10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Oct 27)

6. John Morrison Once Paid $10,000 For His WWE Ring Gear

John Morrison's decision to leave WWE in late-2011 came as a surprise. The guy was always on the cusp of becoming a headliner, but he wanted more control over his schedule and to recuperate from bothersome neck issues. Since departing, Morrison hasn't returned to WWE and regularly laughs off suggestions he might during interviews.

That doesn't mean he won't talk about his time in the promotion though. On the latest episode of Sean Waltman's X-Pac 1, 2, 360 podcast, Morrison recalled loosening the purse strings so he would look great on television. Brace yourselves, because one ring jacket and pair of tights cost him around $10,000. Yikes.

Morrison spared no expense when it came to his wardrobe in WWE. Looking back, it's logical that all the flashy outfits he wore (including robes adorned with gems and crystals) would have cost a pretty penny. 10k is something else however. That's Ric Flair levels of investment.
