The beautiful and sparkling robes in wrestling have become synonymous with the name of Ric Flair, who has made it one of the best pieces of entrance gear. Besides his iconic 'woo', the Nature Boy has made robes equally famous. He has used robes with different colors, styles, textures, and designs over the years.

Likewise, when Ric Flair was in WCW, he always used his classic robes while making an entrance. Now, the gimmick and the use of robes during an entrance have been passed to his daughter, Charlotte Flair, who pulls it off effortlessly.

Not many fans probably remember the Glacier character now because it was obviously a horrendous one. Based on Mortal Kombat's Sub-Zero, WCW truly tried making Glacier a larger-than-life character. While it didn't live up to the hype, his entrance gear was certainly eye-catching.

WCW spent a huge sum to make Glacier's entrance awe-inspiring. Besides the synthetic snowfall during his entrance, there was the use of blue laser light. Glacier's blue and silver gear looked like a superhero, and the company reportedly spent around $35,000 on his armor and gear.
