It's common practice for players in some sports to swap jerseys post-game. The exchange is a tradition in football, and it has even spread into the NFL over the past few years. Meanwhile, over in pro wrestling, some may find it a little odd if Brock Lesnar asked to keep hold of Roman Reigns' chest protector (for example) after a pay-per-view match.

At WrestleMania XXIV, The Undertaker and Edge defied usual WWE practice by deciding they'd like to have some keepsakes to remember their main event by.

On E&C's Pod Of Awesomeness, Edge revealed that he handed over his tights and kick-pads to 'Taker on the basis that he received his opponent's MMA-style gloves in return. It must have been quite the sight to see Edge in his smalls knocking around backstage with The Undertaker's gloves, or 'Taker packing the Canadian's gear into his bags.

Later on the same podcast, Edge said he vacuum packs all of his old tights and ring jackets to preserve them. Let's hope 'Taker wears his 'Mania XXIV gear as jammies.
