Meanwhile someone at WWE HQ is still trying to understand why their are more Bullet Club shirts at WWE events then anyone else besides John Cena

If you think this is some big marketing genius thing, it's really not:

The Bullet Club gained a ton of hype and recognition from the WWE fandom when the rumors began with AJ, Gallows and Anderson. The problem was getting those shirts at mass scale wasn't totally easy for the more casual fan. The moment they hit an easy to acquire location (Hot Topic) of course they're going to sky rocket in TV view.

 

[serenewarfare]

Again, I don't think the five year crew is about WWE caving entirely and going away.. Just in five years it wont be the same mega company it is now.

If the TV deal holds, they'll be pretty much the same.

Have they really sky rocketed in the last month?

 

[Tall4Life]

Have they really sky rocketed in the last month?

Apparently they're a top seller according to Meltz, beating out most WWE merch

 

[slightconfuse]

Have they really sky rocketed in the last month?

Meltzer talked on his latest show that the top 3 shirts he saw at a house show we're all BC variants

Bring back NWO!

Their TV deal will be for less than they're expecting just like last time.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Have they really sky rocketed in the last month?

When I watched NXT last week I saw them all over the crowd. Also been seeing them more and more in the arenas for RAW/Smackdown

The reports also say they were selling out fast at Hot Topic

If the TV deal holds, they'll be pretty much the same.

When you say hold do you mean them getting one or them getting the same money? With the current shit in TV going on in all area's I'm a little iffy on them getting the same money.

 

[Draxal]

He said they had more shirts at nxt San Jose then any other shirt.

NXt tours are going to be more smarkey, but I really think Vince underestimates the appeals of stables.

Look at the Titus Brand salvaging that motley crew in the WWE for instance.

 

[Anth0ny]

Meltzer said the most popular shirts at NXT were two different Bullet Club variations and NWO shirts lol

edit: reddit post sums it up:

Someone he knew was at the door counting the amount of bullet club shirts compared to WWE shirts, Meltzer said he's never seen anything like this before at a WWE event, the only other WWE shirts that were somewhat of a comparison to the amount of bullet club shirts were Balor club and macho man shirts.

20x


Balor club are basically bootleg Bullet Club shirts

Macho is still a draw damn it!

The Progress NYC show was literally a sea of Bullet Club and LIJ shirts/hats/scarves.

WCW :*)

Yeah was about to say, everybody and their imaginary friend had NWO shirts back in the day.

 

[Sephzilla]

Bullet Club shirts popping up all over now that a US retailer has them doesn't surprise me at all.

 

[Heroman]

It funny when people say that the bc should be disbanded, they forget how much stuff they sell.

Especially since they are the "heir" to the NWO according to Nash.

I thought they were talking about how they wanted the elite/split that Tama Tonga has been pushing on twitter.

 

[Sephzilla]

Especially since they are the "heir" to the NWO according to Nash.

Bullet Club, nWo, and Macho Man shirts are probably three of the better looking wrestling shirts I've ever seen. So it doesn't surprise me that they're so popular.

 

[Beefy]

That religion thread. Dudes sticking up for priests that don't don't report child abuse.

 

[slightconfuse]

It funny when people say that the bc should be disbanded, they forget how much stuff they sell.

But the members don't get a cut which is why the elite was formed

 

[Mahonay]

BUT IT'S A SACRED CONVERSATION WITH GOD!

An imaginary man in the sky is more important to a lot of people than saving children from abuse.

 

[Heroman]

Bullet club shirt is legit safe, when I wear at school people ask me where I got it from.

 

[blackaroni]

Bullet Club shirts are hideous. Is being the top seller atHot Topic really a big deal?

It's fucking weird man. Even my deeply religious mom says they should call the feds when some one confesses crazy shit.

Nah it isn't, no wrestling shirt is safe

 

[Mahonay]

Yes. The are a major retailer in the US market.

I'd say the highest selling wrestling merch in the world not being from the biggest promotion in the world is a pretty big deal

 

[Heroman]

I saw a bro rocking a stone cold shirt a few weeks back.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

It funny when people say that the bc should be disbanded, they forget how much stuff they sell.

nWo shirts continued to sell well through the Wolfpac stuff, doesn't mean it should have continued to happen

They're selling more on their coolness of a shirt than anything else.

 

[Draxal]

Austin 3:16 as well as mentioned here.

 

[klonere]

wrestling shirts are safe if you have some semblance of self-confidence and don't listen to a bunch of self-hating shitposters on an internet messageboard

Spoiler

and don't be unattractive ofc

 

[half a moon]

A group of jobbers should start up nWo again

but i don't


there will never be a #safe wrestling shirt. unless...

WOLFPACK IN THE HIZZZOUUUSSSEEEEEE

 

[Mahonay]

Oversized 90's era Stone Cold shirts became a popular hipster thing in Brooklyn for a while.

Is that Katie Holmes?

 

[Heroman]

Njpw probably has the most cool and stylble wrestling merch mainly dude to stuff from Japan being cool.

You're not wrong.

 

[blackaroni]

Yes. The are a major retailer in the US market.

Since when? Is this recent? I know they have stores, but I didn't think they were major.

I'd say the highest selling wrestling merch in the world not being from the biggest promotion in the world is a pretty big deal

Was that spot held by TNA before that?

 

[XenoRaven]

I wish I would have bought that Kojima "Best Lariater of the World" shirt

 

[Anth0ny]

kendall jenner!

 

[Mahonay]

They've been in every mall for like 20 years.

 

[half a moon]

Oooh

 

[The Strokes]

Sonic Mania is such a good game, fam.

 

[blackaroni]

They've been in every mall for like 20 years.

I know that, but you said major retailer and that typically means more than the 600 or so stores they have. I don't how that place even has that many stores with malls closing these days.

 

[Anth0ny]

Sonic Mania is such a good game, fam.

game of the fucking year is what it is

 

[jmdajr]

Again, I don't think the five year crew is about WWE caving entirely and going away.. Just in five years it wont be the same mega company it is now.

You know how Metal is still huge in other parts of the world but not here, maybe it will be something like that.

edit: I bought Sonic 2 and 3 the other day on sale for Xbox One (thanks to the beautiful, tremendous 360 backwards compatibility). Never played them. Never had a Genesis. My friend lent it to me once but I only beat the first Sonic.

Anyhow. It's cool. I'm into it.

 

[half a moon]

Sonic Mania is such a good game, fam.

Bold face LIES DARKSIDED

 

[Angry Grimace]

Or you could be a brand management genius like the Young Bucks and have more control over your schedule while making more money you'd ever make at WWE.



Holy shit that's incredible, haha.

The number of people who can make more money outside the WWE who don't have to be Japanese can probably be counted on one hand.

 

[Heroman]

I doubt it , they make most of there money here.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Nah it isn't, no wrestling shirt is safe

Macho Man shirt is always safe

 

[Angry Grimace]

Not as much as people think, but its certainly surprising.

 

[Heroman]

You're not wrong.

One of these days I going to buy some stuff
Lij stuff is always on point.
