Wrestling shirts in public

[DaveWadding]

Do you wear your wrestling shirts in public? What kind of comments do you get about them if any?

I have a couple that I wear in my regular rotation (the CM Punk white one, a Cactus Jack Wanted, and a Bret Hart one from his first return) and generally I get people starting conversations related to the shirts. How much they hope Punk will come back, how they used to watch when Bret and Foley were wrestling, having met Foley or other wrestlers. It's kind of a cool thing.

Does this happen to any of you guys?

[Big Vic]

I saw a guy in the gym wearing an nWo wolfpac shirt, I wasn't able to talk to him because he was far away but it automatically made him 10 points cooler in my book.

[Sixx]

I only have one with an entire RAW roster from a few years back.

I don't really wear it in public, if I did people would probably assume I'm hot for oiled up buff men, cause wrestling is not popular here at all.

[Poit]

I don't really have many WWE shirts - just my Bayley "I'm a hugger" shirt.

I do wear other wrestling shirts in public, like my Nacho Man shirt (http://shirt.woot.com/offers/nacho-man-randy-salvaje).

[Ruien]

Nope. The only place I would think about wearing one is at the gym or during a run though.

[drave]

Yep. No shame in what I wear.

Still have a Miz shirt with the Haters Love me on front and Cuz I'm Awesome on the back. People seem to REALLY love that one because it exudes confidence and people like confident people.



Also wear all my "evil" shirts too. Favorite of mine (which I had to stop once my son learned to read) is "How dare I wear this fucking shirt in front of your god damn child!".

[Jari]

I have only seen the following wrestling T-shirts in public:

1) CM Punk Best in the World
2) Daniel Bryan Yes
3) Balor Club
4) Bullet Club
5) nWo

Everyone wearing them looked like the kind of person you can imagine wearing wrestling T-shirts in public.

[Heisenberg]

The nWo shirt gets people talking, the other shirts don't really get any attention. I wear one out in public every chance I get to.

[Wishbone]

Yup, wear 'em all the time. Ain't no shame in rocking a t-shirt of something you love in public. Get a lot of comments on the Sheamus "Celtic Warrior" shirt with the wolf's head eating the chain, though most don't realize it's a wrestling shirt and just think it looks cool. I've gotten a couple comments on the two Undertaker shirts I wear as well, and once on the Bray Wyatt one. Shirt I get the most comments on though is the Bayley "I'm a Hugger" shirt though. I've had quite a few people come up and ask for hugs when I've worn it to big events and stuff.

[Bad News Gertner]

I have a yellow Macho Man riding the Kool Aid Man with "Oh Yeah" on the bottom. I get compliments all the time. I also have a red shirt with Gorilla Monsoon pointing and saying "Will You Stop".
Awesome fucking shirts.

[Jordan]

I have two. Vintage Macho Man shirt, pink. And a Warrior tank I wear in the gym. I love wearing my Macho Man shirt.

[ron the dial]

i have a ton and never really get comments. fine by me.

[Locke]

"More power to" anyone who has no shame in what they wear, but anyone wearing licensed WWE merchandise is embarassing to me

[Emeye]

I have not wore a wrestling shirt since I was a youngster, but I used to have an nWo black & white, an nWo Wolfpac, and a SCSA t-shirt (basic Austin 3:16 as I recall). I don't think wearing a wrestling related shirt in this era, at my age, and most importantly the area that I reside in would go over that well. I don't like, hardcore care what other people think, but I'm also just not into wrestling like I was when I was a kid. Not to mention the fact that it just wouldn't be my style to hit the bar with a Best In The World CM Punk shirt.
However, I will say that I would definitely wear a few WWE shirts from the past few years, but ones that don't appear to be wrestling related. First that comes to mind is Randy Orton. He had some really bad ass shirts, basically just graphic design T's that had nothing to do with wrestling, just really bad ass designs on them. Sheamus had a few I would wear, Celtic Cross designs and what not. A few more I'm forgetting, but you get the gist of what I'm trying to say.
EDIT: Just remembered, as a kid I also had the regular DX shirt ... nWo, Wolfpac, Stone Cold 3:16, and DX. Yea, that's all of them that I owned.

[Fignuts]

Have a few.

Never got any comments til I got my Asuka shirt, since it's rad as fuck, and lots of people have said as much,

[MIZantine Empire]

I have 3 in rotation. I wear my team hell no shirt, usually don't get anything said to me, my hot rod shirt, which gets mixed reactions. Older people ask if I'm into cars, and fans usually say "fuck yea hot rod " and my miz "awesome" T shirt. That one gets the most comments. People really either hate him or love him, but usually gets a conversation going.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Would not be able to wear a wrestling shirt unless it was like the one's gertner talks about. So pretty much only a hipster wrasslin shirt

[Blue Demon]

I have a Hulkamania shirt, WrestleMania 20 shirt that I never wear as it's a souvenir I wanna keep in tact, a "Don't be an assclown" shirt and an ECW shirt.

[The Condor]

I have 2 Savage shirts that I wear. Oddly enough, I see a ton of Bolieve shirts in various places, but I'm not sure if it's ironic hipsters or people who are legit unto Bo.

[Rammsteinmad]

I only have an 'nWo 4 Life' t-shirt that I bought at a WCW house show in 2000. I still wear it now and then, but nobody says anything or gives a shit.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I do. No shame in my wardrobe game. A guy at local library once complimented me on my old-school The Rock "Get Ready..." shirt and had people at my church comment about my Ssbu shirt, and my pastor seemed to enjoy my Miz "Haters ♥ Me/'Cause I'm AWESOME! shirt, and think he once asked about my Ryder shirt too (with the fist pumping Statue of Liberty holding the Internet Championship.

Good times.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Oh, also have heard people nearby me saying "YES" when they notice me wearing my D-Bry "YES" shirt...kinda cool, I guess, even if they're just poking fun @ me...so what...if they are, F 'em.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

You don't live anywhere near Flint do you damn?

[Razzamajazz]

i was at walmart at 2 am a while back and some little kid recognized my bad news barrett shirt.

[DAMN iNATOR]

You don't live anywhere near Flint do you damn?

Actually, yeah, kinda...about 45 minutes SSW approximately. My mother and her mom were both from there and lived there fir the first bit of my mother's life. Dunno for sure when they moved to Lansing, though.

Kinda OT but feel real glad that neither of them have to be around to know about what is going on there...I'm sure they'd both be irate.

I rock the shit out of this all the time.

I have an nWo shirt but I don't wear it as it is signed by Scott Steiner. might get it framed some day.

[Heisenberg]

Wore this yesterday and an old guy who I'd never was a wrestling fan absolutely stopped dead in his tracks and pointed at me. I went over to him and he asked where I got the shirt. I might forego wearing my Austin 3:16 shirt @ Mania for this one. It's my first modern era shirt that got any type of reaction.

[KIRA]

I had a fondness for Orton's earlier (legacy) shirts. I have a Bray Wyatt shirt I'm surprised how many people recognize it.

[Nicky Fives]

I've really only ever seen the old Wal-Mart knockoffs out in public.... only WWE shirt I have is my Bo Dallas "NXT" Bo-lieve shirt that I found at a second hand store... I also have an Impact Wrestling shirt I bought from the house show I went to years ago and have no problems wearing them in public, no one has ever stopped me or nodded in acknowledgement ever....

Probably cause no one knows what Impact Wrestling is tbf

[Big Vic]

If anyone commented on that shirt they'd probably ask how you did at "sectionals"

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Gotta to an inventory for WrestleMania of the shirts I'm going to take. Still need to find my NXT shirt.

[harmsway]

They make shirts in your size?

[weather vane]

Twin Towers "Never Forget"
Demolition tank top
I'm Shawn, You're Marty
Macho Man Purple

[Jordan]

I bought "I'm Shann You're Marty" for my bro as an xmas gift and he lost it.

[drave]

Why would you buy a Shannon Moore shirt? :|

[Evil Vito]

The majority of wrestling shirts I have are ones I picked out specifically because I wouldn't be averse to wearing them in public, like the 2009 CM Punk shirt which looks like a ripoff of a Ramones T-shirt.

[GD]

I have worn a few wrestling t-shirts over time. The Daniel Bryan "YES!" t-shirt got a lot of attention from folks. I have definitely worn the white CM Punk "Best in the World" t-shirt which I donated (bad call). I'm currently adorning a Brock Lesnar t-shirt which will remain tucked inside my hoodie since it reminds me of the horrible Ed Hardy branded t-shirts.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I still have my yellow "GTS"/"BitW" lightning bolt Punk graphic tee. If anyone ever shoots you a dirty look re: your Punk shirt again G.D., may I suggest you look back in their direction and shout at them, "IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!" as loudly as possible.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Why would you buy a Shannon Moore shirt? :|

Because like Moore, he too is a MF'er.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

My mum bought me an Ambrose Asylum shirt and I wear that. Got a CM Punk logo hoodie that noone would recognis and a Nakamura King of Strong Style shirt that noone would recognise. Just got a bullet Club hoodie and an AJ Styles P1 Bullet Club shirt.

nWo Shirt has gotten me free drinks though. The only other shirt I own is a Daniel Bryan Yes Yes Yes shirt which is more of a house and jogging pants t shirt.

[GD]

You're such a wrestling hipster, Hasney.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Oh, and while I think of it, I'm pretty sure it was because of either my classic-style (slightly different font than originals, but whatevs...) Rock shirts with the "JUST BRING IT!" or "LAYETH THE SMACKETH DOWN..." on front for a PPV showing at local bar was what led a guy abd his group to ask to sit with me at my table as I was only one at mine. They joined me every time they were there pretty much ftom then on, too. Felt good to have people to talk to and not be a sad, lonely loser every month there.

[Heisenberg]

My Paul Heyman shirt helped me get assistance within seconds in Best Buy, the dude spoke passionately about wrestling and hated Roman Reigns, also conveying he only came over to help cause of the shirt. He was nice though. Got him some commission or credit towards my purchase.

[DaveWadding]

Walmart has a new Macho Man shirt. I wore it in public today and got like 5 or 6 comments on it. Including an extended conversation about Macho Man as Bonesaw and his rap CD.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Had forgotten all about this thread...probably have way too many other WWE shirts to list here, but I also have the 2013 RVD shirt as well as a shirt of Sabu's made I presume during his brief time with WWE.

[Jazzy Foot]

How much they hope Punk will come back, how they used to watch when Bret and Foley were wrestling, having met Foley or other wrestlers. It's kind of a cool thing.

Does this happen to any of you guys?

Yes. Even wore the WWE football jerseys. No comments really. Occasionally the whole "you know wrestling if fake right?" and I'm like "duh!".

[Destor]

The only good ones are the one that dont immediately appear tk be wrestling shirts. Omes that if you werent in the know you'd never know where wrestling shirts

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Had a few Punk shirts I used to wear. My Rock "Boots to Asses always gets a decent response.

[Theo Dious]

As Kevin Nash once said, the worst shirt in the world is a guy's face.

I've only ever had 2, an original nWo shirt in the late 90s and a Team Angle shirt around 03. The nWo one got a lot of thumbs ups and whistles in college, and the Angle one hot the same from my fellow Pittsburghers.

Hopefully never "get the fuck out of Chuck E Cheese."

[A.J.K]

Just a 2012 Brock Lesnar Shirt.

2 of Punk's, a HHH and a Edge one.

[WinterDecay]

I wear Dusty Rhodes "Hard Times, Daddy" tshirt and a "Monster" shirt with a Kane mask for the O at the gym

[Sixx]

Nash gave me shit over mine because I bought it from Steiner which is apparently a knock off lol.

We laughed about Steiner together though. Pretty fuckin cool dude that Kevin Nash!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Wore Macho Man shirt at Sox game. Everybody was giving me high fives. Ohh yeah dig it.

This is a go-to work shirt for me.

[My Final Heaven]

A Jericho Wrestlemania 26 souvenir shirt that's super comfy, one of my "lazy going to the store" shirts, & a WCW Lionheart sleeveless that I wear running.

Had an orig ECW Blue World Order shirt that I wore till it fell apart

[Lock Jaw]

I like to drink beer when I wear this shirt. Maybe one day I'll drink 6 beers.
