17 Things You Probably Missed From WWE SmackDown (April 30)

6. Elias Rocking Some Sid Justice Gear

This is one for the old-schoolers.

Elias' special enforcer gear was almost identical to the striped vest worn by Sid Justice at SummerSlam 1991. Back then, big Sid was refereeing Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior vs. Sgt. Slaughter, General Adnan and Col. Mustafa. That match, believe it or not, wasn't as good as Roman Reigns vs. Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel.

Good on Eli for kicking it old-school and paying homage to another well-muscled worker. Elias is a 'Drifter' too, so he's "from anywhere he damn well pleases" like Sid.
