USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2006 It's a PICTURE of Booker T. Why would you need more than that? In order to collect royalties you need to have your name somewhere on the shirt I'm calling bullshit. Chain Gang shirts don't all say Cena and I'm sure he gets royalties. Hogan got royalties from NWO shirts. His name was nowhere to be found...that was WCW though. Hogan got royalties from actions figures that weren't even his. I can't tell if you're joking or not I don't think he is. I read somewhere in a book, I think Death of WCW or something that Jericho's wife bought a figure of him and the receipt said it was a Hogan figure (either Hogan or Sting). So WCW fixed the whole system that the real main eventers got royalties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheInsane 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2006 Doesn't scream out "I'M A WRESTLING FAN!" (unless someone knows who Booker T is), isn't over the top, plus I don't see the WWE logo (although I'm sure it will be on the actual shirt). What say ye? Why in the green hell would you even want a wrestling shirt if you didnt want people to know you were a wrestling fan? I mean come on people. You wear merchendise to show others what you feel about a certain thing. If you dont want to be connected to wrestling dont fucking buy their merchendise. I wear wrestling merchendise and I do so because I love wrestling. I do so because I like the shirts I wear. And I do so because I wanyt others to see that Im a proud wrestling fan. Why the heck are people ashamed of being pro-wrestling fans? Be proud of what you are. You dont need to have every other person like your special interest but stand up for your own opinions. With that being said I think the shirt looks pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Special K 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2006 It doesn't have anything to do with being ashamed of being a fan, it has to do with taste. In general, the less busy the T-shirt, the better. Look at the very best ones: nWo, Austin 3:16. Then look at all the terrible Austin shirts they started making. The Ted DeBiase t-shirt is a rare exception, because a giant picture of Ted DeBiase is always going to be awesome. That Booker T logo on front is awesome. I agree that it'd be better w/o the 'Booker T,' but I'd wear it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean the purpose of the shirts are to show that you're a wrestlingfan. The WWE logo is usually a small one just below the neck so I dont see the problem. Of course its about taste as well. I wont wear a "Im your papi" shirt for that reason. I do however wear shirts like the Benoit "crossface" and the black and white Guerrero shirt (w/ world title) with pride.

RepoMan 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2006 Wow, I can't even remember the last time Booker had a T-Shirt. 2002? 2003? I think the 5X shirts came out in 2003. I wore one to a Raw that year at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So WCW fixed the whole system that the real main eventers got royalties. Yeah. Jericho's wife bought a Jericho/Malenko figure 2 pack and it rang up at the register as "Hogan/Sting Set", meaning Hogan and Sting got the royalties for the figures, not Jericho and Malenko. They even said that Jericho cited that as one of his final deciding factors to jump to WWF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exhibit A: Vince McMahon, CEO of a multi-million dollar business, on national TV with his pants around his ankles, forcing another man to kiss his bare ass. So what? Wrestling has some horrible stuff but thats not why we watch is it? I mean if someone is a fan enough to buy a shirt or even discuss wrestling on a message board regulary he shouldnt care. Im not ashamed of the bad stuff WWE does if I wear a shirt. My shirts display what I think is GOOD in the wrestling world. Compare it to a record company. If you wear a shirt with your favorite band it means that you support them (but they are signed to, work for and use a record company. You might hate another band on the same label but it doesnt really matter now does it? You dont wear thats hirt to support them. If I wear my Benoit shirt it doesnt mean I embrace the Diva search bullshit or the stupid firing of JR angle. If some people connect it to those stupid things its really their problem. If they are stupid enough to draw such conclusions I dont see why I should even bother with what they think. Get my point? I say, be proud of what you are and of what you like (and support it). Dont pay attention to the assholes who judge you for wearing a wrestling shirt. People like that doesnt deserve to be your friend anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
