10 of the best wrestling costumes
The world of professional wrestling has its own dress code, but that code is far from uniform (pun intended).
At any given time, when you turn on wrestling, you might see a man in blue jeans, a guy in traditional tights, and a masked wrestler in full body spandex that would make any Olympic bobsledder proud.
And that's okay in the world of wrestling!
Wrestling has always been diverse as part of its marketing strategy. Don't like the patriotic muscle-bound guy? There's a disaffected loner in black jeans who you might cheer for, or a post-apocalyptic tattooed warrior who you might fancy.
That being said, there are some wrestling outfits that stand apart for a variety of reasons. Here are ten wrestlers whose outfits we just can't tear our eyes away from.
#10 Gorgeous George
He came to threaten the masculinity of America, and boy did he ever succeed!
Gorgeous George was a standout in the world of wrestling not just because of his ability, but because his gimmick was so far ahead of its time. In an environment filled with hairy, hyper-masculine grapplers, George chose to be effete and dainty.
His long, flowing robes were often adorned with feathers or flowers, and he never dared to set foot in the ring until it had been thoroughly doused in perfume. His antics riled up the ultra-conservative crowds of his era, but it was his unique look that sold the gimmick.
