Kid Kash wrestling sign

Another wrestler who left the WWE before we got to use the sign. Kid Kash had a brief stint in the WWE but as soon as we decided to make a sign his faith was sealed. We do not do that may any more because its hard beeing responsible for all these lay-offs! Not a bad sign thou.

Doug Basham wrestling sign

Doug Basham, the first WWE Superstar I ever spoke (if we disregard a brief meeting with JBL on a Helsinki street) to. At the time thou I did not know the guy was a WWE Superstar! My son and I had gone up to the breakfastroom at the Hotel and we were simply amazed that all the wrestlers were sitting down there for breakfast, we were staying at the same hotel as them! I was up at the buffét and this bald guy with a Unforgiven T-shirt came up beside me and took some eggs. He said, -"Good morning"! I said good morning as well thinking that this was one of the crewguys and asked him politely if he thought if it was possible that me and my son asked the wrestlers for autographs and perhaps a photo when they were leaving the breakfastroom. He said, -"Sure, no problem" so we finished our breakfast and went outside the breakfastroom and waited. When they came along we stood up and asked but when this guy came out we just sat there in our chairs. He said, -"What about the photo and the autograph"? I stood up and pushed my son, who had no clue, forward and the guy wrote "Doug Basham" and then we understood. At the time the Bashams were new in the WWE and we had heard about them but just seen them once or twice on our computer (Sweden did not, and still does not, send the WWE shows on the TV). Doug was ever so nice and after that meeting he was one of our favorites.

I decided of course to make a sign later which I did. However the next time the WWE came to Finland the Bashams had split up and Doug had a new gimmick so I had to alter the sign and add hair, moustasche and sunglasses. It did not come out that well. And of course, as soon as we made the sign, Doug was forced to leave the WWE so we never used it, story of my life!



My son and Doug Basham, we had just figured out who he was!

Chris Benoit part 2 wrestling sign

This is another of our Chris Benoit wrestling signs. The other you can see in an earlier post. Not much more to say here, most of it has already been said.


Below you can see my son and Chris Benoit the first time we met him. Ever so charming and thoughtful and it was one of the highpoints of that particular trip. Somehow we feel a bit ashamed for that even thou we know we should not. At the time, Chris was a hero, that time has sadly passed.

Brian Hebner wrestling sign

This one has never been used since after we made it Brian Hebner left the WWE. Its the curse of the wrestling signs all over again! We think its quite witty thou and there are not very many signs for the refs out there so I am sure it would have been spotted.

Hardcore Holly wrestling sign

He looks a bit crazy on this sign, Hardcore Holly! This was when I was stuck with trying to draw the wrestlers faces and as you can see I was not very succesfull here either. This was the first of our "We came to see..."-signs and it serves its purpose but thats about it. We once met Hardcore in the restaurant at the hotel we were staying at in Finland. He stopped by our table and said a few words, signed two autographs and then walked along to where the other wrestlers were sitting. One thing one can say about Hardcore is that he had huge biceps and beeing slammed by him must hurt like h...

Big Vito wrestling sign

Here is another example of our wrestlingsign-curse. As soon as we did this one Big Vito changed his character and starting wearing a skirt. Somehow the message "The Real Italian Stallion" seemed a bit out of touch. I proceeded in drawing anothoer Vito-sign where I used the movie-poster from the famous Marilyn Monroe-movie "The Seven Year Itch" but as soon as I had sketched it up, Vito was fired! So that one went into the dumpster. However we got to use this sign at one event but I doubt that Vito saw us, just like the time we met him in a hotel-lobby!

Scotty 2 Hotty wrestlingsign

There is not much to say about this one since we never have used it. Scotty was billed a few times for the events that we have been to but he has never been there so the sign has always stayed in the suitcase. Its not a bad sign, suits Scottys image but since he has left the WWE I seriously doubt that we ever will get to use it.
