I am just excited for Mark Briscoe vs Woods. I am glad Mark is getting more matches.

Great responses everyone. Valid points by all. I wonder if regional preferences play a part for some? ex: Here in Texas it is hot, so we wear few jackets and 2 sided kind of tells our likes to all sides, but a colder climate might have less use for a back print because of a jacket?

I have bought so many used things over the years, that small damage doesn't bother me badly, though I prefer as pristine as possible. Too, when most things break, I try to repair before replacing.

Was great to see Mark Briscoe again, and a him and Woods match would be super cool.

I'm on the verge of designing my own t-shirts, but I will say. I love both front and back designs. I just think that a lot of today's t-shirts look too identical in terms of composition. My brother-in-law does this for a living. It may look easy, but when you do a lot of colors it gets time consuming. I know screen print vs digital print is a thing, and both are super hard, but I will say, when I was looking to get shirts made, the more colors on one shirt you are willing/able to make puts people in a unique spot in the industry. So many vendors don't do full color, like photo realistic, but it is definitiely wanted by some creators, and super rare to find.

If you like peach you should try Big Peach and Faygo Peach. Definitely will! I'm on the northern east coast, is it available around these parts? I've seen Faygo in some smoke shops from time to time. Faygo should be easy to find, as it is made in Detroit and I could find it here in Texas. Big Peach is a Texas thing, but it is Big Red/Dr Pepper product, so I would expect it to be there, and Big Blue too. I hope you find them and enjoy. VPV

So I tried the Izze peach flavor. Carbonation is soft, not really sweet. It's not unflavored, but the peach flavor is very mellow. I recommend it if you're a peach fan. I wish it had more flavor, but I like Izze's drink. I like the clementine flavor in particular. If you like peach you should try Big Peach and Faygo Peach.

I like 2 sided concert shirts better. As long as the band is receiving profits from it. As for WWE shirts, the last one I bought was over 20 years ago. The Cactus Jack wanted poster logo. But what pissed me off was the huge WWF logo on the back of the shirt by the neck. I wore it a few times & then stuffed it in the dresser drawer of no return. With my concert shirts I definitely want a logo on front and tour dates on back. The webstore ones seem to mostly be the 1 siders for some reason. They just don't seem as good to me. And oddly, I always wanted the WWF logo on the back, preferably small under a back words graphic, but I was cool either way. Was the size of the logo the issue? I did see most are small logos on the neck area now.

Hey guys, I have seen a litany of one side print shirts lately, not just wrestling, but band merch and generic print t's as well. Does this bother any one else? Also, what happened to fan designed shirt competitions like back in the day?
I love my 2 sided shirts, as they feel more complete, and creative, as well as make the price point feel ok. Seems to me that so many are running front side prints only and I am paying the same (I know they make a bit more, albeit not much more, money for this), but the asthetic and ability to connect with passerbys seem lost.
For example, I will say WWE doesn't skimp as much on 2 sided designs, which is cool, but I know people will say, much like AEW, sometimes the designs are too basic or not creative, which is a problem in itself. On PWT, tons seem to be front print only, even say the old WWF Headbangers shirt, which used to be 2 sided.
Not to forget this part, I really liked when they gave people a shot to be creative and get to the masses with their art. Quality and quantity.
I hope I am not the lone old man yelling at the clouds, as another wfig user said the other day, and this is at least an interesting convo for yall..
Much respect to you all.

I watched the majority of that stream the school put on, and it was a beautiful service. Yall need to hear Mark talk and tell stories in his eulogy if you get a chance. And we find out just where "Reach for the Sky" came from. RIP Jay. VPV

ROH World Tag Team Champion Jay Briscoe has passed away at the age of 38. AEW President & ROH Owner Tony Khan took to Twitter tonight to announce Briscoe’s passing. “Sadly, Jamin Pugh has passed away. Known to fans as Jay Briscoe, he was a star in ROH for over 20 years, from the first show until today. Jay and his brother Mark dominated ROH, reigning as champions to this day. We’ll do whatever we can to support his family. Rest In Peace Jamin,” Khan wrote. There is no word yet on Briscoe’s cause of death, but we will keep you updated. Briscoe was to turn 39 on January 25. Jay began wrestling back in 2000. He is a former two-time ROH World Champion, one-time ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champion, and a thirteen-time ROH World Tag Team Champion. Jay and brother Mark Briscoe were inducted into the inaugural class of the ROH Hall of Fame last year. They just captured the ROH World Tag Team Titles from FTR at ROH Final Battle on December 10. This is just awful. Car accident is being reported. RIP to Jay. He and his brother are forever "Dem Boyz".

Lost in the shuffle of all this craziness the last few days. Dax announced on his podcast that FTR are off tv for awhile, potentially the rest of their contracts that run to April. He said they are gonna heal and get their minds right for what he said will be their last contract in wrestling. He is 38, he wants to wrestle for five more years, make as much money as possible and tell the last part of their story and ride off into the sunset. The money term leads me to believe WWE for one last run. Sad to see them go, but man they rocked the house. My favorite AEW debut was them in the truck.

Sadly, Chikara is gone. You can catch the majority of the tomfoolery on AEW Wednesday and Friday nights, though. 😊👍 We do get Chuckie T, Eddie, Orange (fire ant), Claudio, Danielson (he popped by from time to time), Brodie Lee (R.I.P), and someone else I know I am forgetting. I would love to see folks like Akuma and Icarrus, or my fav, Los Ice Creams, again, but even a crew like the Ants would be too comic booky for AEW.

What really led to Chikara going under? I’ve seen most say it’s on Quack’s shoulders but was it money or something else? I watched some of Sweeney and the Ants from early mid 200’s but never followed too close. The speaking out movement from a couple years ago lead to it, essentially. Allegations came out about various wrestlers and Quack, mass resignations of wrestlers and trainers, then Quack closed up shop. He did say maybe one day they would return if they could be safer and better, but I have seen nothing mentioned since 2020?. AIW has some current folks like Donst, but Chikara was special, and the Wrestle Factory taught some of our modern day greats.

Hey guys, does anyone think Chikara should do shows again, even if under the "Wrestling Is" banner?
They were family friendly, fun, engaging shows with amazing characters and talent. Being a fan during the Ashes season of Chikara was a completely unique experience that I remember fondly getting to be a sleuth in.
I am not saying the wrestlers of old would embrace it again, with all that went down, but despite Quacks flaws, there was something magic with that company, in my opinion.
