8 Wrestlers Who Gear Up For Big Matches

1. Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio WrestleMania 22
WWE

Whether he's evoking superhero influences or rocking a full Aztec-style headdress, Rey Mysterio has been wrestling in specialty gear for marquee matches ever since the WCW days.

The first truly memorable one was the question mark-covered purple bodysuit from Halloween Havoc when he battled Eddie Guerrero. But over the years, he has incorporated the iconography of Daredevil, The Flash, The Joker, Captain America, and the Na'vi from Avatar into his ring gear in order to make a statement.

But it was the aforementioned Aztec headdress and golden gear from WrestleMania 22 that brought him his greatest success, as he captured World Championship gold that night in a triple threat match with Randy Orton and Kurt Angle.

Whether battling for championship gold in Lucha Underground or innumerable titles in WWE, Rey Mysterio is truly El Rey when it comes to gearing up for a big match.
