OK, this is a textbook example of why WWE's shirts typically suck and don't sell that well. If they had made a shirt that had, say, a cool drawing of Khali and it just said "The Great Khali" I might buy that. I'm not gonna buy a shirt that says "Punjabi Players Club" and neither will most people. Why? Because it requires too much explaining to non-wrestling fans. If they see the shirt that I suggested, people might ask "who's Great Khali"? All you have to say is "giant Indian wrestler" or something like that. Simple. Now compare that to being asked "what's Punjabi Players Club"? Which question would you rather try to answer to a non-wrestling fan? Hell, I am a fan and I don't even really know what that means. I know it has something to do with that Khali kiss cam segment (I'm almost surprised the shirt doesn't say "Khali kiss cam") I think they should lay off their entire staff of whoever designs the T-shirts and hire all new people. It's so not hard to come up with a halfway decent T-shirt that's simple and won't embarass the person who wears it. I'd rather buy a shirt with a logo/catchphrase on than a shirt with a drawing of a giant Indian wrestler's face on it.

The second one is pretty cool. Though this shirt (created by a crapper) is the best Khali shirt I have ever seen. That shirt is 14 kinds of win. also I like the first one

I'd wear any of the three, but I sided with #1.
I think his new entrance music is pretty fun, also.

I voted for the second shirt. I like shirts with cool graphics and catchprhases on them. The 1st and 3rd one were kinda stupid to me. Also in response to The New Frontal Nudist there is no thought behind the shirt you proposed thats why it wouldn't sell. Anybody can slap a picture on a shirt with a name on it. And I find those to be the most boring shirts WWE makes. It's like the Ted Dibiase shirt it's just him on front with his name I wouldnt buy that shirt but I would buy say Edges shirt with the star and 2 women on it because it looks awesome.

I like number 2. I like shirts that only hint at what their about. If you didn't watch wrestling, no one would know that has anything to do with wrestling. Those in the know will think it's cool and those that aren't, still might.

I prefer the one with Khali's face or the Tiger with the Rose, all are more awesome then the slew of Wal-mart-esque shirts and Jeff Hardy's weird shirt.

I wouldn't buy any of them, but I guess the second one is my favorite of the three

the third, entirely because of the giant head on the front. if that gets released, i am getting it. actually, forget that, i'm gonna get the great khali's head tattooed over my own head instead.
