10 Best & 10 Worst Dressed WWE Superstars Of 2017

9. Worst - Kassius Ohno (NXT)

Kassius Ohno was not brought back to NXT because he'd got himself into more aesthetically pleasing shape than before he exited the brand at the very end of 2013. Nor should he concern himself with calls to lose weight or adjust his body type if his employers remain happy with his work. Happy they should be too, following his spectacular effort against Lars Sullivan in the NXT TakeOver: WarGames opener.

The more experienced Ohno was selfless as the seasoned pro taking an absolute hammering from a new indestructible foe. His current attire may look as though he's sporting a basketball-themed baby-grow, but it was the only comical portion of an otherwise exceptional enhancement effort.

His televised stare-down with Sullivan in the run-up was decidedly less elegant.

Shawn Michaels popularised not wearing wrestling attire for non-match segments in WWE as yet another stick to beat Bret Hart with in 1996, and he was (in)famous for his shocking style. However, this is where a superstar physique does count for something beyond just giving Vince McMahon a fluttering heart. Ohno's...normal body type requires a specific look just to wrestle, let alone turn-out for afters. Sullivan was destined to squash him anyway, but it was a good job - Kassius looked like a rail-hopping fan.
