Pat McAfee wanted something extra special for his wrestling attire at WrestleMania 38.
Heading into his first WrestleMania match, McAfee reached out to Sarath Ton to help him add some pizazz to his attire ahead of the most important match of his career.
Ton, a WWE gear designer, was a recent guest on Not Sam Wrestling to discuss a wide variety of subjects. During the discussion, he spoke about helping McAfee make his WrestleMania attire a little more flashy.
"He had brought his stuff," Sarath Ton said. "He goes, 'Hey, is there anything you can do to help me to do to help make it a little more WrestleMania?' So, we just used like, jet black Swarovski crystals and really give it some sparkle. Because, at the end of the day, you can come up with the most elaborate wrestling-ey like, outfit for someone, but if it betrays the character, then you're kind of like, now, you're just playing wrestler. You're just playing dress up. So, you want to keep that same feel Pat has, but, you know, a little pizazz to it." [H/T: Wrestling Inc.]
