For those of you attending the San Diego Comic-Con this week, here is a complete schedule of pro wrestling-related events, exclusives, panels and signings:

MASKED REPUBLIC EXCLUSIVES

As fans of cool pro wrestling merchandise, we love exclusives!  As fans of cool pro wrestling merchandise, we also know how much it sucks to hear that something is a convention exclusive and know that there is probably no way to get our hands on it.  So, not wanting to do that to our fans and customers, we have made all of our SDCC Week Exclusives available at LuchaShop.com from now until Sunday night at midnight PT or until they sell out - whichever comes first.  Our exclusives include a duo of G.I. Joe parody shirts, a LA PARK x Deadpool mash-up parody shirt by famed lucha libre cartoonist Kcidis, a stunning Cero Miedo t-shirt by Irish artist Philip Cotter, the first official t-shirt for the new "Keepin it 100 with Konnan" podcast and more.  Check out the SDCC Week Exclusives section at LuchaShop.com today!
