Without name dropping anyone, we are aware that there are PLENTY of alternative wrestling t-shirt companies producing some witty designs to rival WWE’s official merch range. Our t-shirt won’t be anything like that. We honestly believe that our design is going to be the coolest (“cool”…do people say that in 2013? How about “dench”? Not quite sure what that means actually) wrestling t-shirt that you will own. Well, if you’re fast enough to get one as we are only going to release 40 shirts in the design.
