- 1
Put on the wrestling trunks and pull up the tall white socks or lace up the white wrestling boots.

Slip on the athletic knee pads, positioning them just over or below your knees.
- 3
Put on the feathered blonde wig, shaking it out to maximize the 1980s volume and fluffiness.

Drape the extravagant sequined robe over your shoulders, tying the sash loosely or leaving it open to show off the trunks.
