't know why they used Jason Jordan for Kurt Angle Illagitimate son. They should've used Chad Gable.
Whose is Jason Jordan I have not seen him in wwe
@Reinhardbonnke688 he was Chad Gables' partner before they split them up and used Jason as Kurt Angle Illagitimate son. American Alpha i think their team was called
I think I read somewhere is out of spite for Kurt and he himself has confirmed it in his recent interviews.Vince was petty over him leaving to TNA so upon his return, they do not really consider his input much thoughts. He actually preferred Gable due to seeing the similarities
@s4xtt ok thanks for letting me know.
Why is Jeff Hardy not on the list?
Especially his Glow in the dark Paint era. It was so cool. 🔥
Bruh....Jonny Nitro / John Morrison how can udo such injustice 2 outfit tht he wore
Yeah, they really should have put in Jeff Hardy, Goldust, and at least one Diva.
I really liked Kurt Angle red white an blue camo singlet thought it was super cool
I have never accepted Crow-Sting as legitimate. Surfer-Sting is the only true Sting. It's been a rough 25 years...
Sting's The Crow look was fucking awesome.
I think Jeff Hardy deserves a shout out
3:33 RVD sounds so different
It happens as u age
He sounds like he's not high 😅
Honorable mentions!!! Chris Jericho and Eddie Guerrero
About to say Jericho cuz he got so many different pair of pants along with Guerrero
Cody's WrestleMania 39 and 40 attire was elite(no pun intended 😅)
Finn Balor should feud with Uncle Howdy in demon outfit
Ravishing Rick Rude should have definitely been on the list.
Max moons gear was awesome
So was the barbarians (from 1990-1992) and the berzerkers
And wcw was la parkas Ciclopes and Rey mysterios masks
Mannn need dat face reveal when u hit a milli
Can you do a video on ppv stage designs
If Balor's Demon attire gets a spot I feel Fiend Character of Bray Wyatt deserved a spot there too
one day, diiiirty dominik mysterio will be the undisputed goat when it comes to ring gears.
Not including Christian's all timer entrance gear from 2004 - 2009 is a crime, during that period he wore some of the cleanest, colorful and unique gear in wrestling that made him stand out and feel like a main event talent.
To be honest Chris Jericho had better attires than Christian at least for me
Rey Ray Got it!!!!! The Ultimate Luchador!!!!!!!! Vince Voice!!!!😂
RVDs airbrush guy probably smoked hella doobies and went buck wild every week 😂😂
No Hardy Boyz!?
8:42
The very last mask that ever felt like you were watching Kane perform
Everything after that was just Glenn Jacobs 😢
Not trying to knock Glenn… I get that he felt the character was stale, but even using the 8:42 half-mask could’ve given him a lot more to do (until he dipped his toes in movies/cut his hair)
The worst thing they ever did to his character wasn’t even the unmasking because that did produce some memorable moments… but rather when they **RE-MASKED** him…
That bland, lifeless ring-gear looked like a modified pair of ballet tights with some barbed wire screenprinted on it, and that welders mask ~over~ that cheap looking fruit rollup mask with a thrift store knockoff of a Spirit Halloween wig just looked awful
I get that he’d put on some weight and wasn’t the physical force he once was and that his classic gear wouldn’t have fit/looked right… but they should’ve put more into that ring-gear at the very least
Add some airbrushing to the fruit rollup mask so it pops a little more… re-work/recreate his original half-mask so it goes back further on his head so they could attach a better dark brown wig that actually looked good rather than the horrid looking black one
Or just let him rock the classic half-mask with stubble hair (keep it stubble to avoid the awkward growing out look)
At least he could’ve still *LOOKED* somewhat like Kane, even if his body/age wasn’t allowing him to be as dominant as he once was
I remember when Mysterio lost his mask in WCW and everybody laughed because hw looked like a 14 year old boy.
Still does.
Definitely should’ve included Bianca she makes her own gear,Rhea,Charlotte and Sasha ( in WWE) only,Liv & Zelina
We just gonna leave The Shockmaster and The Yeti off the list?! 😂
im glad sting learned to wrestle unlike the warrior. the icon
15:28
Not many coulda turned an obvious wardrobe mishap into comedy gold while still looking legit and pulling off their character so damn well
Oh it’s true, it’s damn tr-
-oops, wrong one
The bikini matches with the Divas early 2000’s…😼😼😼
Randy Savage? With those gay tassel-sleeve shirts? No thanks one of the worst looks ever. The three stars trunks was one of the best!
Perc Angle ECW wrestling machine was his best attire.
Warrior’s original look was iconic, the body-singlet however was awkward.
Crow-Sting sucked. TNA Joker-Sting was cool as shit!
HBK never had a bat attire…except that one time
Jeff Hardy should have been on this list.
Where's even the original Jim Ross Classic One Liners
Part 1 Part 2 And Part 3
Do you even removed it ? I wont stop until it's explained.
I wish they would have never taken Kanes mask
How do you not add John Morrison & Jeff hardy to this list?
Seth rolins is the modern macho man according to his attire
Jeff hardy
1. Macho Man 2. Kane 3. The Undertaker thats it ......
Aj styles attire stay fresh asl
Rey's mask came off in this video I looked away
not putting jeff hardy is a crime, shouldve put him
No Jeff Hardy face paint and no Vader mask?
Jeff hardy should have been mentioned
The worst list
#1 La Parka/LA Park
#2 -#10 80s face paint Sting, LOD, Demo, my favorite Powers of Pain, Pap Shango, and Psycholsisss
You definitely missed jeff Hardy here
Nobody comes close to Ravishing Rick Rude......
No Bret Hart is crazy.
We really going to do a list like this and not mention Jeff Hardy?
Uh, IRS? Dude wore a tie to work.
Triple H outfits Double Denim.
H.M: Jeff Hardy
Triple h one attire is purple.
Hollywood Hogan with the feathered boas, weightlifting belt, and sunglasses.
Bret hart is great too
But Bret wasn't the only one wearing that gear....
