10 WWE Wrestler Attires That Paid Tribute To Other Wrestlers
4. CM Punk - Randy Savage (Raw, 23rd May 2011)
CM Punk wasn't far from cutting the most important unscripted promo of his career when he paid tribute to the man that was such a stickler for the details that he prepared copious notes for the layout of every single match.
'The Voice Of The Voiceless' was the public face of an entire industry in mourning for the loss of Randy Savage just days earlier, and selected one of his many sensational looks as attire inspiration at the earliest available opportunity.
The pink tights/yellow kneepads and boots combo was a staple of Savage's 80s get-up, most prominently worn for his epic WrestleMania III Intercontinental Title scrap with Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat.
In images, the Nexus arm band looks more like a show of respect to the Macho Man, and probably was on the night. The character he'd become within weeks was a million years away from the p*ss poor stable his character had less and less links to with every passing week.
