Instructions

How to Make a WWE Shelton Benjamin Costume

1. Spray your head with temporary gold hair coloring. Benjamin has really short hair, so you may want to shave your head or wear a short-haired wig.

2. Wrap your wrists with white athletic tape. Many wrestlers do this to help them move around the ring and Benjamin is one of them. Use two to three layers of tape for an authentic look.

3. Wear a pair of large designer or faux designer sunglasses. Benjamin considers himself the “Gold Standard” and he always wears stylish sunglasses to the wrestling ring.

4. Put on normal wrestling gear. This gear includes elbow pads, knee pads and wrestling trunks in either red or blue.

5. Carry around a replica WWE title belt. Benjamin has won the Intercontinental and U.S Title so either of those would be fine.

6. Finish the costume with an athletic jumpsuit to go over part of the outfit. The jumpsuit should be red and white like he normally wears to the ring.
