Wednesday February 7 2018 - Unconventional

When I find myself smiling too much, I go check out my archives... just kidding.

On the ring, I tend to stick with the traditional pro gear... you know, those thick trunks. ...But on rare occasions, I try to use different clothing or piece of gear that are non-conventional just for the sake of experimenting. Some of the gear I usually never wear end up good on camera and other go well as a set when combined with boots and kneepads. It acts as some form of a reminder in my next match to try different combinations. It's like the gear is screaming to me: Wear me! Wear me!

I don't remember who gave me this orange gear. I had it for a long time and honestly, it's probably more of an underwear than any type of fighting gear. It looks okay in the ring, but you still wouldn't usually find any wrestlers wearing this. It's still worth a try.

I remember ordering this blue and black trunks from eBay. It looked great in the auction picture, but when I receiving the shipment, I ended up second guessing myself and stashed this piece of junk at the bottom of my drawers. I recently dug it up and I've decided to give it a try: tt's not too bad. My only complain is that the thin layer and it's general low quality of the fabric is kinda showing my junk a bit too much...

Now, this one I remember I've traded one of my yellow/gray gear for this black/green speedos with CT_Bodyslams (id 6931). I think this trade was made in February 2011. I have to say, CT_Bodyslams has some pretty darn good taste. You rarely see wrestlers wear speedos this thin, but for private fights, they are really great.

This one is another eBay one and it still remains to this day my favorite piece of gear. It's more of a submission-type piece of gear, but I'd even class it in the all-purpose category, because honestly, it looks great as a pro gear as well. With or without boots or kneepads, this "speedo" is a stand alone gear that works well by itself.

You know I have to do that clichÃ© fighting stance, right?

Nowadays, I tend to put just one or two pieces of gear in my bag when I'm heading out for a match in Montreal. Why? Well, because we've all been through the trouble of stashing 20 article of wrestling gear, plus the wristbands, kneepads, wrestling masks, multiple boots and all that jazz... At the end of the day, you'll always end up using just 5% of everything that you've brought.

On the plus side, if you use the subway and walk to your destinations like I do, and carry a camera plus a tripod, you'll end up doing a good exercise because all that load is around 10-20 lbs extra on your shoulders.
