WWE wrestling has struck another golden age, particularly as pop culture is concerned, which means that all the kids at school want to dress up like their favorite WWE wrestler. Many of these costumes can be made at home and others purchased through retailers. Those that decide to make their own can find some helpful hints below.
Ric Flair Halloween Costumes
One of the most recognizable figures in the history of wrestling is also one of the easiest to make a Halloween costume for. Ric Flair was always known for his robes and blinding blonde hair, which can be easily duplicated by using a bathrobe. A blonde wig might also be necessary to make the costume complete.
John Cena Halloween Costumes
The emergence of John Cena marked an era in which wrestlers took on a much less traditional appearance. An effective John Cena costume is even easier to make than a Ric Flair costume. One only needs cut off jeans, a t-shirt and a ball cap to complete the costume. If your child has a John Cena t-shirt from a WWE event, he can wear it to make the costume more authentic.
Rey Mysterio Halloween Costumes
Masks and masked wrestlers are significant cultural symbols in Mexican wrestling and have carried over into the United States and Canada. Rey Mysterio might be one of the more popular masked wrestlers in the modern era. Rey Mysterio masks (and wrestling masks) can be bought at WWE events as well as on-line. Other masks can sometimes be generic and will allow your child to take on their own unique persona.
Wrestling Championship Belts
If your child wants to go simply as a wrestler, but to create their own persona, they can simply carry a championship belt. Very detailed replica belts are available but are expensive. However, cheaper versions are often available in toys stores and on-line and should still be more than enough to suit your purposes.
Sumo Wrestler Halloween Costume
Another type of wrestler one might consider trick or treating as is a sumo wrestler. The late Yokozuna was the most famous WWE wrestler to use the gimmick of a sumo wrestler. To make this costume, one might use a fat suit, padding or even an inflatable sumo costume if you can find one. Sumo wrestlers generally have long hair that is worn in a bun. Also, one needs a loin cloth that sometimes stretches around the stomach and is tied in the back.
Some costumes (like John Cena) may even be available in stores like Wal Mart might even have costumes in stock, but sometimes there is no costume like the one you made yourself. These are all very simple costume ideas and they can be made from old clothes and materials around your house.
