10 WWE Superstars With The Worst T-Shirts EVER

8. Rikishi

The Rock Bad Shirts

Hard to argue the synergy - if not the style - of Rikishi's merchandise, but the key feature of his apparel sharing the key feature of his act left his biggest fans looking like the biggest a*sholes.

As instructed by the shirts themselves, let's back our own a*sses up for a second though. His struggle with the streets years earlier wasn't shifting any 'Making A Difference' hats in the same way about as many fans were buying Headshrinker action figures with boots on as were investing in the cartoonish challenge with footwear as a concept.

It stands to reason (if you stretch that reason further than the company stretched the character long after his post-"I did it for The Rock" heel turn) that his major selling point as a performer could potentially be replicated in merchandise.

It's almost easier to rationalise this way. Picture a hoard of frightened suits around a table with a fist-clenching Vince McMahon at the top demanding clobber for his latest surprise hit. Infuriated with blank stares, his own gaze darts towards the lighting as the sounds of wallets emptying worldwide give him the giddy thrill it still does today.

"THEY WANT HIS A*S?! LET'S GIVE THEM HIS A*S!"
