Anything that upsets wrestling fans is cool by me. Should have been an all black t-shirt with "I Broke Yoshi and the Scottish Blokes Neck" in white letters, though. That design is horrible. Its a ProWrestlingTees shirt, so what do you expect. Most of their designs are pretty useless.

I'm intrigued by the Adrian Neville makeover. I've always wondered where he'd fit in on the main roster with his look and personality so a masked gimmick would certainly give him a new edge. But then again they've spent a year building him up in NXT as their long reigning champion so I'm not sure how he'll feel about the prospect of a "mighty mouse" type character.

The difference between the Owen Hart / Austin shirt scenario and the AJ Styles shirt is that, whereas The Owen Hart driver was a one off freak accident and the angle after that was used beautifully to put Austin over huge, Styles' shirt is incredibly classless.

 

AJ Styles, regardless of who's fault it is, is trying to profit at the expense of the fact that he has badly injured, or almost injured, a number of wrestlers with his signiture move.

 

Continuing to use the move "because the other guys didn't tuck their heads backwards" is one thing, but actually profiting from it makes you a real piece of work. Shame really.

ProWrestlingTees came up with the design. Not AJ Styles. Look at some of the designs on that website. Its a t-shirt company trying to latch onto the controversey. You really think he's sitting the house pen and paper in hand designing those awful looking hipster wrestling fan t-shirts? He's not some BritWres hack. He's actually under contract to a big promotion, and earns top money for someone outside WWE.

 

The ProWrestlingTees thing is simple. The wrestlers sign up for it, PWT design the shirts, the wrestlers get the money. Its an independent line of t-shirts where they wrestlers take a cut in exchange for the t-shirt company to have their name. Its free money for the wrestlers to basically do no work. Hence why Steve Austin and CM Punk are signed up for it. Free money for fuck all.
