While cruising around The Internet Archives’ Wayback Machine, I came across the WCWwrestling.com store as it appeared in 1997.
It featured this WCW Monday Nitro Denim Jacket.
What better way than a jean jacket to have have the hip new style of 1987 in 1997?
And hey; how could you pass it up for the bargain price of just $95?
Man, I wish I knew about the internet in the 90’s. (and had my own money) I’d so rock this!
I can’t get over the fact that Arn Anderson is modeling it. Wasn’t Rick Martel in WCW by then?
Double A should’ve switched this up with his traditional black jacket every now and then.
That would have been so awesome.
He could have simply cut the arms off the denim and wore it over the black one, a la the new wave of heavy metal 1980
I think Triple H in 2000 stole that idea with his leather/denim jacket combo
Hey, are you dissing jean jackets? I still wear mine to this day!
Checked out the News portion of that page. it was right when WCW signed Reggie White.
Jim Duggan was selling one of these on ebay recently. I’m kicking myself for not buying it when I had the chance.
That picture of Sgt. Craig Pittman when you click the merchandise link is priceless.
That jacket is so awesome. I wish I owned it.
I still have one. I thinking about selling it if you’re interested. My uncle used to wrestle and gave it to me. All it does now is collect dust.
