Pity it doesn't have the original 'Chicago 7*17*11' on it, but still I think I may be tempted into purchasing my first wwe T-shirt since the Eddie 'Viva La Raza' tribute t-shirt.

If the Summer of Punk wants to be more like the Summer of George he should turn up next week & pretend he never quit or he could just fake a disability.

Postage for one or two t-shirts is 6.95USD, so around 5 Euro.

They say it can take between 7-14 business days to arrive, but bear in mind that they won't have the shirt in stock until August 5th.

If he was to slip a mickey into Trips water it would be the greatest conclusion to a storyline ever.

1 or 2 is 6.95 USD (4.80 euro)

3 or 4 is 10.95 USD (7.55 euro)

5 or 6 is 14.95 USD (10.30 euro)

And i'm guessing it just goes up by 4 dollars for every 1 or 2 you add.

That actually works out cheaper than the euroshop!

If I was buying a Man United jersey over here id always get medium so would that mean I should buy an American shirt in size small?

Only if you go ordering a load of stuff one tshirt won't have any customs charges

i think it's a 22 euro limit and a $25 shirt with postage comes to just over 22 but I'd say it'd be grand unless they are just in a bad mood whatever day yours comes in at

If you buy in multiples customs tends to think you are playing to resell those items rather than use for your own use. It is a red flag.

jaykhunter · 27-07-2011 4:36pm

could u even say they are presents or something?

when u get stung with customs is it a docket to pay it? what if u used another address or something; or do they track you via whoever pays via credit card? .....use of a 3V one any good?

You can hardly ask WWE to mark as present can you? Whenever I order from ROH, Smartmark I ask them to mark as gift and they oblige.

StoneColdFan · 27-07-2011 4:47pm

last time i bought 4 items off wwe shop and was charged over €40 for customs but one shirt you should be fine as said above

jaykhunter · 27-07-2011 4:51pm

jaysus. i guess u could make 4 separate orders? OR you could ask at (Gasp!) wrestlingmania to quote you a price on ordering one in?

I thought WM bought from the wwe euroshop site, obviously so they dont get hit with said custom charges?
If they do, some of the shirts start at like 32 euro.
And thats before delivery.

Interesting read on the whole CM Punk coming back thing and the angle in general here:
http://withleather.uproxx.com/2011/07/the-best-and-worst-of-wwe-raw-725/8

For all of the back and forth considerations regarding CM Punk's return this past Monday on Raw, I think this article best articulates why his quick return was a good thing. Though, not only that, the author goes as far as to state that this was all planned from the beginning.

At the very least it's an interesting read and analysis of the potential implications for why everything has progressed as it has thus far. Worth a read IMO.

I think you are being a tad harsh on wrestling mania here - I've dealt with them a number of times now and i can't recommend them enough! Prices are very reasonable and if you want anything ordered in It's no bother!

back on topic - i want that tshirt!!

According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there were actually six different scripts written for RAW – one of which would have resulted in Triple H laying out CM Punk with a pedigree.

Although the obvious scenario would be for WWE to capitalize on CM Punk’s recent popularity and push him to the moon, most of the scenarios presented for Monday’s RAW were not to get Punk over, but to emphasize Triple H’s new role as Vince McMahon’s successor.

Prior to WWE settling on what we saw unfold on Monday night, the original plan for CM Punk’s return was for him to get attacked and pedigreed by Triple H. Alberto Del Rio then would have come out, cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase, become WWE champion and then defend the WWE title against John Cena at SummerSlam. While this would have certainly put Triple H over as a major heel and led to an eventual program with a babyface CM Punk cooler heads prevailed and the angle of Punk getting squashed on the night of his return was scrapped.

BOWN DOWN TO THE KING :rolleyes:

jaykhunter · 28-07-2011 10:25am

LOL. If that went down I'd've had to stop watching WWE for a bit to cool off. But as it stands it's just rumour. A terrifying rumour. It's like someone wrote down my worst-case-scenario of my fears of HHH back on TV

rovert · 28-07-2011 10:27am

jaykhunter · 28-07-2011 10:36am

It's just a snippet of Punk news so i put it in the CM Punk thread. I'd much rather have one thread with all news on the same topic than multiple small threads. A one stop shop if you will. If you're annoyed about it I'll put it back

JESUS CHRIST!

How could that concept have even been thought about. That would have been enough to turn me off Raw tbh. I've still not forgiven Smackdown for the Christian two day reign but that would have turned me off Raw even quicker...

GTR63 · 28-07-2011 10:37am

How do wwe have the time to do 6 different scripts. I always assumed they sat around & discussed where everything was going in the long term and wrote a script detailing that. Assuming Punk was in at least 1 of them they knew his comeback was a possibility and what he did on Raw would hardly of taken hours of thought & writing.

Every creative team member writes an entire script for Raw/Smackdown and they then they decide on the best one or combine them or Vince just screams at them to rewrite it again. :pac:

Awh, bless.

Nope, WWE is becoming increasingly famous for barely thinking two weeks ahead, let alone sitting down and planning out long term. The problem comes that they write a script for Raw on Friday, change it saturday, change it again Sunday and change it again on Monday, before one final change of script comes before the show airs...

jaykhunter · 28-07-2011 10:51am

Trips is a smart wrestling guy, when he gets settled in hopefully we'll get some long term booking and stay the course. He headed the last overseas tour and people said it was a much more relaxed, smoother affair. That is if he's actually in charge now, lol.

GTR63 · 28-07-2011 11:07am

I'm willing to bet the Smackdown script doesn't get tampered with constantly cause at least they seem to know where they are headed & its a very simple show to keep up with.

Smackdowns does work differently for the reasons youve said, it isnt the flagship or live and it is after an exhausting live show the night before.

When Michael Hayes was Smackdown Head Writer he would tell the writing team what he wants and they wrote it up. So writers had less creative input.
