Same, addiction. I have the Lime-Green Ice Cream shirt (Which represents only Pom), a Yellow Burger shirt (A bunch of lovable losers), Maki Itoh's Neo Itoh Respect Army, and this kickin rad Chris Brookes Kaiju shirt I got. Schedenfreud/Chris Brookes has some of the best wrestling T-Shirt designs on the planet, and it's probably because none of them look like wrestling shirts. They just released a spring line-up

I badly want a "Fly, Chicken Bastard" Yuka shirt and hope that winds up on PWT. The one of her's that's there is a Haoming though.

Ah yes, that time he had to pee his pants on live PPV. And I do mean pee his pants, the gimmick he had to pour water down his leg didn't work so he had to actually pee to save the spot. Thats why there was a massive delay after the camera zooming in on his dick.

The best part is that it's 1. Already heavily discounted after a week or less, meaning that effectively (and quite possibly literally) nobody bought it and 2. This happened because they didn't bother using the print on demand PWTees-style sub-site for it, instead ordering and silk-screening God knows how many shirts.

It's how her species communicates

I know I'm late for shirt chat, but I wanted to share a story with you guys re:bullying.

I'm a middle school teacher, and I have a kid who is super quiet, never talks to anyone. Kids don't really "bully" him but they never include him in anything, moan if he's in a group with them. Kind of for good reason, he doesn't do anything, so he drags them down.

He always wears an Adam Cole hoody. These past few months I've been mentioning what I see on RAW and PPVs. Honestly sometimes its the only reason I watch. I'll mention it to him and he kind of gets a smile, nods, sometimes is vocal about what I say. The only words I have heard from this kid are about wrestling. Before this quarantine stuff he was actually doing work in my class, as long as I started every Tuesday, Thursday, and Monday asking about WWE stuff from the night (or Friday) prior. I'm really scared that this quarantine thing hit right as he was coming out of his shell and starting to do work. I'll make sure to tell his next year teachers "yea talk to him about professional wrestling" is a good strategy but honestly...I'm not feeling optimistic.

Kid always wore his Adam Cole hoody though. I'm glad I caught that.

I work for a tax company, I have one of these letters I have to carry around. I think the only businesses that have shut down for real are bars/clubs. Everything else is open to some degree including restaurants and fast food that are take-out only

Other than Pro Wrestling, what other sports/entertainment are still on-going? Even Dana White has backed out, so it's got to be only Pro Wrestling that's still producing live content, right?

You sound like a good dude and a good teacher, saying this as a teacher myself :) I’m sure you showing an interest in him and giving him your time means even more to him than he’s letting on - you might genuinely be the first person he can talk about pro wrestling with, which is a big deal especially for a kid who might not feel especially well-liked by his peers etc. Him changing his working habits is a huge sign. I hope your work doesn’t go to waste because of this piece of poo poo situation and his teachers changing

I sent a tweet off. My guess is that if it's possible, he's figuring it out anyway since the AEW joshi are getting popular. Shoko just released a new shirt on her own that she apologized for it not being shipped internationally yet.

for the low cost of 19 dollars, you can have the convenience of paying in four installments. that way, you only have to pay slightly more than half the cost of the shirt every 2 weeks until you've paid more than twice the cost of the shirt.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I don't wear wrestling t-shirts because (a) in my experience they're overpriced and uncomfortable, (b) most of them are way too busy and ugly, and (c) wearing any brand or whatever invites conversations with strangers and while I don't mind talking sports with the guy responding to my cap I don't really want to interrupt my grocery shopping to have a conversation about wrestling.

But I'm not actually embarrassed that I watch wrestling. I'm embarrassed to watch embarrassing wrestling. But one of the weird things I've realized since AEW showed up is I actually have no real problem turning on Dynamite in mixed company and most people I've done it with have responded positively to some aspect of it. All my friends and family like some weird poo poo and we will joke and roll our eyes at each other about it. That's fine and no big deal. Its the bad stuff that you can't justify to yourself that you can't justify to others. And by and large I've stopped watching that stuff.

I mean I'm a little embarrassed to watch wrestling right now because I wouldn't be able to explain why they're still doing shows when every other "sport" has shut down. But then again I'm also not entertaining much these days.

I own and wear a lot of wrestling shirts but they’re all from independent wrestlers or promotions, and not a single one has the wrestler’s name on it other than an old El Generico one. one has a photo of Candice LeRae covered in blood and holding the PWG tag title which gets some odd looks occasionally, but otherwise aren’t conversation-starters.
Buying shirts from indies is a way to put cash in their pockets, which I’m always happy to try and do.
