We get it cosplay is a thing now, a universally-accepted method of showing your love for an anime, TV show, comic book any franchise of popular culture, really. But the people that dress up as wrestlers are taking it just a little bit too far. We know that you love them. Youve spent hundreds on their merchandise and live events over the years, perhaps thousands. If youve attended Wrestlemania, you may have had to mortgage your house. And were not going to judge people for turning up to events or conventions dressed up its all part of the fun, and those ginger kids who dress up like Sheamus are adorable. But when youre walking down the street and see someone whos clearly deliberately the spitting image of his or her pro wrestling idol, its a moment that takes you aback. Exactly what is missing from the brain of someone that does this? And why is it nearly always Kane you see cosplayed at conventions? Questions for the ages, the most fundamental of which is: why, when you Google people dressed as wrestlers, does a picture of the Miz come up?
