There was a time when guys like The Young Bucks and Marty Scurll would have been wearing Mick Foley's t-shirts instead of selling their own alongside his. At OTT wrestling events in Dublin and Belfast recently, Foley was left stunned that his "Wanted" shirts sold way less than Bullet Club and Villain Club ones did.

At first, Mick thought this was a complete fluke, but he's only too happy to admit how wrong he was.

Sharing a lengthy post on his Facebook page, Foley admitted that he's still stunned by how over the Bullet Club are with wrestling fans worldwide. As an industry legend, Mick believed he might be competitive with all the other shirts at the merchandise stall. He was, with every shirt aside from those sporting some BC branding.

Foley's surprise experience extended to seeing around 400 Bullet Club shirts in the live crowd for a North East Wrestling show in Connecticut. Only then did he realise that these guys were onto something special. Get with the times, Mick.
