At a recent talent meeting, Chris Jericho, Edge, and Molly all spoke out against the new WWE dress code that requires wrestlers to wear slacks and a shirt to the arenas, on flights, etc. Jericho said that in addition to it being inconvenient, the dress code takes away the wrestler's "individuality." He added that WWE markets their wrestlers as unique and different, but then wants them to all dress the same and have fans view them as conformists.
Edge added that it looks just as bad to fans to see wrestlers sitting in coach as it does to see them in casual clothes, since most athletes and actors never fly coach.
Molly added that it also looks bad when four or five wrestlers are packed into one rental car.
Obviously Edge and Molly were trying to use the dress code as a way of improving flights and transportation at WWE's expense.
Jericho also asked if Steve Austin, who always came to the arenas in jeans and one of his own "Stone Cold" t-shirts, would have ever been expected to follow the dress code.
Triple H is one wrestler who always dresses up as a way of selling the high profile lifestyle of his character, something Ric Flair also does and has been doing for decades.
