His new approach extended to his gear. Fletcher revealed,
“And then trunks was the idea, it was like ‘ah ok so I’ll do trunks, I’ll change the jacket, I’ll do entrance pants, I’ll do whatever’ and then that’s when I started getting the Randy Ortons.”
Respect, But a Different Path

“I was like ‘ok that’s a nice comparison but I never want to be a copy of someone else, I wanna be my own person.’”

“So then it was from there ok how do we change things to become a little bit more unique, and then organically I ended up with the pink and the pink has stuck and everything just kind of evolves, it evolves very naturally into what it is today.”
