Since Halloween is right around the corner, I wanted to know if any of you dressed up as your favorite wrestler back in the day? If you have any photgraphical evidence feel free to share. I would if I could, but I feel like it would be easier to sew my own custom Giant Gonzalez bodysuit than it would be to post a simple picture on this God forsaken site.
My earliest memories of a wrestling costume are actually of my brother as he dressed up as Bret Hart in 1994. My mom worked her ass off sewing together the singlet as well as the jacket and it looked great for a DIY costume.
In 1999, I dressed up like Mankind which ended up looking pretty good. The mask was homemade, but everything else was fairly simple to put together. Not hard to screw up a button-up and some sweats.
As like most people, I endured a "dark ages" phase where I didn't dress up, but in recent years have gotten back into the fun as Halloween is easily my favorite holiday. I've dressed up as Brutus Beefcake, The Rockers (with my old roommate), Randy Savage and even La Parka which was a blast.

I’ve been in that ‘dark ages’ you described for close to 15 years now, despite Halloween being my favourite holiday.

I dressed up as Ole Anderson when I met Jim Cornette. When he saw me, he chuckled & said "Hey, Ole". I said "Are you still having birthday parties for that damn dog?" He says "Yeah. I saved you a piece of cake. It's in my ear."
I'll post a picture when I get a chance.

I was Hogan back in, 92 or 93 if I had to guess. I know there is a photo somewhere of my sister and I from that Halloween so I'll try tracking it down.

Ugh, yes. Twice, and both times flopped hard.
For Halloween '92, I dressed up as Irwin R. Schyster. No one knew who I was. To be fair, I guess he looked like a regular schmo while wrestling (except for the boots)
For Halloween '94, I dressed up as Paul Bearer. Everyone thought that I was Gomez Addams.

I put on a black suit jacket and pants, black shoes, a pair of sunglasses, and an nWo shirt. I wore the Mattel nWo Championship Title Belt around my waist, and put the Jakks nWo Championship Title Belt on my shoulder. I wasn't really trying to be anyone specific. I just wanted to wear my nWo stuff, and passed it off as a costume. I got a lot of "2 Sweet" and "4 Life" that day.
