Sign Ideas for a WWE Wrestling Event

When you score tickets for a World Wrestling Entertainment event, you want to make sure you show the proper support for your favorite wrestler. For some people, simply showing up and cheering is enough. For the diehard fans, though, true support means making a homemade sign to display at the arena. By demonstrating some creativity and initiative, you can make your WWE sign the best at the match.

  1. Creativity

    • Show some creativity not just in the content of your sign but the presentation. Decorate your sign with bold, dark markers that will show up on camera. Use glitter and aluminum foil, which will shine when they catch the light in the arena. If you're going with friends, consider making signs that interact with each other—each person's sign can be a single word, for example, and when you hold them up together, it creates a phrase.

      Of course, not all signs have to be simple messages written on poster board. Experiment with different mediums, such as large dolls with messages written on them, or flags. Be sure to review the arena's restrictions on what you can bring in with you, however.

    Humor

    • Avoid making your sign too serious—remember that WWE is entertainment and that your sign should be entertaining, too. Performers in the WWE are known for their vicious rivalries, feuds, taunts and catchphrases. Use this material to your advantage when preparing your sign. For example, don't just write your favorite wrestler's catchphrase on a sign—instead, turn his opponent's catchphrase into something foolish or insulting. Don't be afraid to insult, degrade or make light of another wrestler. They mock each other in the ring, so joining in from the stands is perfectly acceptable.

    Bad Ideas

    • Of course, there are some things to avoid when making the perfect WWE sign. According to its Website, the WWE is committed to producing family-friendly programming. While some of its shows—including signs in the audience—include suggestive language or behavior, the WWE “wants fans to have fun at [its] live events but [does] not condone rude and boorish behavior.” What this means for you and your sign is that you should keep it relatively clean—avoid serious vulgarity, language or sexually explicit content on your sign. If the WWE deems your sign inappropriate, it may confiscate it—and after investing time, money and creative energy into that sign, the last thing you want is to have it taken away because of a vulgarity or profane language.
