10. The Golden Age Of Wrestling Attire

Finn Bálor recently debuted a grey variant of his traditional ring gear for yet another instalment of his deathly dull feud with Bray Wyatt, and its very possible that the low profile palette adjustment wasn't by accident.

Wrestlers notoriously save their new garb for WrestleMania in the modern age. With the 'Show Of Shows' ordinarily finding a home for virtually every major main roster member, superstars presumably consider the cost of new threads a sound financial investment as they etch themselves in wrestling immortality. This is despite the fact that the wrestling industry on the whole is largely in rude financial health and now more than ever, talent could probably flex their financial and fashionable muscles more often than they do.

Credit then to 1995's neon noblemen. Poverty-stricken in comparison to the parade of millionaires that pillaged the business in the 1980s and nowhere near sharing the wealth amassed by anybody that so much as farted near the Attitude Era, WWE's New Generation cornerstones never failed to add sparkle, shine and style to their business' darkest day. Balance sheets may have been soaked with red ink, but it didn't stop the performers infusing an at-times grim scene with swathes of colour.
