10 Wrestling Attires We Only Saw Once (And Why)

10. Rey Mysterio - Silver Surfer

When Rey Mysterio disappeared off WWE television for a while towards the end of 2006 due to an ACL injury, fans were left wondering when they'd have the chance to see the masked sensation dart around the ring once again.

Then it was finally announced that Mysterio would be making his triumphant return at SummerSlam 2007 against Chavo Guerrero, ten months after he was put out of action by his rival on an episode of SmackDown.

Everyone in the building was clearly overjoyed when they saw Mysterio burst up through the floor kitted out as the Fantastic Four villain the Silver Surfer - a nod to the F4 sequel which was also released that year. Well, everyone except one man.

WWE Chairman Vince McMahon did not approve of Mysterio's creativity on this occasion and he even went as far as to state that this was 'not Rey' when lambasting agent Dean Malenko for approving the attire.

Mysterio had produced some stellar superhero inspired gears before this - like his The Flash and Captain America iterations - but this was a rare misstep for the legendary luchador which was quickly retired soon after he'd put away Guerrero.
