This seems very much a location based thing.

It sure as hell didn't happen in most places in Kentucky or Georgia.

Right. Wrestling meets totally didn't give out t-shirts that celebrated 'I participated'. Georgia/Kentucky are too tough for that.

We didn't have wrestling. Wasn't a thing.

Worth pointing out that a child of the 90s would have boomer parents. The very same generation that complains about the trophies invented the practice.

I definitely don't have boomer parents, haha. Boomer grandparents.
