I've never found one with a design I'd want to wear, but if I did, I would have no problem wearing it.

I've seen men walk around in a bright purple Bayley t-shirt so yes.

Well, no, because WWE pulled it before it actually went on sale. I dunno, I saw some image results of actual shirts. Could be unofficial reprints or something, which would actually be a bit stranger as then there'd be effort put in. The shirt was only up for preorder. It was canceled when people started making Penis jokes about it so it wasn't ever officially sold. |

Fair enough; I was just going off of some Google Images results showing physical shirts. Not the first or last time I'll make a joke that didn't pan out.  |

I mean they probably printed some shirts because they were going to sell them... but any in the iwld are probably fan reprints. |

I'm pretty sure you can spot at least one neckbeard wearing the "I'm a Hugger" shirt at every Takeover.

It depends. If it was generic enough, sure. But if it was super effeminate looking, I don't think I would. So... on a scale, the opposite of “generic” is “effeminate?” |

The only one I might wear is Rhonda's Piper inspired one but I'm a fan of him not so much her. Then again the 0nly wrestling shirt I ever had was an nwo one.
If I saw a man wearing a female's shirt I would just assume they were a fan, that is if I even noticed.

If a guy is a fan of a fan of a female wrestler, I wouldn't care if they wore they wore that shirt. I wear male wrestlers shirts, pretty often, and haven't noticed people reacting. If they have, I haven't been bothered by it.

My friend has a Bayley shirt and I have Sasha's "Legit Boss" tee, as well as an Asuka shirt I'm wearing right now. it's cool.
I will admit, it might be odd to wear Nia's "I'M NOT LIKE MOST GIRLS" shirt as a dude.

I’ve seen guys that do. I personally don’t but I won’t wear a shirt with a guy’s face on it either. I like subtlety. I prefer wrestling shirts that are either logos or ones that don’t look like wrestling shirts at all.

I've got this one. The armpits are starting to yellow though, so I don't have too many wears left.   |

men must be ordering them or WWE and Prowrestlingtees wouldn't sell them Print to order tees are really easy to make. You have a large quantity of blanks shirts, then print after the order. It hurts nothing to have the option on the site. |

I've got three Asuka shirts (the original mask one, the badass gray one pictured above, and her main roster No One Is Ready shirt), AJ Lee's original Love Bites shirt, and Alexa's Five Feet Of Fury one.
For me it comes down to whether or not I like a given design, rather than whether the shirt is advertising a woman or man.

I admit, I would find this pretty Beta if I saw someone did that. I remember at some point there was a super-hero who decided to rename himself after his dead wife and it was so weird to me. But I've never been to a wrestling show in ages so I never see people with wrestling t-shirts period. That said I would not have a problem to see some dude with a Asuka with t-shirt. You're thinking of Hank Pym aka Ant-man. His wife Janet was the Wasp. Hank has also gone by Giant-man, Goliath and Yellowjacket. He altered his costume and made some weapons to replicate the sting she had and called himself the Wasp. That arc was actually fantastic, really redeemed his character in a lot of ways and is one of my favourites from that period. I thought it was ridiculous and a little too much on the nose. I think after years of many identities I prefer Hank to just be Hank like he was in West Coast Avengers. |

Being male sounds exhausting. I just wear whatever shirts appeal to me without worry of it diminishing my feminity in the eyes of others. This is an obstacle for female wrestlers I never really considered. WWE can only be expected to do so much to elevate them if the fanbase isn't willing to show support in monetary ways. Now you realised something, being male can be exausting.  You have to daily support and maintain that beast. |

With all the extra crap we put on ourselves it's a wonder we haven't all gone mad. |
