With wrestling going back to TNT in the form of All Elite Wrestling and WWE's Smackdown going to Fox, both of which are happening next month, wrestling's on a lot of people's minds. Likewise, we've all seen a guy with a "Circle Me, Bert" sign at a Twins game. It's a harmless sign, it gets some guy some air time.
However, wrestling fans are known to a bit spicier in their opinions and choices of words. Now, I know it isn't real, but I assure you, if Game of Thrones was a live Pay-Per-View like what WWE does on a monthly basis, there would be angry signs and boos that would damn near drown out the show itself. With that being said, here are some of the funnier and saucier signs in wrestling history. I'm not making a list, and I'm not restricting myself to just WWE, though most of them are from there. Be warned, this isn't for the faint of heart. The one above is just to shield Facebook users from all the vulgarity.
Right off the bat, we have a Bret Hart sign. A lot of the heat Hart had wasn't due to the fact that he was a bad guy for torturing Stone Cold in the ring, it's because he's Canadian. No wonder Canadian WWE fans boo everything else.
That's not a very nice thing to say about Stardust!
If you look up "double murder suicide" on Google, one of the first thing's you'll find is the Chris Benoit incident. I'm not joking, this one is actually a little messed up.
"Because it can put me out in a few minutes and becomes Universal Champion!"
Another Bret Hart sign. This one is less creative. "Get it? Hart rhymes with Fart!"
The safety word is "Bret Screwed Bret".
You don't even work for the man, and you're fired.
Believe it or not, there was a time when fans didn't like Dwayne Johnson. Before complaining online was a thing, there's only one thing you could do: Send death threats!
The strangest part is that this sign looks professionally made, unlike the other signs on this entry. It looks like he went to some custom sign store, if such a thing exists. The lettering and the materiel look too good just to be a paper sign. What do I know?
Spelled incorrectly on purpose? Probably. An inside joke? Probably. The thing is, Eddie Guerrero was beloved by fans, so it blows my mind that people would still throw in the Latin American stereotype, and in public, on TV.
There we go. There's a clever Bret Hart sign.
