Rob Schamberger, WWE's artist-in-residence and host of the Network's Canvas-2-Canvas painting programme, is unquestionably talented. A wide range of his impressionist watercolours appear on WWE licensed shirts, with beautiful results. Each of them justifiably sits alongside the company's regular output.

Except one. This is no slight on Kevin von Erich, but that he is the recipient of his own t-shirt is rather baffling. Even Kerry - an actual former WWE wrestler and IC champion, no less - has no 'Legends' merchandise in the store. One can only presume the tragically murky circumstances surrounding the demise of the other von Erich siblings precludes them from selection, but surely having Kevin as the lone representative just draws further attention to the fact?

It certainly has in this instance.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
