10 Strange Wrestling Attire Choices - Explained

10. Shawn Michaels Looks Like A Soccer Mom At Survivor Series 2002

Shawn Michaels experimented with his colour scheme a bit during his first major singles run.

He would often wear red, in the early-to-mid 1990s, to symbolise his status as a heel heartthrob. Deeper into the decade, he celebrated his rise to the main event as a babyface by wearing white and gold at WrestleMania XII. This was a fantastic choice; the former colour represented the innocence of the "boyhood dream," and the gold symbolised his realisation of it.

Despite a phenomenal run of matches, the bit didn't take. He wasn't a draw at that level - people didn't buy the act, nor his association with Jose Lothario - and so he turned heel in 1997 and wore black, as bad guys do. He also wore just his kegs, to quote an immortal line from Bret Hart's autobiography, to represent "the stripper that he must have been in a previous life".

Less fantastic was his gear at Survivor Series 2002, at which he realised the dream once again after four years in grim exile.

Adopting brown as "earth" to symbolise his "creation by God," it looked like Shawn had sh*t himself. The bowl cut didn't much help this inadvertent "soccer mom" look, which he abandoned immediately thereafter.

He's still sh*tting himself to this day, however, when he logs onto ShowBuzzDaily on Thursdays.
