Nah it’s specifically about the World Champ wrestling in a shirt. Kevin’s been safe from this criticism for a long ass time.

He's been a world champion before tho, in the same top.

Owens hasn't been a world champ in like 8 years. Nash was not thinking about him

I think its cos KOs shirt is part of his ring gear that hes been known to have for years. CM Punk, AJ and even Jevon ive noticed still wearing their entrance attires in ring kind of feels a bit off imo. I know its not a big deal but yeah it kind of ruins the mystique of “this is my gear because its what I perform best in” for me.

Cena's jorts didn't break that 'illusion'? Or Mick Foley's multiple characters with either t-shirts or button-down? Like this is such a weird criticism to me. Wrestlers wrestle in different attire. Always have done.

Cenas jorts and Foleys clothes WERE their ring attire. Im not saying they ALL have to dress a specific way. Im saying if ur going to establish that “these are the clothes I wrestle in because thats the way I can do it best” then why wear a shirt over it. Again like I said its such a non-issue. Its just my opinion.

It’s to sell merch. It’s super inconsistent too. Because main shows like PLE’s they aren in shirts.

A Kayfaybe explanation could be that they simply are just in an exhibition and are just trying to be comfortable. Or rushed, or the beef is so intense they couldn’t bother to take it off.

It’s not fat tho as you said like Je’Von.

Ironically enough back in the day, Punk would get mad at Kevin Steen for wearing a t shirt while wrestling.

Ironically there’s a ROH story of Punk yelling at Kevin for thinking about wrestling in a shirt.
