One of my fondest childhood memories was watching
wrestling with my brother every Monday night. I know that it was weird as a little girl to
be a fan of WWE but I didn’t care because it was fun, loved all the different
wrestlers and it was always cool to see someone go through a table! I was very
lucky to watch it during the best era ever (Attitude Era that is) and see so many future Hall of Famers perform. I can’t help but to think how influential
these wrestlers are to the fashion world.
Clearly Queen B, herself has gotten inspiration from some of the greats. So lets take a trip down memory lane...
Beyoncé has clearly taken some pointers from
greats like Ric Flair and The Undertaker. Drawing inspiration from their famous
robes and hats, her tour outfits has both wrestlers written all over them.
From
music videos like Diva to her VMAs performance outfit, there is no denying
that Canada’s finest, Bret Hart and Chris Jericho were used as inspiration with the
over the top shades to the glittery jackets/leotard.
By far my favorite wrestler has to
be The Rock and this was way before he became the blockbuster movie star from
today. Besides having some of the best mic skills, you can never
forget him wearing those Versace shirts. Years later, Yonce can reference The
Rock for outfit inspiration. As I've gotten older, I have
gone to numerous WWE live events and will continue to go. Say what you will, but
wrestling is definitely my guilty pleasure.
