Sometimes its not enough to buy all of the WWE merchandise you can find at stores, online or at live events. Sometimes what you really, really want isnt being made by official wrestling promotions, and you have to dig into the creative paddling pool that passes for your brain and make your own. Now, we can understand how making your own bootleg wrestling t-shirts could be a hell of a lot of fun: a nod and a wink to a fandom thats probably gone on through childhood, adolescence, college and into adulthood. And people like Heelbook have made a comfortable living creating t-shirts especially for smarks who cant bring themselves to pay for official merch (Google them, theres some good stuff there our favourite was the old classic, sadly discontinued Anaconda Vice shirt in the style of the Miami Vice logo). Then theres the sites that allow you to create your own wrestling singlets. Fair enough, fair enough we get the first twinges of unease here, but no doubt indie wrestlers could use it as a resource, right? But then theres the sites where you can create your own custom title belts or the guy that spends all his available time 3D printing his own wrestling Subbuteo figures Someone, somewhere is currently munching on his or her own homemade old school WWF ice cream bar. Alone. In their underwear. Watching the WWE Network.
