10 Surprising Hidden Meanings Behind Famous Wrestling Attires
8. Red Dead Redemption
A weird phenomenon that could perhaps be mere fluke rather than intention, Ric Flair had an atrocious record whenever he turned out for singles matches in his red wrestling gear.
Resplendent as always on entry, 'The Nature Boy's red attire more-often-than-not foreshadowed a major defeat, most notably during his WWE tenure.
As a two-time champion in 1992, he surrendered both prizes in vermilion, first to Macho Man Randy Savage and later to Bret Hart. Hoofed out of the 1993 Royal Rumble in identical clobber, he was then eradicated from WWE completely in a loss to Mr Perfect, still sporting the same trunks.
It wasn't an issue exclusive to WWE. Hulk Hogan chased him temporarily out of WCW altogether by virtue of his calamitous Halloween Havoc 1994 steel cage match victory.
Nearly a decade later, he hadn't learned his lesson, becoming the tenth performer to fail at toppling The Undertaker's WrestleMania undefeated streak. He was only able to partially break the hex two years later in a multi-man match won by Evolution after Randy Orton pinned Mick Foley.
