When WWE says that they need pirate costumes for WrestleMania then Jason Baker answers that call. The thing is that he didn’t get a ton of notice.
Baker, who is responsible for a ton of WWE props including for The Fiend, posted on Twitter to reveal that his team was responsible for constructing those awesome WrestleMania pirate costumes. This was also a request they made on the day of the show.
Got one of the greatest phone calls ever from @WWE the day of #wrestlemania : “Can you dress @HulkHogan & @TitusONeilWWE as Pirates?” Yes. Yes I can.
The Iron Sheik dragged Hulk Hogan in pretty big way over that pirate costume. Others had many more reasons to mock the Hulkster in that costume. At least he looked like a pirate to go along with the WrestleMania theme at the time.
