I occasionally wear my Psych Ward shirt or Jerichoholic t-shirt, however if I had a Cactus Jack or the JOB Squad shirt with the baby giving the finger, you would have to pry it off me. Never fear, dunkndollaz, I have been know for printing off reports and news bytes to read.

Whenever I wear my Outsiders shirt around my intellectual friends, they think it's based on the S.E. Hinton novel of the same name. As far as my "Just Bring It" shirt goes, nobody really asks what it mean, but they ask about the "It" in question and its whether or not "It" is brought. I just nod and smile.

Y'know what shirt I've been hunting for for months now, and have yet to find? The Brian Pillman shirt he wore in ECW. The one with his face on the front, and his 4-Horsemen logo in front of his face, and on the bottom it said "Brian F'n Pillman". Someone needs to hook me up with that.

I'm too cheap to buy much in the way of wrestling t-shirts (hey, I can get t-shirts from the companies I work for free, and promote my business when I wear them) but I do have a red-n-black nWo t-shirt and I don't mind wearing it to non-wrestling events. It's always fun when some stranger comes up and does the "too sweet" hand thing, especially when I'm with friends who have no idea what's going on.

The one t-shirt that I wish I had bought was the old WCW "Monday Night Jericho" shirt. Those were cool.

I wear a Gateway Championship Wrestling (local indy) shirt all the time, and I will occasionally wear the Sadman Drunk 24:7 shirt to bars. I have ordered the new cheat 2 win shirt and that will become my official test taking shirt here in grad school.

I have "Finally the Rock..." shirt with the date and arena name from when they came to Norfolk in August. I have no problem wearing that one in public. And everybody that knows me knows Im a huge wrestling fan. They try to make fun but I either blow them off or give them my its just a tv show speech. that usually shuts them up.

I have a Billy Gunn, "All this...And a really great Ass too' shirt that I wear. It was the only wrestling shirt I 've bought since I've gotten older. I always that that it was the most hilarious tacky shirt ever made.

Nah... I think I'd be too self-conscious. Although I do have the aforementioned Kurt Angle "SUBMIT" one, which I'd probably wear out...

I would if I ever saw one that was remotely tasteful. They're so trashy and gaudy.

I've got an NWA - Tradition Rules shirt with the names of all the NWA World Champions (Up to and including Ogawa). I'll wear that out sometimes still, you can tell an old-tymer like myself by their reaction to that one.

I know that it could have gotten me at least one date if I'd been the slightest bit interested.

I usually wear my ACW or A2NWO shirt under my suit jacket while hosting karaoke. Sometimes I'll substitute the classic nWo shirt, though. A few of my patrons are often sporting Austin gear.

I must own around 5 or 6 nWo shirts, and I'd often wear them under open-faced fancy shiny shirts. Or in the summertime, they're under my leather jacket when I'm on my bike...which back in '98, had the nWo Hollywood logo on the side of the seat. (My leather jacket has a small nWo patch below the back collar, too.)

Geez, I'm a mark.

    Of course, if you wear a wrestling shirt out in public, I recommend you do it where your sure you won't be trying to pick up some chick. This rule especially applies to those who thought it would be cool to buy the Triple H shirt that has "No Foreplay" written in big, bold letters on it.


Would one that says Suck It! 'go down' any better?

I'll wear my shirt, and pass by someone. If there a wrestling fan, they give me a thumbs up or something.

I have no shame in letting the world know I'm a wrestling fan. I'm comfortalbe in it. It's a part of who I am. If the world doesn't like it, screw 'em.

Definitely the Kaientai "EVIL" shirt. The reason why that and shirts like "Cheat 2 Win" and "SUBMIT" work is because they also work outside a wrestling context. I mean, who wouldn't want to wear a cheerfully colored shirt that declares that they are EVIL in helpful block letters? Every time I wear it to an anime con invariably I'll get a few people calling out "INDEED!" as I cruise by, proving the gimmick is not dead, either.

Problem is, finding shirts like that AT an event is hard; every single WWE event I went to I'd ask for the EVIL shirt and they never had it, but had plenty with the Rock's latest silly catchphrase on it. I had to go to shopzone for one instead. I did manage to get a glossy pic of 2 Cool w/Rikishi at an event once, one week before they broke up, which is kind of sweet.

As someone else noted, I would definitely wear the Team Angle velour warmup suit in public, if I was in the habit of wearing warmup suits. Every time they come out in those, I tell my husband, "I want one of those in blue." ;-)

I only own one wrestling t-shirt and I wear it wherever I can (when a button down shirt and slacks aren't required)., It's a red "Gotch-Ism" t-shirt. It says "Gotch-ism" on the front, and "Snake pit" on the back. pretty cool, and garanteed to start a conversation with fans of Japanese wrestling or wrestling history buffs who know who Karl Gotch is.

I have five wrestling related shirts...

I've never worn the Jericho hockey jersey in public. It has a permanent place hanging on the back of my door.

I wear my Rey Misterio shirt in regular rotation.

I have never worn my Goldberg shirt out in public (it was a promo from work).

I have worn my Syxx N.W.O. shirt to McDonalds once, and then put it in the trunk with all of my wrestling figures and PPV tapes.

I wore my L.W.O shirt to the Smackdown taping here in San Diego this year, and after the reactions... I decided I should probably not wear it again.

I only have one....an old WWF shirt that I sometimes wear. I really want a "Cheat 2 Win" shirt and a "Mattitude" shirt though. I went to a Raw house show Sunday hoping to get one, but all they had was RAW wrestler's T-Shirts. None of them very good, either, IMO.

I usually wear at least one a week...if I pull it out of my dresser in the morning. Actually, right now I'm wearing my Raw is Jericho shirt. I have about four Jericho shirts and one Lita one (only because it has an anime look to it).

I frankly don't care what people think of me watching wrestling, so I'm perfectly comfortable wearing them in public.
