Went take in a huge 80s tribute band last night (attendance was close to 1000). I wore my Rowdy Roddy Piper shirt since it was an 80s tribute band. I didn't feel like full on cosplay (and it seems 80s themed T-shirts was what everyone did).
Interactions I had and what I've learned due to wearing this shirt:
1. Failed pro wrestlers will tie you up for 30 minutes, ignoring the band, shouting in your ear about their life and readily have pictures from 5 years ago on their phone to prove the stories (but none with the wrestlers name dropped). Also they have photos of their WWE check from their try out. He was a cool guy otherwise, but weird interaction.
2. Active "pro" boxers that lost a title fight via decision last week in Atlanta are cool as shit and I'm pissed I didn't get his last name to go friend him on Facebook.
3. Middle aged drunk women think "Hot Rod" waved his hand and then cupped it to his ear for audience interaction. And they will belligerently demand you reenact this for their amusement.
4. When you share the restroom with the venue owner and wash your hands he will compliment both your shirt, and your hygiene ("Man not a lot of guys bother to wash their hands") and then laugh at your bad jokes (I told him I didn't want to be patient 0 when the talent gets sick).
....and I'd considered the Bayley shirt.
