10. Seth Rollins: White Attire

Seth Rollins looked pristine at SummerSlam 2015.

His all-white attire is so fondly remembered that it has become iconic. It looked striking it itself, but it also captured Rollins in the form of his career. The Rollins of 2015 was an exhilarating, super-crisp worker of awesome conditioning, stringing together fabulous, lung-bursting sequences that accentuated his slimy, escapologist character.

That gear, at that time, was simply made for him, and through all the d*ckhead Twitter posturing, the jeers, and the awful, overbooked nonsense of his 2019 main events, fans still hold a connection with that lost version of the performer. But Vince McMahon hated the attire, and so we'll never see it again. At a recent convention, a fan asked Rollins why he hasn't worn it since.

The answer was peak Vince:

"No, Vince won't let me wear it, because he's a weird old man who doesn't understand that people think it's the coolest gear they've ever seen."

Christ, he's a d*ck to everybody, isn't he? Even the master whose bidding he does, even to the cost of friendships and his actual appeal. He at least has a point this time: wearing that gear is a guaranteed pop, even for the biggest heel in wrestling.

Little buddy, if your nose is that far up Vince's insides, shouldn't it be close enough to his ear to have a word?
