WWE: 7 Most Ridiculous Outfits Wrestlers Were Ever Forced To Wear

2. Bastion Booger

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPlrtBVE7KA The Bastion Booger was not a good looking man. In wrestling you need those tough looking, toothless, 'can kick your ass in a heartbeat' kind of guys, right? What happens when you put that guy in a giant grey diaper and make him eat lots of food on tv? Bad things happen and you get a character who looks like a giant baby. His gimmick was that he was a glutenous slob who also happened to be a wrestler. In backstage vignettes the Booger would stuff his face with all sorts of food in the most disgusting ways possible. Bastion Booger' s career lasted longer than you might think, while he lost his debut match to Virgil of all people he would eventually manage to get a pinfall victory over Owen Hart and this would be his greatest success. What were they trying to achieve with such a character is beyond comprehension. Did WWE want to gross out their audience or was it all seemingly one big joke. Just look at the outfit, the horrible faded grey tights which were far too short and the then weird straps over his chest which held everything together. They could have put him in a Bam Bam Bigelow style suit, or anything else and it wouldnt have looked anywhere near as disgusting. Sadly, The Bastion Booger, real name Mike Shaw passed away in 2010.
