Young Bucks' Shirts Expanding Into Every Hot Topic in US

[Drones]

In the Young Bucks interview with Meltzer they said the Hot Topic CEO was in Orlando during WM this year, saw Bullet Club shirts everywhere and wanted to put them in the stores. So he went to WWE and when they said they weren't theirs, he got in touch with the Bucks and that's how the shirts got in Hot Topic.

I don't much care for most of these guys matches but for them to have such a hot shirt without WWE is pretty groundbreaking. Makes me excited for the future of wrestling.

I was thinking about this the other day, there used to be anywhere between 10-12 million viewers watching wrestling weekly between WWF/WCW in the Attitude Era. Obviously, some people did move on from wrestling (some probably did go to MMA) but think of all the new fans there are who grew up on the Ruthless Aggression era and John Cena.

There has to be many more wrestling fans out there who just choose not to watch RAW every week. Maybe they watch the YouTube vids or just read about what happens or simply don't care.

But with how much access we have now with highspeed internet the indies and ROH and New Japan and CMLL are much more accessible. It makes it possible to be very well known without being in WWE.

I was told that the Young Bucks & Kenny Omega didn't appeal to "casuals", though.

Yo, they got the official BC logo shirt there.

Gonna hit up HT if I can't get into the NJ show(s).

The Young Buck are killing the merchandising business as well? They truly are elite

This is another step forward for all wrestlers. Since they're considered independent contractors, moves like this give them a very consistent revenue stream. Especially if the cut is nice.

Has anybody bought any of the BC shirts from Hot Topic? I'll buy if it's better than PWT quality

One thing hot topic does well is wrestling tees especially exclusives. I grabbed a Nakamura one off there a few weeks ago and it's super dope

Their quality is definitely better than pwt

Hot Topic appeals to a very specific crowd.

Young Bucks are a small fish in a small pond.

I'm a NJPW casual who starts paying attention around January 4 only, but if they get the classic BC shirt in, I'm gonna buy it. One of the best wrestling shirts ever.

Superkicking their way into greatness
