In case you hadn't read the memo, wrestling, it seems, is in the midst of a new golden age. What better way to celebrate than to pick up some classic WWE merch in Hot Topic's massive wrestling Cyber Monday sale? Whether you were an Attitude Era diehard and want to relive the giddy thrill of hearing that glass shatter once again or were there for the Summer Of Punk, I've got you covered with a selection of the very best (and most nostalgic) on offer.

WWE Austin 3:16 T-shirt
WWE Austin 3:16 T-shirt: was $27.90 now $16.74 at Hot Topic

STONE COLD! STONE COLD! STONE COLD! That's what you'll presumably be doing while smashing beers over your head after buying this, surely the most iconic wrestling shirt and slogan of all time? Don't go around stunnering people though. That'll get you put in jail for realsies.

WWE The Rock T-shirt
WWE The Rock T-shirt: was $27.90 now $19.53 at Hot Topic

Pay homage to The Great One with this classic design featuring his old school Brahma Bull logo. Ah, remember when The Rock was a full-time wrestler and we didn't have to think about stuff like that Black Adam film? Glory days indeed.

OOOOOOOOH YEAAAAAAAAAH! If the Attitude Era was too chaotic and edgy for your tastes, throw it back a little further with this proper vintage design featuring the one and only Randy Savage. I still can't forgive him for breaking up the Mega Powers though.

WWE Wrestlemania 2000 T-shirt
WWE Wrestlemania 2000 T-shirt: was $28.90 now $17.34 at Hot Topic

Hey! Remember Wrestlemania 2000? That one actually kinda sucked! Still, you can always pick this super nu metal era-looking shirt up and pretend that you're actually celebrating the classic N64 game of the same name. Much more respectable.

WWE DX T-shirt
WWE DX T-shirt: was $28.90 now $17.34 at Hot Topic

True story: I once got kicked off a water slide when I was 12 years old for doing the DX crotch chop at the top. For that reason and that reason alone, I can't bring myself to buy this. But don't let my 25 year bitterness stop you! Go wild!

WWE CM Punk T-shirt
WWE CM Punk T-shirt: was $36.90 now $22.14 at Hot Topic

The original Summer Of Punk might have been a bust, but with Chicago's finest finally back in the WWE, what better time to pay tribute to his most iconic shirt? At 40% off, this might not quite be the Best (deal) In The World, but it's pretty close.

WWE nWo hoodie
WWE nWo hoodie: was $46.90 now $32.83 at Hot Topic

If you're nWo for life but think Hogan is damaged goods because of...well...everything, leave Hollywood behind and embrace the Wolfpac with this superbly cool nWo red and black hoodie. At almost a third off the original price, this deal is almost...wait for it...too sweet!

WWE Eddie Guerrero T-shirt
WWE Eddie Guerrero T-shirt: was $16.74 now $27.90 at Hot Topic

One of the all-time greats and gone far too soon, the fact that Eddie Guerrero is still referenced in storylines and merch today featuring everyone from his old pal Rey Mysterio to Rhea Ripley speaks volumes of his legacy. You just can't beat the original, though.

WWE Raw Is War T-shirt
WWE Raw Is War T-shirt: was $27.90 now $16.74 at Hot Topic

If this design doesn't spark immediate images of bursts of fire, a nu metal song no one knew the proper words to and clips of people being slammed through tables, you just weren't theeereee, maaaan! Let's not talk about the occasional racist segments and rampant misogyny though. That can stay in 1998.

WWE Lita T-Shirt
WWE Lita T-Shirt: was $27.90 now $16.74 at Hot Topic

A true badass and trailblazer of her era, Lita still looks and wrestles like a million bucks whenever she makes a brief return to the business. Honour her original run with this classic design. Don't be doing any moonsaults, mind. Those 'Don't try this at home' videos were legit.
