1. The Showstopper Literally Could Have Stopped The Show
There could be no winner here except Shawn Michaels. His tights, trousers and chaps over the years have been dopey but brilliant, gaudy pile-ups in leg-warming form but two sets of ring attire spring best to mind when considering the worst of all of his outfits. Many people say that his look upon arriving for the Elimination Chamber match at Survivor Series 2002 was the worst HBK has ever sported on WWF/E television. The turd-brown tights werent finished, and were worn with what appeared to be matching cowboy boots. The waistcoat and chaps were covered in chains and little mirrored panels, making him even more look like a disco rodeo cowboy than usual. But the crowning glory was the absence of his crowning glory: Michaels had had a haircut. More precisely, Michaels had a bob: a savage trim of his long, flowing locks to just above shoulder level. Its literally the worst haircut that anyone has ever had, and Ive had a few snarlers in my time. I really thought that de-style would have to be it: and then I happened across this image of Shawn Michaels on commentary on an episode of RAW on December 5th 1994. He looks like a zebra in stormtrooper fetish gear. Theres no call for this, no call at all - and no excuse, either.
