As an aside, I had a Stone Cold shirt that talked when you pressed the skulls on it. I got into trouble for wearing it at high school because, besides the middle fingers, one of it's phrases was "Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your ass".
Of course I abused the hell out of it. I was a horrible teen.

I don't get how you can say cm-punk but leave out john cena... Not a slight against Cena but name one of his shirts that belong in the convo.

The nWo and Austin are a tie to me. They were EVERYWHERE in the 90's and instantly recognizable.

What I find most interesting is that the Rock really doesn't have a memorable shirt or shirts associated with him. Maybe one with the bull face on it?

I was always a WWE fan, but I think the NWO shirt takes it just due to the numerous parodies it's had.

When I picture a Rock shirt I think of one of those "$500" silk button ups he used to wear. I think the lack of a truly iconic Rock t-shirt has a lot to do with this character. Guys like Austin, Cena, Foley, Hogan (and the nWo in general) almost always wore some sort of t-shirt that they could sell, while Rock very rarely did.

I saw the CM Punk shirt a lot in public (for a wrestling shirt), but I'm also in Chicago.

Not a slight against Cena but name one of his shirts that belong in the convo. For me, the definition of an iconic shirt is one that when you say the name of the guy or group it's associated with the vast majority of people will think of that shirt. When someone mentions Austin, the 3:16 shirt is clearly the shirt people remember most. Piper? The red and white Hot Rod shirt. Hogan? Either the red and yellow Hulk Rules or just plain Hulkamania shirt. Punk had a lot of great shirts, but the white Best in the World shirt is by far his most-recognised. Cena, to me, doesn't have an iconic shirt because his shirts change so often to the point where people just don't pay that much attention to them.

Cena doesn't have one iconic shirt, but his look is iconic in of itself. Choose a bright color. Say.. red. Then, red hat, red t shirt with Cena logos on it, red arm band, red wristbands, jean shorts with random red towel in them, sneakers.

s/o to "I BROKE WAHOO'S LEG" which i forgot because it didn't get hyped over and over throughout history and it happened like 10 years before i was born
but still, awesome shirt, and kind of trendset the concept of simple white on black being the most effective t-shirt design

Bizarrely the Punk BITW shirt was/is hugely popular in UK. I've seen the shirt a LOT at festivals and the like
However I voted for nWo with 3:16 very close behind. Both were iconic, to the point I saw the nWo shirts being sold in supermarkets in the UK back in the day.
Could 97 era Hart Foundation be included? I believe the t-shirts were HUGE in Canada with the ring jacket heart/skull logo on them. Admittedly not as big as the other shirts (by a long way) but a cool shirt all the same

Was gonna be smarky and do the Bullet Club shirt but I knew I was pushing it already with including Punk. You say that but it's currently sold out everywhere in the UK.

Austin 3:16 and the NWO are the ones I've seen the most in my life. The original DX shirt has to be up there too. I had all 3 during the attitude era
