Signs point to a possible Phish New Year’s Eve gag featuring an appearance from WWF legend the Iron Sheik.
CLUE #1: This year’s official New Year’s shirt features a wrestler fighting an alligator.
Past Phish New Year’s t-shirts have reflected their gags, such as the golf spectacle of 2012-2013.
CLUE #2: Yesterday, the Sheik tweeted at Mike Gordon in regards to Phish Miami:
hello @mike_gordon you invite me to beat the fuck out of the alligators in the Miami let me know bubba
