My November 2020 Shirt Haul

 By Mark Rodriguez

This month won't be as crazy as last month (or at least my wallet hopes so). I did order a few shirts here and there, as well as the ones that are coming from the usual subscription boxes. Let's check them out.

ProWrestlingTees order- November 7, 2020

AEW Dynamite One Year Anniversary

This is an awesome shirt that commemorates the one year anniversary of AEW's TV show on TNT. I like how the O features the 2 champs we had so far, Jericho and Moxley, the N has Riho, Nyla and Shida, the 3 female champs, and the R shows Cody and Brodie as the TNT champs. It reminds me where these guys and gals have been throughout that year. I really hope they make a second one for the two year anniversary.


Jericho and MJF- Le Diner Debonair

So we have a kinda/sorta feud where MJF wants to become part of Jericho's Inner Circle, and during this 'two heels are buddy buddy' angle, Jericho invited MJF to a steak dinner. What no one was expecting was for Jericho and MJF to actually break into a song and dance number ala something you'd see the Rat Pack do at a dinner show, complete with back-up dancers and everything. The bit was hilarious and warranted its own shirt, so I just had to get it. Opinions vary on whether the actual bit was funny or lame, but I loved it. I knew Jericho had the singing talent, but never knew MJF did too.


October Loot Crate - Venom shirt- November 8, 2020

So this time the box's theme was 'Shadows' so it featured things related to The Crow, Venom and the Black Widow. The shirt went to Venom and while it's a cool design I noticed a big flaw on where the character was placed. Like look at all of this empty black space, why is Venom resting on the lower left of the shirt? It looks like the image should have been more centered... and we have the proof.



It just so happens that I also bought this box for Johnny so that we can do a double-unboxing. Now I wear a size XL and my bro wears a size Small. If you notice not only is Venom more centered but he covers up a whole lot more of the shirt. 

I mean it's almost like they used the exact same size of the image regardless of the shirt size. Like guys, you're supposed to center and expand the image depending on the shirt size so in the end they all look pretty much the same. Like the image shouldn't be all over a size Small but hidden on the bottom left of the size XL. I wonder how bad it would look for anyone that ordered a size XXL or something, or was it only my shirt that came out wrong? What the hell happened here Lootcrate?

Fully Gimmicked- Hawlee Cromwell shirt- November 13, 2020

The Sorceress of the Dark Moon is one of my favorite indie wrestlers currently and this is her most recent shirt released on Fully Gimmicked. It's a pretty cool design and I chose to go for the Navy Blue one since I have enough black wrestling shirts. 


To get this shirt as well as other shirts related to Hawlee as well as other indie stars go to https://fullygimmicked.com/. Hawlee also has more shirts at Pro Wrestling Tees.

ProWrestlingTees shirt- November 18, 2020 Full Gear Shirt

Pretty cool shirt which is basically the poster for Full Gear. Full Gear weekend had a 20% off sale on all AEW shirts and such, so I went for it. Love the shirt, I did find it funny how originally Miro (Rusev) was on the cover, but he was removed cause I guess he wasn't a big enough deal as they have planned for.


The event was a lot of fun and I'm glad Hikaru Shida is still the AEW Women's Champion. Also glad that Darby Allin is the new TNT Champion as well. 

ProWrestlingCrate Nov. 25, 2020

Chris Jericho 'Bambino Shirt'

This time, Chuck, Johnny and I all got the ProWrestlingCrate and we got some goodies. The first shirt was related to Chris Jericho, though I'm not sure why it's called 'Bambino'. I love it and it really looks like something you'd find at ProWrestlingTees.



Gotta love Le Champeon. Funny thing is, the box was supposed to come with a Bully Ray item but it was pushed back to the next month and replaced by Jericho. Will next month come with a Bully Ray shirt?

"Figure Story" shirt

Here we got a Toy Story parody shirt based on a wrestling podcast featuring Matt Cardona, Brian Myers, Swoggle and Chelsea Green. I think this is the first time ProWrestlingCrate featured a shirt based on a podcast. 

Geek Fuel Box November 2020- Gremlins Shirt- Nov 30, 2020

This was a cool box, though I was a bit confused since it was holiday themed, even though it's the November box and not the December box (I think?) and it came with a cool Gremlins shirt.


Based on the classic movie that did in fact take place on Christmas, the shirt references the final act when the Gremlins took over a movie theater playing Snow White and one of them was wearing 3D glasses. 


My Opinions-

I got some pretty cool shirts this month, with Geek Fuel Box coming in on the very last day of the month. Not counting shirts that I purposely bought, I have to say my favorite shirts I got this time around are the Gremlins shirt and the Chris Jericho shirt from ProWrestlingCrate. The least favorite shirt was the LootCrate Venom shirt since, as previously mentioned, the image was too low and to the side on an XL while it was way better centered on a size Small. Maybe next time guys.

SNK VS Capcom Chaos Volume 1

By Mark Rodriguez We'll be seeing a few crossovers this month, and we're gonna start with one based on a crossover videogame. If you think the Malibu SF comic series was kinda sloppy, this one was literally all action, pin ups and splash pages, and what little story in it is just plain weird. I'm talking about the SNK VS Capcom Chaos comics made by Happy Comics, translated by Japan and produced with supervision from both SNK Playmore and Capcom. But first a brief explanation on the game this was inspired from. In 2000, Capcom produced Capcom VS SNK Millenium Fight 2000 which would throw the fighters of Capcom and SNK at each other. Unfortunately, aside from Morrigan from Darkstalkers and Nakoruru from Samurai Shodown, the game felt more like Street Fighter VS King of Fighters. Capcom later made Capcom VS SNK 2 Mark of the Millenium with even more characters and variety as well as different modes of play. SNK made their own game, SNK VS Capcom Chaos and it offered a bit more...

Arachna# 1 Review *Spoilers*

 By Mark Rodriguez Here's another awesome comic from independent artists that opened up an Indiegogo to get it started. I usually don't chip in unless it looks real good, like you just know they're gonna hit their goal. Arachna, a sexy superheroine with a split personality and an amazing art syle, sure looked like a good pick for me.  With lots of clever marketing in advance, even getting a person to dress as Arachna herself to bring the character to life, they hit their goal the same day they actually opened the Indiegogo for donations. I chipped in for the comic and the shirt, and here is my review on the latest superheroine that's bringing sexy back to comics, Arachna! Also note, while I'll try to keep my language as tame as I can, this book deals with way more adult stuff than I usually discuss on this blog. The Adventure Begins The issue opens with Jennie lying in bed naked in her apartment, a noticeable pile of sketches lying on the floor. She awakens to a voi...

Goshawk and Falconet # 1 (heavy spoilers so beware!)

 By Mark Rodriguez Brought to you by the same studios that brought you Arachna # 1 and 2, we get a brand new superhero duo, Goshawk and Falconet. Let's check it out. The story opens with Goshawk and Falconet soaring through the sky just above Santa Monica Bay. They fly towards a ship that is being robbed. Goshawk tells her to secure the cargo while he keeps the guards busy.  The robbers are working for a villain named Black Parrot. Goshawk lands between two of them and bashes their heads together. Just then a third man pulls a gun on him from behind. Goshawk retracts his wings which knocks the gun out of the man's hand. Goshawk knocks the guy out while Falconet kicks the guy protecting the cargo. Falconet uses one of her claws to pick the padlock and finds a room full of captured women. She assures them that they're alright now. On the lower decks, Black Parrot and a woman named Secretarybird think their mission is a success. With the harbormaster being bought and paid for ...
