EllsworthMana is running wild in WWE, and there's numbers to back it up!

On WWE.com, the number one selling item on the entire site is a James Ellsworth t-shirt. The shirt was released earlier this week, and was featured in a segment with Dean Ambrose on SmackDown.

What makes this so bizarre (and so cool for Ellsworth) is that Goldberg returned on Monday, and had a new shirt released as well. So a guy that would have been squashed by Goldberg in the late '90s is now out-selling him in merchandise!

This has been a pretty incredible year for Ellsworth, as he went from being a throwaway jobber in a Braun Strowman squash match, to being featured in two big SmackDown main events. And now, his shirt reigns supreme over every single WWE superstar.

Even if WWE doesn't sign him to a full-time deal, you can imagine he'll keep showing up in guest spots for years to come. There's already rumors going around of him entering the Royal Rumble, which would now feel a bit empty without his presence.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
