Kinda misses the point of the brand if nothing gruesome is depicted. These are more like "Here's the WWE Superstars in the Garbage Pail style" as opposed to doing anything totally macabre or disgusting. The original GPK cards weren't all just about gruesome and disgusting things. Plenty of them were just wacky type stuff. One was just the Sphinx, one was just dressed up like Ronald Reagan, etc. And at least two of the above images contain dismembered limbs and severely beaten opponents twisted into pretzels. I'd say they're on the right track.

Interesting that they're literally using the "Garbage Pail Kids" brand name. Inside tag says "WWE x Garbage Pail Kids" which I take it denotes the official crossover. A very safe crossover, mind you, as these are devoid of that "charming"(?) gruesome element GPK is most known for..

I guess I'm out of touch as f*** as I have no idea what a garbage pail kid either that or it's not a thing over here.
These shirts are ugly as hell BTW.

I’ve never been a fan of Garbagee Pail Kids. They did hit what they were going for though, so fans would be pleased (I assume?)

Where are my WWE Star Wars shirts? I'd mark out for some zany shit like Demon Finn fighting Darth Maul, Braun and Chewie = Super Best Friends or Tommy Dreamer the Hutt. The Dreamer The Hutt one could have Beulah as Slave Leia on a chain.

The garbage pail? Is that where they find the scripts for the shows?

Has anyone ever tried saying "No" to anyone in WWE? They should really start. Daniel Bryan had a whole run based on saying "No". But yeah, these are ass.

It's good to stay on Topps's good side, because they also make Star Wars cards, and are the official card company of MLB. You don't want to piss them off. Not trying to be facetious or anything, but I don't get it. What's a worst case scenario if they were pissed off?

I like the Miz one. Would never buy any of them, though.

I thought Topps was sued and had to redesign them so that the GPK characters didnt resemble the Cabbage Patch Kids, because these look more like the CPK knockoff designs from the first couple of years.

I used to sell old toys on eBay and tell you what, vintage GPK dolls are still money. So I guess if you’re a GPK fan and a WWE fan this shirt is for you. Not sure how large that particular demographic is, mind you.

They're definitely garbage.
Seriously who is wearing one of these out around their town?
I was watching Fastlane with my brothers and I went on a big rant about the state of merchandise in wrestling. Why are 90% of the shirts complete shit?
Either its corny shit like this, awful slogans and catchphrases on the back or indy guys blatantly ripping off WWE or Marvel designs. Seriously how hard is it to make something wearable?

I apologise because I think this may have got to page 2 before I found it, but these shirts are an abomination and I demand other people's days get ruined like mine did

Is it just me or does the Rollins one look more like Conrad Thompson?
