Like his boots that is a custom job I thought you could only customize a funko, I didn’t know you could also customize the box. Man just how much is Brimstone losing on this?

I wonder if he's ever tried to get his own cereal. It could have little marshmallow pieces shaped like his custom boots!

Not had to make a box, but honestly he's probably not losing much. No way that's a recurring product he sells, he probably just sent off for a commission from someone who does customs for money so he could have the one that he flaunts.

So he just wants to flaunt them? Not to sell it. Man that’s being a mark for yourself, this is making Matt Hardy blush.

Almost nobody doing custom commissions is going to let someone go and resell their work. And the crux here is that sometimes people will make customs of like, Youtubers they're fans of and even send them in to the people, and it's this neat, fun, nice thing that the Youtuber shows off on their twitter or in a "people sent me stuff" video. Brimstone doesn't have fans doing all that so he's got to pay someone to make one for him himself.

Brimstone sends himself care packages with his own merch because he’s his biggest and only fan.

Getting a package of his favorite thing, Brimstone, from his favorite person, Brimstone.

I don't think he checks his account here anymore, someone go patreon him or some such. Or save him from a speeding bus (please don't drive a speeding bus towards Brian Zane) so Brian owes you a life debt. I want this to happen.

Hahaha Brimstone would pulled the video down citing copyright infringement. Nah it’ll be the best day of his life, someone is paying attention to him.

It’d be interesting to see just how many of the companies listed have any knowledge of Brimstone as an employee/associate.
FAN: ‘Oh hello, is that Eastport Backpacks? I’d like to speak to Brimstone, please.’ Receptionist: ‘I’m sorry, who?’

After all, being a dick and having a video taken down just gets even more attention to him.

If Brimstone was still active, would FAN consider sponsoring him? Brimstone was meant to be FAN’s mascot.

Honestly, the best thing we can do about this guy is pay him no mind. It's like the Paul Anka "monsters" song Simspon episode where you "just don't look" to make the monsters go away.
As someone who has been to a lot of autograph shows and independent shows and seen the good and the bad, this kind of guy is one of the WORST things about independent wrestling and the convention scene where he puts a con on the fans (especially non-fan older adults who are taking their kids to the shows) and this guy is selling his merchandise for a premium price telling the fans how big of a deal is. Of course, the young child doesn't know the real stars (former WWF guys) from the con artists so he gets his family to buy him the 8x10 photos, the shirts, the backpacks, the energy drinks or whatever he's selling and not only does it have no future resale value but it has no personal value because, as the fan grows up, he realizes this guy is just a confidence man who took he and his family's money with the goal to con the family, whether out of money or to gain adulation for his false celebrity status.

He’s not one of the worst things, he’s the worst thing ever. He is just a step above Bruce Pobanz in delusion.

I guess the good thing is that he actually has wrestled a few times and isn't one of those. "I totally wrestled in the territory days but it was local and the news was harder to come by" types
