It took us a few days to notice this, because we’re false metal and don’t like wrestling much. However, Metal Injection was on top of it and noticed right away. Sunday’s Money in the Bank pay per view wrestling special found wrestler Dolph Ziggler taking to the ring in a studded vest with metal band patches on it. There was Twisted Sister, Judas Priest, and of course Megadeath. Wait, what? Either Ziggler or, more likely, his stylist wasn’t big enough of a fan to know that the name of one of the Big 4 was spelled wrong, or didn’t care. Where would you even go to buy a “Megadeath” patch? Is it in between the “Motley Crew,” “Corn” and “Lead Zeppelin” ones? Either way, the following day, on Monday Night Raw, the WWE wrestler wore the same vest, but with a spelling-corrected patch. But seriously, if anyone knows where to get a patch like that, let us know.
