and that is up to how many shirts?

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!

didnt someone say on here before you get destroyed on customs or something when ordering from wwe shop?

EdK · 27-07-2011 3:34pm

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.

JP Liz V1 · 27-07-2011 5:18pm

MitchKoobski · 27-07-2011 5:21pm

Naw, not on Euroshop. Think I'm gonna wait until they are.

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!!

Source: The Wrestling Observer

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
