We have the thread in sports about people seeing random ass fan gear in public. Even though wrestling shirts are pretty popular and easy to come by these days, I still pop a little bit inside when I see someone wearing wrestling merchandise in public. I have a needlessly big collection of wrestling shirts and love breaking random ones out in public. Let's use this thread to share stories of when we see people wear stuff in public or if there are stories about encounters when wearing wrestling merch yourself that you find entertaining.
Recently, I was in San Diego on a business trip and did a double take when I saw a guy sitting in the outside tables at the Cheesecake Factory in Downtown San Diego sporting the CODY American Nightmare Bullet Club shirt. Fairly common these days, a Hot Topic shirt, but even with the momentum of The Elite and AEW, as someone who was pro-Cody since he was a vanilla rookie in WWE and owns multiple of his WWE shirts, it was cool to see,
Yesterday I ran into a Wal-Mart to grab something and saw a guy approaching me wearing the Randy Orton shirt from a little bit back that had the green RKO on it. That made me smile, only to see about five feet behind him someone (who I presume was with him) following in the Red, White and Blue Roman Reigns logo shirt from around the same time.
With myself, I think I mentioned the time I got a lot of attention wearing a JINDER MAHAL shirt during his title reign and when some guy marked out for my TJP shirt when I was on vacation last year. I usually wear the less common ones when I go to show, which leads to comments, like the bizarre interaction I had with some guy who loved my Riott Squad shirt at the Royal Rumble and wanted me to go "riot" with him after the show, whatever he meant by that.
A few weeks back I wore a Cena shirt I had picked up cheap while I was working around the house. I had run into the store to grab something when some lady from the checkout started asking me all about Cena and the movie Bumblebee, though she seemed to treat him more like a movie star than a wrestler - yet my U Can't Stop Me shirt got her attention without any reference to Cena.
A few weeks before that I wore that #ELEVENYEARS shirt with the big picture of Kofi's face that was on sale leading into Wrestlemania and a kid working at the IHOP I stopped in to eat came over to tell me how much he loved my shirt.
