Best to lead with open honesty in the first line than trick you during the last, but some of the meanings or motifs identified on attires in this particular list weren't all that hidden. But then The Horror Show At Extreme Rules wasn't all that much of a wrestling show either sooo...score draw?

Yet another production of the Ongoing Global B*stard Era as promoted by the original ongoing global b*stard himself, the July pay-per-view was another look at what a bunch of old rich white dudes think of when they're asked to be experimental. Another glimpse at how some disconnected millionaires think some wrestlers will connect best through the screen without chance to do so in packed arenas. Another chance to bring Bray f*cking Wyatt back even though the new version of the character had to literally cut him in half with a chainsaw to try and banish his very memory.

It was also another show where not that many folk thought too intensely about their gear, or at least didn't inspire us to think too much. Understandable during the circumstances, but all of the following deserve extra affection for providing something else to analyse beyond an otherwise-wretched event.

Here's to when wrestling gear is far better than the wrestling show...

Bit of a bugger this, because it appeared as though Cesaro had gotten some new trunks made just two weeks ago in order to match Shinsuke Nakamura's black jumpsuit.

They clearly had the synergy to hold gold, but 'The King Of Strong Style' fancied getting weird AF with some foreshadowing too. Moving away from the 'Swiss Superman's look, he added superb blue vertical stripes as if he were fighting a battle for Brand Supremacy by itself and clueing everybody in that he'd be leaving with a new horizontal one too.
