I wholeheartedly agree with your comment. I've had deep wrestling conversations so many times with people I've just met as a result of frequently wearing wrestling t-shirts out. These conversations have been in stores, restaurants and just walking on the street.
Yes! The wrestling t-shirts are this great shorthand. I was at a burger place a couple years ago wearing a Kevin Owens shirt and this guy asked me about it. He was just getting back into wrestling. We talked for a bit and it turns out we had some mutual friends. Small world. It definitely brings people together, even if it's just a brief "Too Sweet" to someone wearing an NWO or Bullet Club shirt while walking down the street.
Sting shirts always result in someone coming up to talk to me about their favorite Sting matches. Once, one guy left his seat in an outdoor restaurant to follow me into the parking lot because he wanted to talk about Sting. Another memorable time I was wearing an Adam Cole shirt and two people came up to me who were walking their dog and started taking about Cole’s career. We ended up getting into a long conversation about NWA in the ‘80s. I really enjoy these conversations with other fans, and they remind me a lot of the same conversations I use to have with other fans at wrestling shows a few decades ago when I use to go to a lot of live events.
Following the campaign!! I’m excited for the launch and looking forward to supporting the book. Delaying it means you want it to be the best it can be, and your fans appreciate that! FWIW, I like stickers. Also, I hear t-shirts can be too expensive to justify as stretch goals but fun merch on their own. :) Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks Devin! I really appreciate that. I'm also partial to stickers. I am just running out of places to put them. They're also easy to throw in with a comic shipment where t-shirts are tougher. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving, James! It's not an easy decision to put off a campaign you've been looking forward to, but I know that it will be worth the wait!
Thanks MJ! That's the idea. Bigger and better.
