Do you know who Barry Didinski is?

If you answered no, then congratulations. You fall into the same category as 99.9% of pro wrestling fans. If you answered yes, then commiserations, because you must own one of the worst pieces of WWE merchandise in promotional history. Mr. Didinski fooled you and your parents.

Baz popped up on Raw in 1995 to promote various merch items and kid on they were that season's hottest fashion accessory. Looking back, it's a wonder anybody thought oversized white In Your House t-shirts with the worst ironed-on printing ever were worth $19.99 (plus shipping), even in 1995.

Some of the shirts were plain rotten, and they only seemed to come in size XL or above. Basically, if you weren't Kevin Nash and didn't want to look like a total goof, then you had to look elsewhere for your fashion fix.
