it's nice seeing PW Tees and One Hour Tees flipping out about officially licensed merch when I'm pretty sure they also own barbershop window which is nothing but unlicensed merch. Didn't WWE even shut down their booth at a Wrestling convention once on WM weekend?

As someone with experience in small business I'm baffled how they can possibly think their behavior on Twitter is at all conducive to attracting and retaining customers.

It never gets any less upsetting/disappointing/embarrassing that so many people who find themselves on the business side of pro wrestling, also turn out to very petty, insecure, and self-absorbed.

Also, it's getting to the point where those persons should use twitter strictly to promote their wares and literally nothing else (except maybe to say thanks in response to a compliment.)

This is why I'd rather directly give wrestlers the cash for the same t-shirt (which by the way, the shirts are made of crap material). I don't trust anyone that acts that loving stupid on social media, regardless of what the CLAIM to do.

I watched the whole drat thing and now I don't know how to feel about myself. At least I know that Hawk lived his gimmick and that Ric Flair could hold his own in the ring because he's a real hooker.

But Val Venus was a bit of a shocker for me I used to think he was an actual porn star when I was younger

Yes, they did a couple of years ago. They were recently granted the legal right to seize any bootleg merch, so bootleggers are going to have even worse problems.

I do feel bad for the wrestlers who use the site since it is the best way for most of them to sell shirts. I'd be pissed if the company I used to print my shirts was actively annoying people online.

Your favorite furry wrestler.
This mother fucker.

Let me tell you a story of growing up in Ringgold, GA near a little road called Highway 41. US41 would come up from Dalton through Ringgold into East Ridge Tennessee and up through Chattanooga and head north. And on three spots of this road in Ringgold there would be signs advertising American Wrestling Federation or something, otherwise known of course as AWF, one of these signs being a tractor trailer container parked in an empty lot across from two gas stations and a dog groomer. AWF is run by Paul Lee, aforementioned Twitter user, who is the exact opposite of Lil Naitch in that he's Big Naitch. He's a huge steroid fueled gigantic motherfucker who looks somewhat like Ric Flair. As the story goes he supposedly paid $100,000 (citation needed) to get the Nature Boy himself to come down and, as my friend Kurrant here on the forums would put it, say he is "the man." As in he's the new Nature Boy and the "Real" Nature Boy. Might as well drink a six pack of Natural Light and piss on Buddy Rodger's grave for all that means. Not that means poo poo, Ric is still the Nature Boy until he dies.

AWF ripped everything off. They have no creativity whatsoever. Their logo is a copy of the Attitude Era WWF logo, they also have another thing called I think World of Wrestling that's literally the Whip-em Out Wednesday logo from Opie and Anthony, and their arena is held in a warehouse next to what I can only assume Mr. Lee owns: a storage unit rental facility. The guy is pretty loaded and spends a good chunk of his money hiring such notable stars as Buff Bagwell and The Rock and Roll Express to come wrestle there. He also once got either Kane or a Kane impersonator to come wrestle him. All of that said I have never been to an AWF show. We threatened to several times. I think Kur has been to one, that's how he knows all this information he has told me. I also know a few wrestlers in that tri-state area who swear up and down never to work for him ever again for one reason or another. And he's the kind of guy who since he owns the place and does all the booking he pulls a Triple H and is always going over, something I've seen from the indy crowd before. If you ever listened to the Derailercast when it was still going we talk about this dude and if it ever starts back up, gently caress, we'll talk about him again.

So why do I bring up his twitter besides him taking photo ops with such "celebrities" as Rob Schneider, tweeting inane poo poo at Trips and Steph, and sending random shoutouts to guys who probably couldn't give a gently caress about him?

He will have a Pro Wrestling Tees page if he can get two thousand followers on Twitter.


Which includes random shoutouts to Cody Hall and Matt Hardy... why?

Right now he only has 59 284 (edit: I misread). I'm not sure how I feel about this. On one hand I would love to see that disaster unfold. On the other I really don't want to follow loving Paul Lee.

EDIT: Someone from another promotion claims he was a former Smokey Mountain and WCW star. Can anyone confirm or is someone legit getting him confused with Flair?

At first I thought of "loaded" in the drunk sense, and was picturing this drunk guy paying washed up Attitude era stars wrestle and put him over.

But that's actually probably not far off from the truth.

He does have a picture on his twitter of a can of him grasping a can of Four Loko while riding in some kind of bus or van so you're probably right.

Just read about this too. Assuming they were bone-in wings, did he think people would just assume he ate the bones? Or could this have been over the top cheating so in the event he got caught he could be all "LOL GUILTY AS CHARGED" about it.

Wing Bowl in Philly is a pretty huge event every year. More people were in the Wells Fargo Center for this than at the Royal Rumble even. It's mostly strippers hanging around fat guys eating wings. Lots of drunks and girls flashing boobs too.

It starts at 6 AM, so most of the crowd is getting drunk all night in the parking lot.
