Talk is Jericho Recap w/ Ryan Barkin – Creating Pro Wrestling Tees, Unheard Stories of Young Bucks & Steve Austin, Who’s Their Best Seller? More!

Barkin mentions that he’ll sell anything as long as people will buy it. He tells Matt and Nick Jackson to take advantage of this opportunity while they can because if they ever sign with WWE they won’t be able to capitalize on these merchandise sales. Jericho points out that WWE will not budge on their merchandise percentages either.
The original Bullet Club shirt is their highest selling shirt of all time, and it’s still in the top 3 best sellers now even though it’s been around for close to five years. He mentions that Marty Scurll is the highest selling solo wrestler right now, and the top 3 sellers last year were The Young Bucks, Marty Scurll and Steve Austin in that order.

Barkin informs that Pro Wrestling Tees now has 30 full time employees, and his mother handles the Human Resource side of the business. He also points out that he purchased Pro Wrestling Crate when it had 300 monthly subscribers. He’s now grown that business to 3500 monthly subscribers and handles that basically on his own which is a lot of work.
He says his favourite wrestler of all time is Steve Austin, and he was sweating while talking business with him on the phone. He informs that he started the business to give wrestlers money, and he splits the money with wrestlers basically 50/50 after the cost of business.
That sums up today’s episode of Talk is Jericho. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
