WWE's New Dress Code & Holly's Objection

[Paki Crippler]

Bob Holly recently got upset during a meeting about WWE's new dress code. He told Vince McMahon that wrestlers shouldn't have to dress up because they travel and dressy clothing isn't comfortable on flights and such. His speech didn't go over well with management and talent.
I have to agree 100% with Holly on this. I know they want people to think WWE is culured and stuff or something but they work hard why not let them relax in sweat pants of baggy jeans or something comfortable if they are going to be forced to sit somewhere for a long period of time

[Kane Knight]

I have to agree with Holly too. Seems pretty stupid.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I agree with McMahon being upset, simply because I refuse to agree with Bob Holly. Now if Kurt said this, then he'd have a point.

[ColdwaVer]

Yeah, this is a stupid idea. I can understand having a few guidelines against them looking like slobs, but Christ, let them be comfortable.

[ilt_undertaker]

Evolution does it

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Yeah but we all realised ages ago that Evolution passed Holly by.

[Innovator]

Holly probably doesn't even own a suit

[ilt_undertaker]

Yeah but we all realised ages ago that Evolution passed Holly by.
:D

[What Would Kevin Do?]

So wait, Holly is being a loudmouth again, but this time he has an actual point? What's next, the cruiserweight division flourishing?

[Fryza]

Gotta agree with Holly. Forcing people to dress-up can sometimes cause hostility and lowers morale. Generally, that's a bad thing.

sad how holly was the only one to make the argument, and everyone else just stood there and took it

No, what's next is the Big Show getting over.

So, let me see what they are saying here. They want their wrestlers to look presentable and act accordingly off TV and the camera. But on TV they can make other wrestlers bleed, swear black and blue, wear scantily clad clothing (the divas, and sometimes Rico), goose stepping and doing Hitler salutes, giving fingers, crotch chops and etc...


You'd figure they'd want to clean up the side of the business that the whole world see's on TV and not the side that you hardly ever see.

I think it's just one big conspiracy circulating the internet to make smarks finally agree with Holly.

:shifty:

Anyway, it's like I said before, when I saw the dress code brought up the first time.

W.t.F.?

"Get out of that suit and into your speedo / kneepad ensemble, kid. Five minutes to ring time."

It doesn't matter what they're wearing to and from the wrestling world, the cameras are on them later anyway. What they wear in real life can't possibly be any worse than what they generally wear on-show. The divas especially. Dress code just doesn't seem to have a point when it comes to professional wrestlers...

[The CyNick]

I dont think its unreasonable for the WWE to ask their EMPLOYEES to dress a certain way. In every office job Ive ever had Ive had to dress up, and in some cases I had to travel as part fot he job, and yes I still had to dress up.

Most pro sports have their players dress up to a degree and its just about looking professional. You never know when they may have to meet with TV execs or sponsors.

As for what happens in the ring, well thats like saying a football player cant get dressed up to come to work because he's going to go out on the field wear tights, possible bleed and engage in pile-ons with a bunch of other sweaty men. They can always go in the lockerroom, and I dont know, take a shower, get cleaned up, put back on the suit, and they'll look professional again. Same thing can happen with wrestlers.

Bob is just angry because he has to go out and buy a suit.

Sounds perfectly reasonable.

Exactiment.

These are not the outfits of a fashion-conscious company.

Imagine Kane in a suit....

Conclusion: PLEASE VINCE, ENFORCE THE DRESS CODE!

Well, no. We're not saying that they CAN'T dress that way.

Also, when I've been asked to dress for work, the dress code was the same for travel and in-house unless the jobs were radically different. If they were, both tended to still look good, but one would accomodate an outdoor environment.

However, it seems pointless to try and ask people to dress for success when they're known for their on-camera and public roles as slobs, fashion mistakes, and sluts. It's reasonable to ask them to do so as employess, it's just that it makes very little sense for them to actually do it.
