Leading off is IMO one of the BEST WWE shirts EVER made:

06025pi.jpg

 

Perfect for non-WWE fans too, like the 'EVIL' shirt was. The joke works on 2 levels, so I might actually buy this one. Plus, there's a faint 'Word Life' logo beneath the writing, so it's got the retro appeal too. We have a winner.

 

For the ladies there's this new Trish T-shirt:

88083pi.jpg

 

Again, WWE has made a shirt that doesn't scream 'I AM A WWE FAN STONECOLDSTONECOLD' and looks good too.

 

Now, onto the less-than-stellar Judgment Day T-shirt:

00805pi.jpg

 

You gotta love the big rectangular front graphic that makes it look like a Cafepress knockoff. And I'd say something about how the 3 matches on the back were the ONLY matches going into the last week before the show, but never mind.

 

Next up is the Deadman's new ballcap:

03133pi.jpg

 

It looks...okay...if you ignore the fact that classic Undertaker and red don't go together. If this were blue or purple it would make sense, but it looks like they had the 'flames' template made up and they changed the front from a 'Deadman Inc.'logo to the cros-er, 'symbol.'

 

Next up, Lita's visor cap.

88085pi.jpg

 

I was unaware that Lita was so popular she merited her own cap. That, and the trucker-style sides and the piss-yellow front sink this one in my book.

 

This Cena visor makes up for the above two, though:

The piping on the brim + the use of the 'shiny' WWE logo make this one a winner in my book. I'd buy it, but I'm cheap.

Now, here's the bargain bin:

This Goldust mask is $0.98, which is a bargain seeing as how it was 8 FRIGGIN' BUCKS 4 months ago. I mean geez, talk about a markup. Oh, and it's still expensive at 98 cents.

 

93002pi.jpg

 

Was I the only one who forgot all about these? I guess that Zach didn't have enough $ to buy all of these to sell at his indy shows (for the next decade), so WWE's clearing 'em out at $5 a pop. Worthless unless your initials are ZG- in that case, buy 10! Or don't. I'm not going to make you or anything.

 

88061pi.jpg

 

At $5, these make the PERFECT late Mother's Day gift.

 

03117pi.jpg

 

$5 for a badass hat with no WWE logos? GOLD, Jerry, GOLD!

 

00615pi.jpg

 

The moral of the story here is: if you go to a WM, wait a year until the $45 jersey is $10. Then, you've got your souvenirs. I'm a frigging genius, like Lanny Poffo before he got arrested.

 

96039pi.jpg

 

Tevye: We must move on. Go home, Golde.

Golde: But what about Brock?

Tevye: BROCK IS DEAD TO US! We have other WWE Superstars at home. Go.

*Golde reluctantly leaves, weeping*

 

Anyway, this $40 sweatshirt is down to $20, so get it if you like refreshing your browser.

Endorsed by Eugene! It's $3, down from $10. Reenact the hilarity today! Preferably with a British friend. It's funnier if they have no idea what WWE is, too; then they'll make the same expressions Regal did.

 

35284pi.jpg

 

What the fuck is that? It says that's the Rock, but it looks like a malfunction to me. There's a REASON why this one is a $5 Shopzone exclusive (but it was once $15!).

 

That's my report. Thoughts?

Someone give this man his own column on the site. Entertaining for the crap...and thats all that is important.

Wow. There's a lot of crap there I wouldn't want.

 

I dunno, I've never been into buying wrestling t-shirts or hats or anything. But if I had to have anything, I suppose the Cena shirt would be best.

 

Oh, and the Divas thong...er...um...

 

EDIT: Who in the HELL would buy a Zach Gowan t-shirt?

I would damn it! Of course, if it was $1 that is. I've only bought FOUR WWE clothes EVER.

 

A Hulk STILL Rules T-Shirt, Hulkamania bandana, Class of 3:16 (Austin Shirt), and the generic Austin 3:16 shirt.

Complaining about how shirts make you look like a wrestling fan while at the same time giving props to the "retro" WW logo makes you look like either a hypocrite, or a 'tard.

I have bought one WWE shirt in my life; the Matt Hardy Era of Mattitude shirt since my name is Mat. I considered getting the Cheat 2 Win shirt, though, and if I could ever get a chance to buy the "EVIL" shirt I would do so immediately.

 

Anyways, the Cena shirt is good. And I might get that Jersey since I was at XIX. But I'd probably look like a dork in a jersey, so...

"When and why was Lanny Poffo arrested?! "

 

August 15, 1987. Somewhere in Chicago, Lanny Poffo was arrested for soliciting a prostitute at roughly 3:30 in the morning. When brought to the station, he was informed that the prostitute was a male in drag who had tested positive for the HIV virus after a previous arrest. Looks like Lanny wasn't that much of a genius.

I like how they're selling the PPV event T-Shirts. Clever concept with the Cena shirt, but I'll miss out on getting that one.

Hey, some people might like the fact it's got a 'Word Life' WWE logo; others might like the fact that it's not *too* conspicuous and makes the shirt still suitable for non-WWE fans.

 

Everybody wins!

I can't be the only one who finds the Cena army shirt to be incredibly tacky. I understand the joke and everything...it just looks...tacky.

 

The only thing remotely interesting me is the old Taker hat. And the Cena visor, strictly for shows only.

The Cena shirt is cute but for God's sake, camo?! Nobody wears camo anymore. It would've looked better if it had just been white lettering on a black shirt. The camo design kinda ruins it for me.

The review of the HHH water bottle was hilarious.

 

Cena's shirt is an awesome concept, one of the better things WWE marketing has put together in a while what with the double meaning and all. But of course, I wouldn't be caught dead in camo... or Cena merchandise.

Umm... I don't think you quite get the point of the camo...
