Pro Wrestling Tees Is Selling Your Favorite Wrestling Merchandise

Every sport, celebrity, and show in the world has its set of fans who will channel their love by attending events, following current statuses, and most of all, by purchasing merchandise! Ryan Barkan, a man with an entrepreneurial mind, realized this quite early in his career. Being an opportunist he was, Ryan played this fan-hood to his benefit, establishing a million-dollar venture wrestling fans know as Pro Wrestling Tees.

Ryan, the founder of Pro Wrestling Tees, began his career in website and graphic designing. In 2006, he started a company by the name of ‘Creative Ventures Inc’. based in Chicago, the birthplace of Ryan. The company offered people digitally printed customized tees of their choice. Two years later, Ryan changed the name of the company to ‘One Hour Tees’. Although the company was doing fairly good, its luck truly overturned in 2010 when Ryan received an email from none other than the WWE superstar Scott Colton aka Colt Cabana.

Colt Cabana wanted to place an order for a customized shirt for CM Punk. The gig was small but the impact it had on Ryan's business was astonishing. Soon afterward, Colt contacted Ryan yet again, this time for creating some tees for the promotion of his upcoming podcast. This was the main turnaround point for Ryan’s venture.

The Million-Dollar Venture

Getting a featured job for Colt Cabana's podcast gave ‘One Hour Tees’ quite a hype. It gave Ryan’s venture a lot of hype among the wrestling fans, and that flooded Ryan’s business with orders of customized digitally printed tees of different wrestlers. Ryan, in 2013, created a new company ‘Pro Wrestling Tees’.

Pro Wrestling Tees was an e-commerce website formed with the combined efforts of Ryan and Colt Cabana. Soon afterward, the company became an official platform for some of the biggest wrestlers to sell their merchandise. Among the most prominent names that got associated with ‘Pro Wrestling Tees' were Stone Cold Steve Austin, Shawn Michael, Chris Jerico, CM Punk, Hulk Hogan, Andre The Giant, Eddie Guerrero, Cody Rhodes, and many more. Pro Wrestling Tees sells customized tees for over 1200 different wrestlers which in itself is a massive feat to achieve.

Thriving to Date

The company allows all these wrestlers to form their own store online on prowrestlingtees.com. This has allowed their fans to get their hands on each and every shirt that they lay their eyes on, on television. In essence, this e-commerce website is not only a one-stop-shop for the fans but also a marketing-haven for the wrestlers. Pro Wrestling Tees offers over 12,000 different designs for the fans of wrestling to choose from. This is accompanied by the staggering 60,000 product options that customers have on this website.

‘Pro Wrestling Tees' inaugurated its first-ever retail store in 2017. They also partnered with ‘New Japan Wrestling’ and ‘Hot Topic’ over the recent years.
