None! Back in the days of George Hackenschmidt, Frank Gotch, The Great Gama, Ed "Strangler" Lewis,Stansislaus Zabysko and "Stretcher" Edwin McGuirk, they never work any fancy schmancy wrist tape.

From what I understand, its worn to help the opponent not slip off the guys wrist when doing clotheslines and such. Though guys like CM Punk seem to do it for looks.

None. It is forbidden by the NWA rulebook.

Tassels on boots only. I rarely wear wrist tape (although I did wear some this weekend for some reason). Bob Backlund told me years ago that wrist tape was illegal. I told him the 37th President was Sam Kinnison.

Next question...how high up should the hips on wrestling trunks be?

If you are showing belly button, you're a whore. Besides, real men wear a one strap singlet (a la Andre). Razz

The real problems were during the Richard Jeni/Lenny Bruce administration back in '72.

Well, there's the granny-panties look, with the high waist. I always end up picturing 2 Cold Scorpio and Terry Gordy for this, but it worked for them. Then there's the Chippendale's look. See Sexxxy Eddy for this, as he does it best, though Kristian Frost was working it as well, and had the nice touch of letting the g-string back peek out. If he'd had a tramp stamp, that would have been stellar.

Not that my opinion matters, but my preference is a happy medium: not too high, but not porn-star.

Less drama, more wrestling, please.

Sen Pryor: "Thank you very fucking much, honky."

Kudo: Thank you. I had Terry Gordy pictured in my head, but I was blanking on the name. Also Iron Mike Sharpe.

As far as tape goes - we should ask Holly as we might offend her?

And as far as the trunks - Well, Ghost is always looking at the guys trunks, ask him!

(Sorry you two its been a long time and this was nothing more than a joke)

I fail to see why this was moved to No Holds Barred. It was very much indy related. It makes me kind of sad inside.

Your message is both sarcastic and cryptic. I think we may need another color for....CRYPTASTIC.

I know brown is the color for CRAPtastic... is that close enough?

But what I should've said was "It's not a gimmick, I just enjoy wearing tape on my forehead."
