10 WWE Superstars Who Don't Dress The Part

Once upon a time, everything about Ron Killings made sense. As K-Kwik, he took on the resident rapper role and performed “Getting’ Rowdy” with Road Dogg. Although his initial run was short-lived, Killings dressed the part, albeit a bit passé even at the time: sagging jeans, jerseys, bandanas, and chains.

Upon returning to the WWE as R-Truth, Killings continued along the same path as K-Kwik until he quickly transformed into a ruthless heel, one who once even challenged the likes of John Cena. During this time, R-Truth dressed in mostly black and tightened up his chains, and since then not much has changed.

R-Truth still dresses to the rapper role but no longer raps outside of his entrance, which itself doesn’t add anything to his character. In terms of storytelling, you don’t put a gun in a room if you don’t intend on using it. Much the same way, why present a wrestler as a rapper if he isn’t going to act like a rapper?

And in terms of dressing like badass R-Truth, he doubled-down on the look by adding a bulletproof vest. Essentially, he is a jobber dressed just like Roman Reigns. If someone tuned in for the first time, they might think Killings is a top villain. Assuming R-Truth remains a sacrificial lamb for the remainder of his career, there is no real need to make his persona look strong. The Brooklyn Brawler dressed like a bum; Tito Santana toned down the colors upon serving as a jobber-to-the-stars in his later years. While looking strong can help get the other superstar over, it can also add doubt when the loser looks like he could pick a fight with most anyone and win.
