You don't notice just how revealing the traditional wrestling outfit of skin-tight pleather knickers is until a superstar adds a shirt to the ensemble.
That reality was brought into full focus on the 13 October 2008 episode of Raw, when Batista inserted his sizable frame into World Heavyweight Champion and then bugbear Chris Jericho's non-title match against CM Punk, declaring himself the official.
On commentary, Jerry Lawler joked that The Animal couldn't find a referee top big enough, as his continental traps literally burst out of the stripy top. Apparently, he couldn't rustle up a pair of trousers either, creating the supremely weird visual of a referee seemingly in a state of minor undress.
Batista also forgot to put his contacts in; whilst counting a pin for Jericho, he rather unfortunately got something in his eye, and had to pull up at two. Already cross about his optical agony, Big Dave was having none of Y2J's complaints, and Batista Bombed him into oblivion, handing Punk the win. The referee's decision is final.
Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
