15 greatest shirts in pro-wrestling history
Oh man, was this one a hard list to make...There are so many great and memorable shirts from wrestling history, it was an incredibly arduous task to narrow it down to just the 10 best ever. So, I chose to do 15 instead, and even still, I had a few honourable mentions on there. But I digress -
It's not easy to be a professional wrestling fan. You can hardly mention that you like pro-wrestling in public, as you'll almost immediately be met with comments like "ooh, that stuff's fake!" or "ooh, they can't actually fight!" and blah, blah, blah, you've heard it all before. As such, wearing a professional wrestler's signature shirt in public is often tantamount to social suicide.
Luckily, these shirts make it a little easier.
So today, I'm going to rank them; the top 15 greatest, most iconic shirts in pro-wrestling history. I compiled the following list based on design, relevance to its character, and memorability/mainstream popularity. This is one of the few lists that I'll make that actually IS in a particular order, so feel free to disagree with my placements and/or suggest other ones in the comments. Let's begin!
#15 - Brock Lesnar: Eat. Sleep. Conquer. Repeat
Brock Lesnar never needed flashy gear, as he was never there to put on a show...he was there to destroy people.
And this shirt conveys just that.
Seeing as Lesnar will go down in history as the man who ended Undertaker's WrestleMania winning streak, the choice of the word "CONQUER" could not have been any more fitting.
This is the kind of shirt that not only fits its character like a glove, but it's also a shirt that someone would not be ashamed to wear in public. Heck, you probably wouldn't even have to tell anybody that this was a pro-wrestling shirt; it looks like a shirt that literally any guy at the gym could be wearing at any given time.
Nonetheless, it's a great shirt, and it earns its rightful place on this list.
