Young Bucks on how they got the Hot Topic Deal (UPDATE: NJPW Shirts Incoming)

[MenacingMonk]

Bill Hanstock asked them how their merchandise deal with the chain store, Hot Topic, came to pass. Apparently, the owner and CEO of Hot Topic attended WrestleMania, and he saw Bullet Club, Kenny Omega, Cody Rhodes, and Young Bucks shirts throughout the crowd. He assumed WWE owned the properties and called them to negotiate a deal. WWE had to tell them they didn’t own those. Eventually, Hot Topic contacted Ryan at ProWrestlingTees.com and the deal was worked out. Hot Topic started selling the shirts in select stores, but the demand for the shirts was “mind blowing” according to the store, and they had to place a new order after five days, so they placed them in all Hot Topic stores. In fact, The Bucks just cut a deal with Hot Topic for a new, exclusive shirt that will go on sale soon.

Didn't even have to go to them.

This is from the recent podcast with XPac.

7/8 UPDATE: NJPW logo, LIJ, GOD and Hangman Page are entering the stores soon.

Hot Topic should try to get a deal where they can sell official New Japan merch.
