10 Wrestling Rules You Had No Idea Existed
3. Baby Blue Trunks Are A No Go In North Carolina... On A Wednesday
Speaking of items of clothing that will land you straight in some bad books, here we have a decree revolving around a certain colour being strictly off limits in a particular place on an exact day of the week.
Though the reasons behind the rule existing in the first place aren't 100% clear to this day, it's said that no wrestler is able to wear the colour of baby blue whilst wrestling in North Carolina... on a Wednesday. And you thought Vince McMahon's nonsensical laws were odd.
Some say this could be a reference to the fact that Ric Flair, a North Carolina native, often decked himself out in the aforementioned baby blue when it came to his signature trunks. Others claim this could be a way to ensure that the University of North Carolina Tarheels, who are also known to wear that specific brand of colour, are not overshadowed.
Whatever the reason, you'll likely never see the likes of Kenny Omega, AJ Styles or any other star fond of infusing some baby blue into their outfit do so whilst locking up in North Carolina on a Wednesday evening.
