The Knight Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Not sure if many have wondered this but if you have noticed, the majority of WWE wrestlers are wearing black now. Why do you think that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightViperLord Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Because the majority of viewers are colorblind? Sorry... Honestly... have no clue... WIll have to look next time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fandango 3:16 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Most wear trunks too, everyone looks pretty generic atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSaint. Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 As the saying is: Black goes with anything. So it may be to contrast to the designs on their attired, which is what sets every superstars attire apart really. Either that or it's to contrast with the colours of the shows or something.

The Knight Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 ...are they? Examples? Either you're being a smart ass or idk. But I'm guessing you watch enough wrestling. Contribute and stop trolling. I'm thinking it may have something to do with the transition into HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightViperLord Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I think its got to have to do with having contrast with other colors. Black is very easy to contrast with other colors and usually that will pop much better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 ...are they? Examples? Aksana's whole costume Alex Riley's kneepads Big Show's attire The Bella's often wear black Camacho's vest Jericho's trunks Christian's tights Punk's tights and kneepads Cody Rhodes' kneepads and boots David Otunga's kneepads and boots Dolph Ziggler's trunks on occasion. Kneepads and boots Drew McIntyre's trunks The Rock's attire Epico's tights Bourne's tights Goldust's suit Slater's tights Hornswoggle's clothing Hunico's trousers Swagger's boots The Usos knee and elbow pads, and boots Kane's attire Kharma's attire Mark henry's attire Mason Ryan's attire maxine's attire Natalya's attire Primo's tights R-Truth's trousers Randy Orton's attire Sheamus' attire Tamina'a attire DiBiase's boots and kneepads Taker's attire Barrett's attire Regal's attire Ryder's boots. I think black is just a common colour. If something doesn't need to be a specific colour, it's black. There's no meaning or anything behind it.

Guest Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 The only black attire that really bothers me atm is Christian's. Actually his whole design is getting a bit old imo, he needs to change it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyriqz ✪ Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 It goes with anything and either give the heels something dark and the top guys something serious. Friendly gimmicks like Kofi/Santino ususally only have a small black part in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy. Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hasn't it always been like that? It's the default colour for wrestling attires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightViperLord Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Now that I think back on it, most attries have a lot of black in them... I honestly don't really think its some sort of conspiracy... Just think its a funny think that wrestling fans pick up on sometimes... Happens to gamers too all the time... "Why did you pick up on that one small thing of everything that was done in the game???" says the developer... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
вlueprint⁴ Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 It's been like that for years now since the Attitude Era began. before that era it was super colorful.. ie: HBK, Aldo Montoya, Razor Ramon, Bret Hart... usually the heels wore black in the golden era.... Andre, Dibiase, Bad News Brown, Warlord & Barbarian, Demolition, Papa Shango etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kαятik Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Do we really have to count Knee pads and Wrist bands? As the guy said, black suits with everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightViperLord Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I don't think the knee pads and elbow pads etc. really matter. Most of the wrestlers now have a base black as their color and then a mix of other colors. But you are right, back in the Attitude Era and earlier, color was all the rage in everything... if you were a good guy, color was the way to go...

Guitar Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I'm not trying to be a bastard,but how can any of us really answer this? Maybe it's just black is you know an awesome color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightViperLord Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 But its a conspiracy!!!! Black... yes... you see if you watched the Monday Night Raw 4 years, 3 months and 6 days ago, you would have seen the start of the conspiracy of the color black... Heck, I don't even know if RAW was on that night... anyway... yeah... it's one of those pointless topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazman™ Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I hadn't even noticed that. Maybe they think it can get them over. After all it worked for The Undertaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MopOfVirtue Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 The only black attire that really bothers me atm is Christian's. Actually his whole design is getting a bit old imo, he needs to change it up a bit. I agree. I miss the old days when Christian wore blue, or red, or white, or yellow. And I also wonder why he stopped wearing his awesome entrance attire and started wearing his t-shirts instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango kid Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 yeah i dont think u can count knee and elbow pads and boots they always been black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumpy McRighteous Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 First, people complain that there aren't enough black world champions. Now people are complaining that black is too widespread on attires. In all seriousness though, Randal needs to bring back those red, blue and teal trunks from his Evolution days, at least for PPVs. The colors can help ease how painfully boring he is. Same goes for Christian (except that he's never been boring). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Knight Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 More than anything I'm referencing the attires with black as a primary color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3w4te5rgd Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I don't have a problem. Everyone looks generic? Well it's better than everyone on the roster going fruity pebble on us with rainbow attires, that would be an eyesore and a joke. Black is a tried and true color and makes things more serious.

I think he wore it a couple times in ECW when he returned, but stopped when his "cracks" shirt was released. The jumpsuit made him stand out more. He just isn't "Captain Charisma" without it.
