8 WWE Secrets You Can Spot Early (If You Really Pay Attention)
1. Certain Gear Means Certain Defeat
We all have lucky pieces of clothing. Whether it is a shirt you wore when things went well or a pair of Oddballs boxers that seem to bring you much joy, human beings are notoriously superstitious when it comes to attire. It stands to reason that pro wrestlers are equally superstitious, albeit in a more negative fashion.
Ric Flair's illustrious career is long over but there were plenty of patterns to keep fans intrigued during his active years. Close your eyes and imagine The Nature Boy; what colour trunks is he wearing? Blue maybe, or black? It won't be red, that's for sure. If Flair was wearing red, that was a sure sign that he was doing the job that night. It wasn't an exact science, but the evidence certainly leans in that direction. Classic Flair, flying in the face of recognised science.
The same is true in the opposite. If a star debuts sparkly new gold gear at a major pay-per-view, put the house on them winning. Okay, maybe not the house, but visual gold often leads championship gold. Every so often the finish of a match is telegraphed by something as simple as the trunks a wrestler is wearing.
