Colt: "I had a friend at the time-"
Me: "Yikes!"
Yeah... Big yikes
So it's true... 😔 Wow.
He was nice Atleast, he could of said something negative but he wasn't. Props to him .

Proud member of the Pro Wrestling Tees crew, and I’m super grateful for the love and support this community contributes to our success.

One of my favourite things about this documentary is that you show us HOW PWT supports wrestlers, artists, + families. Your success is beyond well-deserved. It's great that I can get my favourite wrestlers' shirts shipped to the UK which aren't mass-produced with crappy printing on a cheap t-shirt. The care, design, passionate hard work and quality that goes into your store's products is outstanding!
I put in my biggest PWT order yet at $125 on Black Friday and I'm damn happy to have given them my money and my support. Congratulations to everyone involved! 👏
So Much Love for PWT. Help me kickstart my Illustration & Design career 5 yrs ago. Now doing some illustration & design work for WWE x Chalkline. Much gratitude & congratulation to Ryan and the wonderful team in chicago - MigsMedia1 Wrestling Designs
I absolutely love this company!
Congratulations on all of your success! You were the one place I bought from on Black Friday and I'm glad I did.
I love this company so much. I've bought many shirts from them. Sadly I lost everything I own last year and lost all my shirts I got. But I will rebuild and keep buying shirts from them forever
Love a good success story. Matt Knicks has sold shirts!!
PWT is my home away from home when it comes to wrestling merchandise, meet and greets and in my own hometown of Chicago! It don't get any better than that. Thank you for existing guys.
This is a very great watch. Thank you Pro Wrestling Tees
I will buy a Matt Knicks shirt right now.
Did you do it?
Awesome. I just watched the Flip/CVV interview where he talked about dunking Frank the Clown, now I got to see it. Full Circle.... great day !!
28:38 I made the cut! Reppin Cody and Joey!
So nice to see an American company doing well.
Great informative well produced documentary. I just ordered the AEW Varsity Hoodie with the Black Friday promotion. Happy to support an independently owned business. Congrats on all the success PWT's!
It doesn’t get any better than this store. From the website or walking in to the store in person, it’s more than a company, it’s a family that’s passionate and cares about the ones they’re helping. Thank you PWT’s
This is the story of a man who grabbed life by the balls and hasn’t sacrificed himself in an effort to make something work. Very rare in business! Ryan isn’t about making money just for himself, he’s giving people the same thing he or anyone else wants or should have/want a good life, a decent life, a fucking chance...
Love PWT!!! I’m thinking about getting another shirt. To all the crew of PWT... thank you so much for being in our lives.
Very cool documentary! Awesome to see how the whole process works. Thanks to everyone involved behind the scenes!! I HAVE to come to PWT every time I'm in Chicago. I'm always in the heart of downtown Chicago whenever I visit, but make it a point to hustle to the retail store before my trip is over. This also explains why every time I've gone, I always see Castro. I thought, "Damn, he's always here?" Haha, now I know why!
To Ryan and everyone involved with Pro Wrestling Tees, congratulations on your success and here's to many more years of it!

Jonathan must have the most organized drawers with those folding skills
Crazy to think how much has changed in the wrestling industry
Pro Wrestling Tees is such an integral part of that change in the pro wrestling business!
I'm a big wrestling fan and big HOW IT'S MADE fan so this was right up my alley. 😂😂👍👍👍
I absolutely needed this so happy for Ryan his Tee family and the wrestlers who have a place to make great quality merch
I am from Chile. I bought many many t shirts and wrestling crates from you since I knew that I had the chance de to have original merch from my favorites wrestlers. I have amazing things, and I love to use them everyday. Thank you!
Hola Chile!
Best wrestling tees out there
I love this documentary of the journey of this awesome t-shirt store in terms of how big has become over the years, a company that's run and operate by sincere wrestling fans that support the indie wrestlers and the legends by making awesome shirts :)
I remember buying my first shirt from PWT back in Christmas 2015 that is the iconic Bullet Club Bone Soldier shirt and I loved it ever since and people asked me "where you get that awesome shirt?", I told them Pro Wrestling Tees.
I love this shop and I can't wait to buy more from here when I get the chance :)
Proud wrestling fan. Proud Chicagoan! This doc got me hype.
I really wanna visit the PWT store!! This documentary is very inspiring!! #ThanksRyanBarkan
Pro-Wrestling has always brought such joy to my life. The moments I've spent with people I love at live shows are moments I'll forever treasure and never forget. Same with the wonderful people I've met. There's something special about the passion we share and the joy it brings us, but more joy is found when we are blessed to share it with each other together. Thank you God for always putting the right people in the right place at the right time to make all the success and all the great moments possible!
I’m from aus and visited when I’m Chicago and got nothing to say but congrats and thank you
Ryan has always been great and responds very fast whenever I had a question or issue.
Love PWT Thanks for being a great Company! Awesome documentary!
Love the video! Just goes to show that with a good idea, some hard work & a lucky break or two that doing what you love can be a great business too. Now, where is the "Little bit of the 40" shirt? Not like PWT to miss out on a meme worthy line like that...
As an indie wrestler, this documentary has me and my tag partner seriously considering utilizing you guys.
Xtreme TV do it
13:59 MJF out of his gimmick, first time ever!
Being a dork as well
Fuck I was looking for this comment !
He's salt of the earth.
Buy BTE story shirt! I got so excited when one of my drawings got on a T-shirt at Pro Wrestling Tees (also super excited it was for my favorite wrestlers - The Young Bucks) I had messed up with the file I had sent to Matt, I didn't realize mail turns .png into .jpeg (NOOB), but the kind people at pwt was willing to fix it- so now it has clouds! Now I just hope Mrs. Matt isn't upset with me. Anyway: THANK YOU!!!!
Also: watch BTE story! -and BTE outro's - every now and then I add a little something to it ;)
M Lyng will you be doing the Being the Inner Circle animation ;) love the work you do though!
@@hestonblumenthal4263 no sorry no BTIC animation :P But thank you very much.
I already own it ;)
@@thetwocount9877 yay!
34:47 Lmao they showed a picture of Hogan when the song said the n word
Awesome behind the scenes look of a company that is a pillar within the wrestling community! Makes me love buying from Pro Wrestling Tee's even more! Great work putting this together!!!
I have bought shirts from them and a mystery grab of DVDs, just ordered the mystery crate to begin in Oct for 1 year
Can't wait
Soon to be golden globe nominated!!!!
i just begin printing business, a small one because dont have a lot of money , and this is such an inspiring video, i just hope you can be my mentor :D
I just bought my 3rd black Friday shirts and all thanks to the main event of #njpwWK11 being a fan from #theELITE in #BTE to #AEW now. I save shirts all year long to my cart just to buy it on November and it will continue being a tradition, Thx Ryan, hope I can find that Chicago aew hat when I first visit 👕👊🏼🛍️ #ImWithAEW
I will be in Chicago next February for C2E2, I will make an effort to get to Pro Wrestling Tees so I can see their retail store. I own about...5 or 6 of their shirts I think. I'll be growing my collection alongside AEW.
Love this! Everything they do is a win-win for the fans and the wrestlers. Thanks for making this!
Love this vid, all the love from Canada!!
AWESOME DOCUMENTARY.
That was really interesting. Thank you for what you do!
That was a great documentary, thanks! It was awesome to see the wide range of interviews and cameos.
I love that fact i live 25 minutes away from the store on damen. Chicago's finest "Pro Wrestling Tee's."
The only company I buy pro wrestling merch from, the shirts and crates are the best.
Nice 👍🏾 documentary.
Keeping wrestling alive!!!
Loved it
rare footage of MJF being nice to others.
Love this!!! Man I wish i could get my shirts printed through you guys. My supplier messes up all the time. Not a 2 sweet.
Was cool to watch & see behind the scenes
great company and great quality shirts
you have a lifetime fan from canada and i thank you for your service and contributions...
Can you guys open up a store in NYC??!!
I have several PWT shirts from Hot Topic and all of them are top quality!
Happy Hot Topic got the AEW/PWT deal. Bought my first AEW shirt a few weeks ago at HT (Adam Page).
Shady Right On!
13:27 pretty sure Marty and who I'm guessing is flip are in a room full of nothing but aew talent lol. Freaking awesome.
Aew confirmed
Every time he's on camera anywhere Luchasaurus makes sure to take his top off first.
The JR outtake in the credits made my whole day, eat your goddamn pasta and move on
New Japan Pro Wrestling has been the biggest factor for One Hour Tees/Pro Wrestling Tees growth and success.
yeah bullet club and what not
Great video, and congrats to all the success. Richly deserved!
7:05 "The Grey Meanie" 😆 he actually looks a lot better. Meanie The Grey
GOOD ON YALL & THANK YOU RYAN & COLT PEOPLE HERE IN PORTSMOUTH OHIO LOVE THE OPTION OF JUST HAVING TO CLICK ON A FAV T
Yuup... Definitely making a pilgrimage to PWT soon...
Marty just said hey Jungle boy locate me
Didn't expect this!
Great job guys!
Pro Wrestling Tees > Shop WWE
It’s okay to say that this video is pretty amazing?
Great Doc!!!!!
This was killer!
Love this
Great video and continued success to you guys!
Colt saying "I had a friend at the time..." Ouch
Wow!! This is awesome
All I see is.....MERRRRCCCHHHH FREEEEEEEAAKKK
Thats all I know anymore
Who was that friend at the time Colt? 🤨🤨
You guys should ship to more countries tho
Isn't that mat nicks 22:26 the guy who lost to Cody the other week on dynamite 🧐
Saksham the one and only
Yes
This is dope
Frank looks like Big Show. Smaller version of course, no offense Frank.
Can I point out Marty and flip were with Cody and Luchasarus around 13:25
Marty also shows up on Zack Ryders Instagram. Whats your point? He has items on ProWrestlingTees.
Good stuff
No, thank you PWT!!
PRODUCT
You guys hiring?
Hey Colt.....making pro wrestling gear is FAR MORE overwhelming than making t-shirts as I speak from experience. All my processes are done by hand except for the sewing machine part but either way, it's very very time consuming. Especially when the staff consists of only one person. Plenty of middle ground between being someones t-shirt guy and being someones gear guy.
Who do I have to contact about a design idea???
If you're a wrestler, go to the site and click "Start a Store"
14:00 a rare time you will find MJF out of character
He isnt an ass behind the scenes just on video.. Guys a gentlemen in real life.
At an Indy show in Chicago I went to, him and Colt would say they're father and son and when buying a micro brawler from Colt and getting it signed mjf was behind me whining and saying "cmon dad I wanna go home!" That's the first time I seen him out of character
@14:00 the first time MJF breaking kayfabe has ever been documented(aew related). This video is going to be collectors item.
Search MJF highspots.
Eh.. He is out of character behind the scenes all the time. Guy is a gentlemen
I look at the website every day
34:45
Merchausen
This looks more like aew propaganda.
Jauckor it's actually about our company. Did you watch it?
H...How?
LOL
