Dude come on.
Hot Topic again literally after a month put their shirts in every store across North America After they initially only had them at specific outlets.
Are you seriously going to pretend we can't know that it has been massively successful?
All I own now is the Andre tee that FE's leaner brother helped advertise.
Stay classic, stay safe.

Indie wrestlers getting their shirts in an American Retail store has been previously unheard of.
I feel bad for the areas that you frequent then....just saying.
Or wait , I believe it goes "How ya doin'"
Most NXT shows are 60% Bullet Club or New Japan shirts of some kind.
At WWE Raw and Smacdown there is one in almost every audience shot.
A whole lot of fucking denial up in here.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
We don't know that it means anything specifically money-wise though.

YASS, the lineup for the PROGRESS mini tournament is doooope, everyone I would have wanted pretty much from the "about to break out" level of the Women's BritWres scene.
Welp, Alex Windsor just (re?)injured her knee. She was the nailed on winner as far as I was concerned, so assuming she's replaced, makes this tourney even more interesting than it was.
If someone shirt is selling well at a major retailer then i going to guess the money is really good.
You'd have to be delusional or have a weird axe to grind to not give the Bucks and Omega credit for making BC a bigger cash cow than it's ever been. Even the Being the Elite videos are pulling 100k+ viewers on the regular. That kind of exposure and that kind of grassroots popularity is pretty wild because it's just two brothers making videos with some of their friends in the business. It's unprecedented. I know it's fun to mock the WWE for trumpeting their social media figures, but it's only that way because they're declining or stagnant in all other metrics. For a couple wrestlers though, that's unheard of outside of the WWE marketing machine and you'd have to willfully delusional to think that it hasn't had a massive effect on merch sales for them.
Dont worry, I'm sure there will be a segment with Cena and Hogan in WWE.

NJPW is dumb if they want to expand into the US for the same reasons Meltzer has pointed out several times (e.g. they should focus on where they are popular and not try and move into competitive markets), but also because it just means they don't get wrestling isn't cool and that there's no way a bunch of youtube dorks are going to make wrestling cool again.

I think even Cena would protect his brand and say no.
I'm willing to bet on it. This isn't some foolish bet like I did last time, either.

It means they sell well.
What so you mean we don't know what it means.
Btw Cody basically personally thanked the Bucks and referenced the Hot Topuc deal as a reason as to why he's making more money now then when he was in WWE
http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news...-rhodes-on-making-more-money-now-than-in-wwe/
I would bet on it, but there's no end date other than one of them dying for me. If WWE forgives him, then Cena will too.

I'm speaking more to the idea that they should push forward with NJPW expansion because some tshirts sell well.

Man, I disagree, but there's only one answer until they die, and that ends up with me losing another bet.
How about in the next year? If Cena does anything involving Hogan in a WWE capacity, I'll shit in my hat.

Yep.
I mean these guys literally have their merch sitting in the same column as shirts from the only truly major North American Corporate Wrestling giant.
At Hot Topic Bucks/Omega/Cody are on the same level as WWE. That's fucking nuts.

There's no way Cena would appear with Hogan at this point. Cena's own brand is worth more to him than doing whatever horseshit Vince wants him to do.

Did Cena do anything with Hogan when he was there last? I just remember Rock, Stone Cold, and a lot of network shillinh.

Who the hell was talking about that?!
That has nothing to do with how successful the Hot Topic deal has been for Bucks/Omega/Cosy/Scurll.
I mean guys Marty Scurll has a tshirt in just about every outlet if a North American wide retail store thanks to what the Bucks/Omega pulled off... Marty Scurll.
What does that even mean.
Nah, I think Hogan will be back for Mania 35 and not this one. Still just a little too much heat for the employers of Michael Hayes.

I'd happily avatar bet you, but not within the next year, I think it might still be longer than that.
Before it becomes a cool thing to do I just want to share that I think Gabe Sapolsky is terrible at what he does and his "fingers in ears, I'm not listening" nature shows how one dimensional he and his booking really is.
Ever since September 2006 I've despised him. Just getting that off my chest.

What the fuck are you guys doing?

NJPW send Suzuki and RoH gave us a D grade match with Cody. Honestly, if NJPW wants to expand in the US RoH is not the platform to do it, so until they establish a base of operation in the USA sending B-C grade players to RoH is a good use of their talent.

Yup they're everywhere... And the shirts were selling like crazy here too, it took me over a month or so to find any in store because they'd sell so fast, my local one sold their first stock out in 2 days, their second stock in 4.
