Wrestlemania 36 Merchandise

Last weekend was Wrestlemania. Before the world changed, Wrestlemania was going to be in Tampa Bay at Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Bucs. The stay at home orders changed that and the WWE decided to run the event without fans at their training facility in Orlando. The WWE taped the event ahead of time and split it in two separate days. I watched it and they were fun shows for the most part and a much need distraction. The WWE made merchandise for the event and for me, it's tempting to buy.

Rams

I have a handful of shirts and jerseys that I can write about. I bought this Los Angeles Rams shirt about a month ago and wasn't going to do a post on it but the Rams changed their logo last week. There's been a lot of backlash against it.

NFL Coronavirus Relief Auctions

NFL Auctions are having different items auctioned off to raise money for Coronavirus Relief efforts. 

There are jerseys, footballs, helmets, and more that are being auctioned.

Championship Shirts

On a serious note before I begin, because of the virus going around, I'm not working as much, therefore not bring anymore income. My current job involves me working events and a lot of events at my job have been postponed. Also, I'm not going to go Burlington, Ross, or anywhere else to keep my contact with people to a minimum. I think I still have a few left in my closet to write about.

I never dreamed I would live in a world were store shelves would be bare, the sports world would stop, and Disneyland would shut down. These are some strange times. 

Let Me Tell You About The Maple Leafs Last Night

Yesterday the Carolina Hurricanes played the Toronto Maple Leafs. James Reimer started for the Canes in net and went down with an injury. His backup Petr Mrazek replaced him and went out to play the puck and got crushed by Kyle Clifford. At every NHL game, there's an emergency goalie in case one team's goalies go down.

Enter 42 year old David Ayres.

David hasn't played any level of professional hockey. He played in the lower junior league a long time ago. He's practiced with the Toronto Marlies and Leafs. He's also the Zamboni drive for the Marlies.

The Leafs are down 4-2 when he comes in. Everyone watching the game thinks it's over. The first two shots on Ayres go in. The Hurricanes tighten up their defense and Ayres doesn't let another puck into the back of the net. The Hurricanes end up winning 6-4. Ayres gets his first NHL win and is the oldest player to do so. 

The Hurricanes are selling shirts with his name and number on it. I might get a jersey instead because history doesn't happen every day.

 

Carolina Panthers Literal Yard Sale.

Ron Rivera or Riverboat Ron, was the head coach of the Carolina Panthers for eight seasons. He was fired by the team after a slow start last season and is now the head coach in Washington. After eight seasons, you accumulate lots of stuff and he probably doesn't want to take it with him to Washington. He's having a yard sale tomorrow (Saturday). More info here and here.

Pirates Therma Base Jacket

With the Super Bowl coming up, I went to TJ Maxx, Burlington Coat Factory, and Ross, looking for 49'ers or Chiefs merchandise. I found a few 49'ers sweatshirts at TJ Maxx and that was it. 

On a last-minute venture, I decided to go to Marshalls, looking for anything related to the Big Game. Didn't find anything thing related to it but found something else rare.
