7 WWE T-Shirts That Were Total Rip-Offs

For a form of entertainment that usually revolves around two men grappling in their underwear, wrestling really does have a close relationship with t-shirts. Who could forget such classics as Mick Foley's 'WANTED' tee, CM Punk's 'Best In The World' design, and (of course) the nWo's now-iconic logo. The WWE has never been shy of "borrowing" certain elements of pop culture when crafting storylines or characters, and this sensitivity to the mainstream naturally extends to ring attire. Merchandise sales are a crucial part of the promotion's income, and t-shirts remain the bread and butter of merch. Occasionally, the influence of a certain t-shirt is slightly too obvious. Close associations with the industries of music, film, and even other wrestling promotions have resulted in some of the most recognisable (even iconic) t-shirts in WWE history.

7. Eddie Guerrero Goes Cuban

One of the most beloved anti-heroes of all time - not the most physically impressive, but one who rose to the top via a mixture of bravery, underhandedness, and more than a touch of crazy. And that's just Eddie Guerrero. No other WWE superstar in history would be more worthy of pulling on a t-shirt aping the legendary poster of Scarface, Al Pacino's beloved gangster romp. The movie's influence is shamelessly apparent; everything from the black and white split background to the contrasting red font screams 'Scarface', creating an association which perfectly suited Eddie's loveable rouge act. Another crucial point in the t-shirt's favour is that it looks incredibly, incredibly cool. Wrestling tees often overcomplicate things, with various spiralling designs and huge, screaming slogans plastered all over the place. Guerrero's most famous shirt is simple, bold, and ties him perfectly to an appropriate fictional legend.
