Bad Ring Gear
By Scott Keith on December 6, 2014
Hey Scott:
Just finished watching the latest episode of Lucha Underground, which continues to be entertaining (although the commentary could definitely use some work. Anyway, the main event between Big Ryck and Prince Puma was a fine wrestling match, which was marred for me by Ryck's awful middle aged dad gym shorts. He's worn them in two matches now, so apparently that is his look? It's neither threatening or cool looking.
Anyway, thoughts on bad ring gear? Who had the worst? Any guilty pleasures? Am I the only one who gets annoyed by this when watching a match?
Probably not. I remember that dude Sam Shaw in TNA wearing basically gym shorts and sneakers as his gear, which looked low rent even by TNA standards. That was pretty bad. I always hated IRS and his dress shirts, which immediately got drenched in sweat, not to mention that opponents should just choke him out with his tie. That's probably the worst ever. Big Bossman 2.0 and his riot gear seemed like it would be horribly uncomfortable to work in. And of course we can't talk about bad gear without bringing up Naked Mideon.
As far as guilty pleasures, I always liked Shane and his custom made shirts, which gave the aura of a regular guy being a wrestler for fun.
