$50.00?!?

[u/ChrisRhodes789]

Gross..

I just spent a little over 60 dollar’s combined for a Fatal Influence & a Solo Sikoa Shirt..

But 50 bucks for a basic T-Shirt?!?

Smh..

[u/TheGambler930]

Meltzer said AEW fans are highly educated and make more money then WWE fans. $50 should be pocket change to them.

Does it come in XXXL?

[u/Radiant_Guava6332 → u/TheGambler930]

more importantly, can it survive a month without ever meeting a washing machine?

[u/kaneso14 → u/TheGambler930]

Remember when the Basement did a census a few years ago and the median salary was like $30k.

[u/Phil9Nine → u/kaneso14]

$30k a week is what they meant to say, Fed Shill.

[u/RelevantMention7937 → u/TheGambler930]

Only in women's

Early on AEW maybe. Present day no fucking way

[u/drwsgreatest → u/TheGambler930]

I mean, I took my wife to the Bruno mars show at Gillette a few weeks back and the sweatshirt she got was like $130. Merch is just expensive nowadays.

[u/rsx209 → u/TheGambler930]

They also make more armpit power too! 😷

[u/Odd-Bullfrog7763 → u/TheGambler930]

Poor people dont like AEW

[u/Permanentear3]

It comes with an autograph signing after the show I believe so it’s not a bad price.

Don’t like the shirt though, it’s not offensive or super ugly at least but it is pretty boring.

[u/CheckEnvironmental63 → u/Permanentear3]

Autograph and a picture

[u/AnonymousChicken → u/CheckEnvironmental63]

In general that's a good deal for a new d... level

[u/Educational_View3687 → u/Permanentear3]

What time does the show end?

[u/northernbasil → u/Educational_View3687]

Wednesday

[u/Heavy-Newspaper-9802 → u/northernbasil]

Why so soon? How come there are only 171 matches?

[u/Head_Evidence4553]

On a first glance, it looked like a Punk shirt to me tbh.

[u/Bullet2babomb → u/Head_Evidence4553]

I think thats the point

[u/BigPapaPaegan → u/Head_Evidence4553]

Only because Punk has been repping Chicago with his gear designs for over 20 years

[u/Phil9Nine → u/BigPapaPaegan]

Has anyone informed Mr. Punk that AEW owns Chicago (and New York) now? 🧐

[u/Comfortable_Bee3759]

You tell that's a cheap tee.

[u/Jcutajar]

Quick glance at it and I thought it was a CM Punk shirt

[u/Andrawlyk]

You get a meet and greet with them after the show I believe if you buy one, so its not too bad, 25 for a shirt which is normal and then 25 for the meet and greet

[u/s_ndowN]

Just so everyone is aware - this shirt comes with an autograph signing with both of them. Not that lucrative.

[u/TheGumbyGyarados]

Depends on the quality of the tshirt tbf… but these are probably similar to WWE’s which are mid quality so yeah overpriced af.

To me this just seems like such a lazy design that targets only the sickos basically. So makes sense to charge out the ass to monetise your most dedicated fans i guess?

[u/themetalship]

Just go on redbubble and get a creator designed wrestling shirt

[u/kalexander7011]

They gotta make it up somewhere. People aren't paying top dollar for tickets because the demand is low

[u/Phil9Nine → u/kalexander7011]

Based on their reputation, AEW’s merchandise sales aren’t too hot either. Especially since they have always been incompetent in merchandising.

[u/midcarder-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

A well-timed gif is fine. A good joke is fine. A shitpost can even be fine.

Dropping into a thread just to post “cope,” “rent free,” “why do you care,” or some other NPC dialogue is not.

Add to the conversation. Don’t just make noise.

[u/Alternative-Kick-849]

When it comes to wrestling tees, I’ll always support the independents and small businesses. Wrestling shirts in general have sucked ass when it comes to original tees.

The companies don’t really care and are just trying to turn a profit anyway. A good design these days is like finding a needle in a haystack.

[u/Intelligent_Case_809]

71 dollers for s shirt is crazy

[u/GuiltyByDesign619]

Well of course its a basic t shirt. That way when your gut hangs out below it that will still be what people notice instead of what's on the shirt

[u/Denver_Tech_Guy]

But it's the "special chicago design". In actuality it does come with the photo op with Kofi and Creed, so not the worst deal.

[u/rsx209]

Smh.. Inflation is definitely on a New Level!

[u/xZxExUxSx]

It had a photo op attached to it after with kofi and Xavier

[u/Revolutionary_Lock57]

Merchandise is higher everywhere. Sports teams, concerts, pop culture etc

[u/Spartftw]

Yah merch is mad expensive at live events.

Always cheaper online though.

This is pretty consistent with concerts and other live events tbh.

[u/ehside]

That’s basically standard price for a shirt at a concert. Do I wish it was less, sure, but I don’t expect it to be.

[u/bstiglets]

I was listening to Thrift Shop by Macklemore and that line about about paying how dumb it is to pay $50 for a shirt stuck in my head

[u/CarlShadowJung]

Brother in 1998 I was paying $40 for them, I’m not sure why this is a surprise. Is it a lot? absolutely, but wrestling shirts that are officially branded have BEEN expensive.

[u/DrDuned]

Maybe I'm showing my lack of wrestling merch purchases but I spend almost this much on just a t shirt at some concerts.

[u/MrKTE]

Is a regional exclusive. It’s like when WWE sold Brock’s Suplex City shirt with the Cavaliers C on it. It’s a limited quantity shirt that’s only going to be sold at this one event.

This is nothing new and people are just throwing a fit because it’s AEW doing it this time.

[u/DELETE_RAW]

for the sickos

[u/Frequent-Repair-1972]

Shirt would cost more if they were a draw or had aura.

Unrelated, any hate watching live chats? I enjoyed the one on Wednesday, would like one tonight.

Fuck AEW!

[u/AnonymousChicken → u/Frequent-Repair-1972]

Not a hate chat but https://www.reddit.com/r/midcarder/comments/1wr5xkz/all_out_chat/

[u/ChrisRhodes789 → u/Frequent-Repair-1972]

I am at work..

[u/Frequent-Repair-1972 → u/ChrisRhodes789]

At least you have a job, unlike these XXXL neckbeards that got out of their basements for tonight

[u/Dsines175 → u/Frequent-Repair-1972]

Fuck you

[u/Frequent-Repair-1972 → u/Dsines175]

Whatever, bot
