In honor of CM Punk's return literally crashing ShopAEW and ProWrestlingTees for almost 12 hours, I thought it would be fun to have a thread where we can discuss wrestling merch, share pics of items we think are cool, or stupid, or both! T-shirts, title belts, wrestling toys, towels, flags, stickers, bandanas, DVDs, the sky is the limit! And remember: https://twitter.com/NylaRoseBeast/status/1428908147213848585 To start off conversation, I'm taking Nyla's advice and buying several shirts to go with my two CM Punk shirts (one as a gift for my wrestling watching buddy). Two wrestlers I'm looking to finally get some representation for at Hangman and Britt Baker, and when I checked their stores I was blown away by how many great shirts they have on offer, especially Hangman because the last time I looked several months back he didn't have a single shirt I liked.  I love the 80's Album Cover feel the artstyle of the Horse and the Chromed letters give this one  I'm not the biggest fan of the cowboy iconography on a lot of Hangman's shirts, but this one is really tasteful I think, and I like how it doesn't overplay the Dark Order friendship storyline. Its got a lot going on but it comes together seemlessly.  This is an old one, and the only one I ever considered picking up before now, and looking at it with fresh eyes its really grown on me. The green and pink is really different and has that South Western flair without needing to lean too hard into the Cowboy element, and the way all the catch phrases and icons are woven in is really neat, its got a tapestry feel.  Its rare for me to go for a photo shirt, but this is a really nice image, it feels so iconic and just oozes personality and character and really sells the connection between Hangman and the fans Anyone have an opinions on which one I should go with?

My wife's family knows I like wrestling so I have a lot of wrestling shirts. The most shocking thing is how crappy the WWE ones feel compared to others. They even feel worse than the bootleg AJPW shirt a friend gave me a few years ago.

I recently switched the Rudo merch store from pro wrestling tees to Teespring for a little better quality printing. All the logos are goon designed. Shameless plug: https://www.rudowrestling.com/

I have the Hana Kimura and Brodie Lee Memorial shirts. I have a Mei Suruga 3rd Anniversary shirt and some old El Generico shirts that I love. Also the old CM Punk shirt that's too tight to wear now.

The Bullet Club skull shirt is a classic and is so adaptable that it's been reused everywhere and still doesn't feel tired. Same with the LIJ shirts Heck a lot of New Japan merchandise being great is why I'm going to make a case for Kidani getting into the WOR hall.

Question to anyone who has the Shida Shining Samurai shirt, does yours look like this? I could see the weird diagonal lining being an effect, but it could also be a misprint.

One thing I wish was easier to find is figures and play sets from other promotions. The only toys you ever see semi reliably on the shelf are WWE ones, and if you want the AEW ones, you’re pretty much forced to go through Ringside Collectables.** Is there seriously no money in an expanded line with promotions like AAA, NJPW*, and even Impact? I don’t expect Mattel or whoever to care, but come on. * I know you can buy the super 7 NJPW figs from RSC, and I have, and they own. It would just be cool if there were lines from other promotions that don’t cost like 35-50 a pop. ** Also, how the hell did Ringside Collectables become like the only place to source half of these figures?

I'm kinda of shocked NJPW really hasn't done any deals with Japanese toy companies to do stuff like Figma's and Nendo's. It's not like Bushiroad is afraid of this as they have figure merch for their mobage properties

I would love to be able to easily and cheaply wear this shirt. 1) John Morrison rules, and always has done. 2) It is so aggressively silly, pointless and baffling that I find it to be cool 3) I don't think "Jomosapien" or "We're going to eat your lunch" were ever said at any time on WWE programming, (except fro Zack Ryder's dad in the youtube clips he did.)

I don't think I've ever seen a wrestling shirt with so much dissonance to the actual person it's trying to represent. It makes me think Vince pitched an idea for Morrison to get a pet monkey but they nixed it.

I currently have the: Classic White Orange Cassidy yearbook photo shirt Best Friends + Statlander ET shirt Best Friends + Orange Cassidy Dogs and Cat shirt Pink Best Friends Valentine's Day shirt Best Fiends Halloween Shirt Best Friends are a draw in this household. My dad called me on Saturday and asked when I thought the AEW website would be up and running so he could buy a Punk t-shirt. I think the last wrestling shirt he owned was a Goldberg one back in 1998 or so.

I tried to check out my CM Punk shirts from PWTees two days ago but the god drat shopping cart was still broken when I tried to actually click to Buy Button, and now the ringer shirts are gone and who knows how long they'll take to come back. I'm v grumpy.

I think my favorite wrestling shirt I have is the Bullet Club Halloween shirt. The most shameful is the original Enzo and Cass shirt that I keep just because it's weird to look at now.

I really regret not picking up the Jay White BLM T-shirt and the SCU Worst Year I've Ever Lived Through T-shirt. The fact that some things can just... go away in Wrestling T-shirt world can be hard to internalize sometimes.

I've got the Wanted: Dead shirt from Mick Foley doing a re-issue of that a few years back. My wife hates it. I also have the El Generico Obey-style OLÉ shirt from just before he signed with WWE. It took him months to get them all out to people because he was overwhelmed with orders, people knew they were never going to get another chance. Mine came with a handwritten note in broken English apologising for the delay and thanking me for my patronage.

I haven’t bought a wrestling shirt in 20 years, but when I get the extra cash I’m definitely buying the Best Friends/Statlander E.T. shirt.

The fact that the MJF - 3 Jeriblow - 0 shirt went on sale moments after he walked out in it is matched in wrestling genius only by the fact that the shirt is destined to be out of date in two weeks. I can only hope that whether he wins or loses MJF has 4-0 and 3-1 shirts all printed up and ready to go for All Out.

Still proudly rocking the "Captain Charisma" shirt that got quickly pulled from WWE Shop, probably because they couldn't trademark Captain Charisma. I also like how much new "old" merchandise is still being found for companies. I recently bought a WCW 1999 trading card set that only came out in Peru. I hope to continue finding new "old" WCW stuff till I die.

AEW's crushing it with the latest merch for Cole and Bryan, although Ruby's shirt is weird. But can I just point out this gem?
