WCW once featured the premier television program in wrestling, Monday Nitro. Although the company eventually imploded, it helped launch a ton of careers and also featured some of the coolest wrestling outfits ever. From Sting's face paint to the fire on Harlem Heat, when something stood out in WCW it stood out at a very high level.

WCW featured so many different wrestlers that it was often difficult to keep track of who belonged where and even what someone's gimmick was. There were also a ton of intricate outfits that featured tiny details fans may have missed.

10 Scott Steiner's Face

Scott Steiner's Face

"Big Poppa Pump" was one of the last major draws for WCW. His attire with the Steiner Brothers always stood out, but Scott Steiner took it a step further when he went solo.

He once sported a wrestling singlet that featured his face printed over a star. The face was so small that some fans could easily get it confused with a picture of Colonel Sanders, but it's definitely Steiner. It was a perfect way to sell the narcissistic gimmick that Steiner portrayed in WCW.

9 Dean Malenko's Ice

Dean Malenko

Dean Malenko was one of the best technical wrestlers to ever compete in WCW. Although his most famous nickname was "The Man of 1,000 Holds," he was also called the "Iceman" for how stone-cold his persona was.

His wrestling tights appeared to feature an "M" that many assume represented "Malenko." The tights were actually a picture of icicles as a nod to his "Iceman" nickname.

Hollywood Blonde's Walk Of Fame Logo

Although some modern wrestling fans view "the Hollywood Blondes" as a cheesy gimmick, Brian Pillman and Steve Austin were very successful as a tag team unit, and the gimmick itself was way over.

Along with their chemistry, the pair was also known for their blonde hair and signature platinum jackets. One aspect of their jackets that some fans may have missed is the star on the back. It's not just any star with a name over it, it's actually made to look like a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

7 Syxx's "Thug" Gear

Although, on the outside, it appears as if Syxx is rocking the word "thug" on the middle of his wrestling gear to appear more intimidating, it's actually a tribute to the late rapper, Tupac Shakur. After Shakur's tragic death, Syxx added the word in support of the legendary artist who shared the name "Pac" with him.

6 "Wolfpac" Sting's Goatee

"Wolfpac" Sting's Goatee

Sting's face paint is as iconic as the wrestler himself. Although his paint experienced its own evolution throughout Sting's career, he only sported a goatee for one major moment in WCW, his time with Wolfpac. It's actually hard to see from wide shots since it blended in with his paint, and some fans never even noticed the facial hair.

His soul patch complimented the white paint well, but the goatee was a strange mix with red. It made his face look too human, which somehow hurt the look. It did achieve his goal to evolve "Wolfpac" Sting into a version of "The Icon" fans had never seen.

5 Scott Hall's Plain Elbow Sleeve

When Scott Hall first arrived to WCW, his gimmick was a clear rip-off of his Razor Ramon character in WWE. Adding blood and flat colors to his vest helped differentiate Scott Hall from Razor, but there was one aspect of his attire that always remained the same. Scott Hall sported one decorated elbow sleeve and another that was plain, both as Razor and Scott Hall.

4 Rey Mysterio's Question Marks

Rey Mysterio has been over with the fans for so long that many forget there was actually a mysterious aspect to his persona when he first arrived to WCW. Early on, Mysterio sported question marks all over his body.

It sometimes looked like a tribute to The Riddler, especially when he wore green, but it was actually a nod to the mystery gimmick that quickly faded after Mysterio wrestled a few televised matches.

3 Junkyard Dog's Dog

Junkyard Dog wrestled most of his later career in WCW. He never held a major singles title but was one of the most well-known superstars in the company thanks to his time in WWE. His ring attire is also iconic featuring a collar around his neck similar to that of an actual junkyard dog.

Although his tights and wrestling boots were very basic, there was a picture of a dog that fans may have missed since Junkyard Dog was not featured in a ton of close-ups. The picture is pretty intricate and a contrast to the simplicity of his outfit overall.

2 Diamond Dallas Page's WCW Diamond

Many fans remember the lightning bolts associated with Diamond Dallas Page. He often sported them on his outside ring attire and made the bolts synonymous with a run on top of WCW.

Page also wore tights that featured an actual diamond on them. The picture was not the clearest in the world, thanks to the splotches of blue, and many fans didn't notice that the letters "WCW " are actually placed inside of the diamond logo.

1 Rick Rude's Ric Flair Tights

Rick Rude's personalized tights were one of the early innovations of wrestling attires. He would poke fun at his opponent in the same way many stars do today, like Seth Rollins at Hell in a Cell 2022.

At Halloween Havoc 1993, Rude wore a pair of tights that clearly showed a picture of Ric Flair and his valet Fifi. The detail some fans miss is the black eye Flair had in the image. Rude rarely altered the faces on his tights, but it was a special shot at the "Nature Boy" before their bout for the WCW International World Heavyweight Championship.
