10 Wrestlers Who Insulted Their Opponents With Their Attires

10. Rick Rude

The original and best absolute b*stard, Ravishing Rick Rude's airbrushed tights often mocked his opponents inadequacies compared to his reflection of pure manly perfection, but none were as controversial as the time he splashed Jake Roberts' wife all over his gyrating crotch. It doesn't help, on reflection, when considering how much he looked like an upgraded version of 'The Snake' at the time.

Revealing the tights during his SummerSlam 1988 skirmish with Junkyard Dog, Rude assumed he'd be protected from any comeuppance by virtue of his participation in the match.

He got in Jake's head, but found his own the victim to a pounding the second he decided to show the world.

Roberts shot to the ring quicker than he'd ever moved in a match, assaulting his rival with venomous lefts and rights in attempt to claim a slither of revenge for the arrogance-fuelled flex. It fed into the incredible drama of their feud in general, servicing several months of house show and television taping clashes between the two that even included Cheryl Roberts herself as the married couple used the angle to spend more time together in real life.
