WWE Austin 3:16 T-shirt: was US$27.90 now US$16.74 at Hot Topic

STONE COLD! STONE COLD! STONE COLD! That's what you'll presumably be doing while smashing beers over your head after buying this, surely the most iconic wrestling shirt and slogan of all time? Don't go around stunnering people though. That'll get you put in jail for realsies.

WWE The Rock T-shirt: was US$27.90 now US$19.53 at Hot Topic

Pay homage to The Great One with this classic design featuring his old school Brahma Bull logo. Ah, remember when The Rock was a full-time wrestler and we didn't have to think about stuff like that Black Adam film? Glory days indeed.

WWE Macho Man T-shirt: was US$27.90 now US$16.74 at Hot Topic

OOOOOOOOH YEAAAAAAAAAH! If the Attitude Era was too chaotic and edgy for your tastes, throw it back a little further with this proper vintage design featuring the one and only Randy Savage. I still can't forgive him for breaking up the Mega Powers though.

WWE Wrestlemania 2000 T-shirt: was US$28.90 now US$17.34 at Hot Topic

Hey! Remember Wrestlemania 2000? That one actually kinda sucked! Still, you can always pick this super nu metal era-looking shirt up and pretend that you're actually celebrating the classic N64 game of the same name. Much more respectable.

WWE DX T-shirt: was US$28.90 now US$17.34 at Hot Topic

True story: I once got kicked off a water slide when I was 12 years old for doing the DX crotch chop at the top. For that reason and that reason alone, I can't bring myself to buy this. But don't let my 25 year bitterness stop you! Go wild!

WWE CM Punk T-shirt: was US$36.90 now US$22.14 at Hot Topic

The original Summer Of Punk might have been a bust, but with Chicago's finest finally back in the WWE, what better time to pay tribute to his most iconic shirt? At 40% off, this might not quite be the Best (deal) In The World, but it's pretty close.

WWE nWo hoodie: was US$46.90 now US$32.83 at Hot Topic

If you're nWo for life but think Hogan is damaged goods because of...well...everything, leave Hollywood behind and embrace the Wolfpac with this superbly cool nWo red and black hoodie. At almost a third off the original price, this deal is almost...wait for it...too sweet!

WWE Eddie Guerrero T-shirt: was US$16.74 now US$27.90 at Hot Topic

One of the all-time greats and gone far too soon, the fact that Eddie Guerrero is still referenced in storylines and merch today featuring everyone from his old pal Rey Mysterio to Rhea Ripley speaks volumes of his legacy. You just can't beat the original, though.

WWE Raw Is War T-shirt: was US$27.90 now US$16.74 at Hot Topic

If this design doesn't spark immediate images of bursts of fire, a nu metal song no one knew the proper words to and clips of people being slammed through tables, you just weren't theeereee, maaaan! Let's not talk about the occasional racist segments and rampant misogyny though. That can stay in 1998.

WWE Lita T-Shirt: was US$27.90 now US$16.74 at Hot Topic

A true badass and trailblazer of her era, Lita still looks and wrestles like a million bucks whenever she makes a brief return to the business. Honour her original run with this classic design. Don't be doing any moonsaults, mind. Those 'Don't try this at home' videos were legit.

Not a wrestling fan? How the hell did you get all the way down to this, then?!
