How are you going to have an Attitude Era shirt without Mick Foley?

What are you talkin about he reached his peak? Wrestling matches...main event status? shyt that has nothing to do with selling apparel? You say he has no business being on the shirt...I'd say its strictly business that he's on the shirt. DX 2.0 was just as big as anything not named Austin or Rock in the attitude era. DX helped define Attitude before and after Michaels left. And theres no question DX was moving a shyt load of merch. HHH was the face of DX. Yeah Mick should be on there but HHH earned it as well. And by earned I mean...the WWF attached his name/his groups name to clothing that sold like hot cakes during a time period where he was super over. Sometimes I think you nikkas be drinking the smark propoganda kool-aid a bit too much. Like the WWE put him on there to feed his ego or boost his legacy. They're trying to make money. Honestly who gives a fukk about that shytty t-shirt. Nobody here is likely to buy that shyt with or without Foley.

This was the one tho

He didn't develop his Game persona until late in the Attitude Era. He didn't win his first World Title until late in the Attitude Era. He wasn't an established main eventer until late in the Attitude Era. Out of all the people who could have been replaced on that shirt, Triple H is the easy choice. Or they could have just added Foley to begin with and made it 6 people. They couldn't fit all of DX on the shirt.

:mjlol: No way that you really believe that. The Mankind/Cactus Jack/Dude Love years were great. Even though Dude Love was corny, he still was in the main event.

Why not throw Ken Shamrock and Al Snow on the shirt too? :skip:

So what your saying is that he was a main eventer...won the World Title (a few times actually)...developed a great polarizing character (not to mention led arguably the most over and popular faction ever in the WWF...helped define the attitude era...helped kick off the monday night wars and sold a shyt load of shirts not unlike the one they're putting him on today) all during the Attitude Era...yet he "has no business being on" a shirt that says Attitude on it...that's a good point you're making breh. Solid argument there.

DX in 98 wasn't what Foley was by the end..fans got EXTREMELY sick of DX by 99 and turned on them BIG TIME for Rocky and Austin..in multiple situations. X- Pac suffered the most and Billy Gunn lost ALL OF HIS reaction after the Rock feud. Cripple H was floating for a long time until Foley put him over 3 str8 months in 2000.

You know Vince, it's all about looks. And Mick looked like everything Vince hates (fat, ugly, not muscular, dirty). He probably wouldn't want Mick's masked face on the shirt.

Truthfully, I wouldn't take anyone out and would've just added Mick somewhere.

Same, the shirt is ugly af anyways (as are most wrestling shirts)...wouldn't hurt to add Mick's face to it
