All you need is a unique T-shirt now available online at a brand-new, official website set up by Frank Jasper, the former wrestler/actor who played the undefeated state champion wrestler Brian Shute in the classic 1985 movie "Vision Quest."
Wrestling fans can select from two unique "from the movie to the mat" designs.
The "Shute" model features the iconic image of the muscular, menacing wrestler climbing the bleachers with a log across the back of his shoulders, with the word "Shute" written in a gold, hand-written script. Crafted of "Next Level" Tri-blend fabric, the "Shute" is available in black, red or gray, in sizes medium, large, XL, XXL or XXXL.
The "Mat Monster" design shows Shute in a singlet with headgear, with red type that says "The Mat Monster." This shirt -- made from comfortable "Next Level" Tri-blend fabric -- is available in black or gray, in sizes medium, large, XL and XXL.
Each shirt is priced at $25 each plus shipping and handling. A portion of the profit will be donated to wrestling community programs, Jasper told InterMat. If you need another reason to purchase from ShuteShirts.com: these shirts are the only ones available online direct from the guy who played Shute in the movie about a high school wrestler (Louden Swain, played by Matthew Modine) on a quest to beat the undefeated state champ. (You wouldn't want to make Shute mad by buying from someone else, would you?)
Brian Shute training
The shirts made their debut at this weekend's 2016 World Cup freestyle wrestling event at the Forum in Los Angeles, according to Jasper.
In addition to the new shirts, the new ShuteShirts.com website also has photos of Frank Jasper as Shute from "Vision Quest" … as well as links to media coverage of the former wrestler-turned-actor who is now operating Osani Holistic Health Care in Pacific Palisades, Calif. just outside Los Angeles. Additional features are in development for the website, including training tips, according to Jasper.
