A curiosity so bizarre that WWE.com elected to pen a brief explanation of their random emergence in 2003, 'The Game' infamously donned knee length spandex biker shorts for his World Title matches at SummerSlam, Unforgiven and Survivor Series after sustaining a groin injury earlier that summer.

He looked absurd in the gear, but it could be argued that he deserves credit for 'working hurt' and gutting his summer programmes out with the problem-solving attire. That said, few at the time would have probably complained too loudly if he'd actually just disappeared and actually recouperated, rather than sleepwalking through desperately dull clashes with Goldberg and literally sleeping through the bulk of August's Elimination Chamber match.
