I'm imagining AJ with his t-shirt maker "yeah, and put a bag of money on there, a little one, right next to it? AW, shit yeah! That's my new shirt!"

The Owen Hart comparison falls down unless after Austin, Hart kept breaking other wrestlers' necks that we just somehow never heard about.

Kinda pointless to bring up Owen and Austin, since Owen's, ya know, dead. Now if Zombie Owen was putting out an Owen 3:16 shirt NOW, I'd have a few questions. I don't think the shirt would make the top five though. Plus considering how Austin still is kinda pissed at Owen for not apologizing for breaking his neck, I don't think it works as a defense. I hope AJ's sake that this doesn't upset New Japan because they like Kojima and Yoshi. His gaijin butt is going to get replaced by Kenny Omega is it does. NJPW fully endorses the Styles Clash. AJ wants to use Calf Killer, but Gado & Jedo want him to use the clash. Most of the buildup of Styles/Naito is being centered around Styles Clash being a dangerous finisher. I don't think NJ have problem with him since he has used Clash on Honma (one of their over guys) few times after the last botched clash on Kojima. One of Japan's press awarded him the best foreigner of the year award and 2 of his matches were in the running for MOTY. His match with Naito at WK9 is being promoted as one of the main events. Bullet Club is probably best merchandise cash cow for NJPW for some time now. It's certainly selling a LOT more than Prince Devitt days. I'm not solely putting it on AJ's shoulders, but he has definitely moved merchandise and (some) awareness of Bullet Club/NJPW in NA. His title run & superb g1 run helped. I'm all for Omega's push, but i don't think anywhere near being a draw/in-ring talent as Styles in 2014. About Altar boy Luke, he was in the observer on wednesday. You can clearly hear the man is bitter because Styles didn't show up in one of his shows in UK. I'm not sure why he's suddenly being upset with him if he knows him from NWA-Wildside days.

He's a heel taking advantage of an admittedly awful circumstance. There are worse things he could have done. The design of the shirt is just awful, though.

You can clearly hear the man is bitter because Styles didn't show up in one of his shows in UK. I'm not sure why he's suddenly being upset with him if he knows him from NWA-Wildside days. Luke been anti-AJ for years. It's just that when he talking about it, it was during the period where Styles was an IWC golden boy and no one wanted to listen to a "no name" indy guy airing grievances. I'm sure he is bitter about AJ but a lot of wrestlers are bitter about their fellow peers. I'm quite sure there are plenty of wrestlers who love to be in the spot Cesaro got right now. Bullet Club is a cash cow for NJPW. It also helps that Styles won the big title while Devitt was stuck at the cruiserweight level. Japan loves nationalism just as much any other country. The box office grows when ever the big bad gaijin hold the main title and it's a race towards who restores honor back to the company. New Japan already basically made it known that Omega is a junior heavyweight which stifles his chance to move up the card. New Japan may like AJ but the moment he seriously injures a fellow cash cow like Okada, Tanahashi, or Nakamura; all of that is out of the window.

Shirt is horrible looking.
With that said, people get way too offended by minor things these days.
Considering this is pro wrestling I really don't see the problem, it is just the old trick of a heel using a real life situation to get heat.

yeah that is pretty tasteless. I mean, it's a fine catchphrase to get heat, but I wouldn't want to wear a shirt glorifying crippling someone. I broke Wahoo's leg?
