10 Worst T-Shirts In WWE History

8. CM Punk - Honey Badger

A good rule of thumb is that, culturally, WWE is always about 10 years behind the times. That's why so many wrestlers had mullets well into the '90s, and why the company only got out of its Nickelback phase. It also explains just why WWE has had so much trouble connecting to the Internet generation.

Case in point, the "CM Punk is like a honey badger" t-shirt, which looks like a third party knockoff but was indeed put out by the company. Long after a viral video about honey badgers (and how they just don't give a f*ck) achieved popularity, WWE decided to put out this heinous shirt that showed a complete lack of understanding for why anybody found the meme funny or what anybody would want to wear, ever.

Apparently, the takeaway is supposed to be that CM Punk is a bad-ass who just doesn't give a f*ck, but this makes it seem more like he's a mustelid that first came into existence in the middle of the Pliocene era.
