Jeff Hardy wrestling sign

As you can see this sign is made to pay hommage to Jeff Hardy whom we have never met! We have met his brother Matt, the nicest person and superstar ever, three times so it would be nice to once meet Jeff as well. Till then we are prepared with this sign and we will prably make a new one as well since I am not entirely happy with this one. The inspiration I got from one of my Hardy Boyz T-shirts and I also borrowed the fonts from the AIR JORDAN-logo. The message "Air Hardy always connects" is not half bad but I still feel there is something missing. And yes once again, this took forever to finish with all the detailing and the colours.

Deuce and Domino wrestling sign

Deuce and Domino are a quite new tagteam in the WWE, at least they were quite new when I made the sign, and they are currently on Smackdown. Its hard to come up with ideas if you have not seen the wrestlers so much so here I went more for the visual than for the text. What I did was basically steal the logo from the Marvel character DareDevil och put Deuce & Dominos names beside it. Its an OK sign and the colours helps it get noticed but thats about it. We never got a chance to speak to D & D at the airport, they were sort of busy so we just kept in the background but it would be nice to flaunt the sign in front of them one of these days. As always, this also took time, but its the extinsive colouring and I do have to think that thru if I am going to massproduce new signs for the next event we will be attending. But thats if of course since nothing has been decided yet.

The Major Brothers wrestling signs

Making "easy to see"-signs are what we do know instead of drawing faces. When I do draw faces it usually comes out so bad I cannot use the signs, this is an example on how the signs can get to be unusable even though I did not draw faces. This one we made just before going to Barcelona but since the Major Brothers were not on the tour we never used it. And it did not take long before the WWE changed the Major Brothers gimmicks to Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins, the Edgeheads! So this was a waste of time and you could say that it was a Major f-u! Otherwise we were quite happy with it but it will now of course never be used.

Christian Cage, Captain Charisma wrestling signs

Here are two signs I made when Christian (Cage) was still in the WWE (he is now currently in the TNA). Both signs were made in my facepainting days and they are therefore not so good. What I did was try to play with Christians catchphrases on the first one and the message, the peepulations choice is not to bad but thats not enough to make a good sign. I was not at all happy with it so I quickly made another one.


The second sign was inspired by all the electionposters you see and Captain Charisma for President was not a bad message to put on a sign, sadly enough I had to draw another face and you see how that ended up. We have met Christian but the signs were in our room at the time so the photo we took of him and my kids is without the signs. Would you like to see that photo, and a bunch of others, you can just go to http://macgregor.webblogg.se/wrestling/ were we publish pictures from all our meetings with WWE Superstars.

Teddy Long wrestling sign

Teddy Long is not a wrestler but since he "is" the General Manager of Smackdown we felt we had to make a sign for him as well. We were not sure if he was going to be along on the tour but for safety we made one, that was lucky! At this time Teddy was caught up in a storyline with Eric Bischoff who was the GM of RAW so thats what we used when creating the sign. The week after the tour Teddy had a match against Eric at the Survivor Series so what else was there to write but Teddy Long whips Bischoff any day of the week. I tried to write it in the Smackdown logo fonts and the RAW-logo fonts and the sign came out so so. Teddy Long on the other hand loved it!


Below you see my son and daughter (this must have been 2004 or 2005) together with Teddy Long and the sign. Seeing the sign Teddy said, -Just you wait another week and then you will see how true it is! He posed for quite a few photos and we also had a really nice chat with him. My daughter really liked him because he asked what her and her bunnys name was before he wrote autographs. Of course he got us to say Holla Holla! Nice guy, I will have to make a better and more fitting sign for the next time we go to a Smackdown event.

Jimmy Wang Yang wrestling sign

Not much to say about this one. I made it just before we went to Barcelona last fall and I did not come up with anything catchy so I let the picture speak instead. Since I am not doing faces anymore I am quite happy with this one. It stands out and is easily spotted in a crowd. We did meet, overstatement, Jimmy at the airport but since he just walked pass us when he was going to the check-in we never really got time to speak to him. We should have had the sign up, maybe he would have stopped then. We will keep the sign till next time, it does not go out of date, or until Jimmy changes his gimmick, if he ever does. Anyways, it took some time to make but as we said

The Big Show wrestling signs

Thinking of the Big Show we needed something big so the signs I made for him are, big! Unfortunately they were made during my "face-painting"-period and therefore they are not very good. As an extra bonus I made the signs during his "shaved"-period, which did not last long, so the signs were out of date before we got to use them. We have met Big Show once and he was really a huge person with huge hands. One of the best photos we have of my kids with wrestlers, and we do have a lot, is the one with Big Show, the size difference is staggering and that makes it a special photo. Big Show was, as most wrestlers are, a nice person and he did seem to have a good sense of humour as well. Anyway, the first sign, "Chokeslam me to oblivion" is the one you see below. The only thing I was happy about with this one was his Tiger-tattoo that actually looks real good, the rest, well, try another one was my first thought!


And thats just what I did! Unforunately the second sign came out crappy as well. I like the slogan that I came up with, "The Big Show, so big it hurts", which can be read in many ways, but since I went for antoher facejob it just sucked. News on the Internet is saying that the Big Show is coming out of retirement and has signed a new deal with the WWE so I will just have to make a good sign for him the next time. Not necessarily big, I think thats were I went wrong for starters.

I have this blog for some time now and I do have quite a few visitors but I am yet to see the first comment on the actual blog (even thou people comment this on swewrestling.com) so it would be nice, if you like it or hate it or whatever if you just wrote down something. It would be appreciated.
