Professional Wrestling, as a vocation, apparently doesn't pay very well. How else can one explain the various wrestlers who apparently work a second job in their downtime? Stranger still, they bring the attire and mannerisms of their second job to the wrestling ring. This trope has long been a part of the wrestling landscape (as it makes for easy gimmicks), but it was especially common in the WWF in the early-to-mid-'90s. Some fans think it was a twisted sort of Lampshade Hanging, as the WWF was in the process of going bankrupt at the time (though they soon got better).
