I find it funny that John Cena looks incredibly wrong in specifically full length jeans. No other pants are quite so weird. Even the yellow pants were relatively okay. Just full length jeans look horrible on him as ring gear. Probably the dissonance of being similar to what the norm is, but fundamentally different.

Cena in jeans is a Mandela effect. I JUST WATCH CENA IN THE RUMBLE 2003. I could have sworn he work black shorts with the Astros jersey.

[@duffman18]

HBK's tights would have been fine if they were finished. Just imagine it, with blue hearts across all of them. It would have looked ace. Probably would have looked even better with proper wrestling boots on instead of cowboy boots too, or, you know, the motocross boots that HBK used to wear and Dolph Ziggler still wears. I can't remember anyone wearing them before HBK, so I'm pretty sure he invented it. But yeah on the day of the match he turned up to pick up his tights from the guy who made them and they weren't even close to finished. So he had no time to fly home and pick up an old pair of tights, he was stuck with these ones. But yeah it's a shame. Cos I think that they get unfairly maligned a bit, if they were covered all over by blue hearts then they would have looked great. And his terrible haircut was also an accident. He never planned on coming back to wrestling after his street fight match with HHH. So he had his hair cut right after the summerslam match. But then all of a sudden WWE wants to give him another match and even a run with the world title, so he had to try and grow as much hair back as possible between then and survivor series. Which was only 2 or 3 months. So he grew back what he could but it wasn't enough. He could have worn extensions but those probably would have looked even worse, and probably would have fallen out during the match which would have just been embarrassing Similar to The Undertaker as Wrestlemania 20. He got buried alive as biker taker with short hair at survivor series 2003 and came back as dead man taker at the following wrestlemania only a few months later in 2004, so he didn't have long enough to grow his hair back completely, and it looked terrible. Also his ring gear sucked ass compared to his various ring gear from the years in the attitude era leading up to becoming biker taker. His big shoulder pad mortal kombat ninja (except black) look he had at wrestlemania 14 against Kane, looked much better. When he came back as the dead man he just kept on wearing what he'd been wearing as a big Evil taker except with fewer red logos and stuff. It sucked ass. Even his ministry of darkness look was much better, you know, goth leather strap-on kink taker. Undertaker after his return as the deadman was just boring compared to prime deadman taker.

[@tydune2631]

[@methbear3787]

I once went to a WWE Live event and saw Alberto Del Rio sporting long black tights. It was very odd looking and people were confused. Guess he was experimenting with them and didn’t like them.

Angle may have ditched that attire, but that didn't stop it from reappearing in a couple of video games, namely Smackdown vs Raw, and Day of Reckoning. I think he wore it in the WrestleMania 21 game too, if memory serves me right. Oh yeah, I do remember HBK's brown attire being in Smackdown: Here Comes the Pain as well.

To make matters worse, once he finally ditched those for a while, he reverted to some golden diaper-like trunks for seemingly, the entirety of 2020. Thankfully, Okada seems to have learned his lesson and is currently sticking to his usual shorts for now.
