Pulled from LIveaudiowrestling.com
*This deserves the main story slot for today. Reader Ryan Wagner wrote into WWE Shopzone asking about Christian's T-shirt being pulled and WWE responded saying:
Dear Customer-
I'm sorry but due to legal issues this t-shirt has been pulled down from our web and will not be rereleased.

Hmm, that's odd. That would explain the card, too. I wonder what the issue is, though.

What kind of legal issue can keep us from the greatness of a Christian shirt?

I wonder who the hell owns the rights to Captain Charisma.
I can see where Christian Coalition might be a problem though but from what I've read, the problem is with Captain Charisma.

Yeah, it's a legal issue.
The WWE is legally retarded.

I still want to see a Caprtain Charisma shirt that says "Join the CLUB" with the C, L, and B as a different color than the U.
So in other words "Join the CLUB"

It's the "That's how I roll" part that is the copyright problem. It was a popular saying even before Christian; believe it or not, I know, sometimes us wrestling folk live in a little bubble, but my friends and I have been saying it for about a year and a half.

It's the "That's how I roll" part that is the copyright problem. I've been saying that for 4 or 5 years now. It is old, much like Christian himself. (not the man, but his whole act). |

"That's How I Roll" is the dumbest expression I've ever seen on any t-shirt, and the sole reason why I never bought that shirt. I had been waiting for YEARS for a Christian shirt, too. But I wouldn't get it because:
A. It's a stupid expression.
2. Christian NEVER EVER started saying that until a few months AFTER the shirt came out.
D. Christian was better in 2001-2003.

Maybe some dumb uptight organization thought the "That's How I Roll" catchphrase meant that Christian was endorsing smoking pot?
Couple that idea with the word "Christian" underneath that phrase and maybe you've got a Conservative Right objection.
Not that I'D ever make that connection (or would want to, because I happen to think the shirt is funny), but this is a funny ol' world, ain't it?

It's not the worst shirt they've ever came up with (Carlito's takes that honor) but still I wouldn't wear that thing either.

I'm not a big fan of the John Cena "The Champ Is Here" shirt and then they have a depiction of the WWE title belt along the waist of the shirt. It looks ridiculous on Cena when he's already CARRYING the title with him. But the award for the worst shirt ever goes to Rikishi. I don't remember what it said on the front (maybe "Back Dat Ass Up" or something), but on the back, near the bottom, was a visual depiction of Rikishi's ass. Makes you vomit in your mouth a little. Also, Billy Gunn had a string of bad shirts. |

I almost bought that Rikishi shirt...thank goodness my mom took my wallet. It was for my own good.
Of course, I guess it's hard for me to knock WWE shirts, seeing as I have close to 100.

I would love that shirt because:
A) I know people who use that saying once in a while
B) My name is Christian
C) I've trying to get people to call me Captain Charisma
Now Just black ou the WWE logo and sit and I would get it right now.

How many Rikishi shirts were released? I remember seeing one about a year or so ago on Shopzone that said something really dumb like "get a piece of the kish" written on it. Needless to say it was marked down for next to nothing from it's initial $25.00 price.  |
