TheNetworkZ Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Who else remembers when there used to be a sea of signs in the WWE/WWF? Now it seems like less than half the fans bring signs to Raw/Smackdown. Is there an actual reason for this, or are the fans just lazy (or don't care for bringing signs) or something now? Reason I bring this up is because they were discussing this on Aftermath a few weeks ago and I thought I was the only one to have noticed this.

Monarch98 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Signs get taken away also. Honestly , half the signs that aren't taken away and end up on TV are stupid stuff to begin with. Not really creative at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumpy McRighteous Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 The kids and women are too young and too stupid (respectively) to make any creative signs, hence their dwindling numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyriqz ✪ Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I loved the #Bazinga Sign at the last SD! But yeah, WWF and early WWE up untill 2006 or 07 had tons of sign, then it started fading away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazman™ Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 If signs weren't taken off the fans like they are today I bet we would see just as many as we used to. You can't really blame the fans because I know for a fact I wouldn't take a sign to a WWE event now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. JustMe Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Yeah, the problem is that signs are being taken away by security all the time because some of them wouldn't fit the new age demographic...it's sad, really...it was always awesome to read signs on TV and get a good laugh...

Raddad88 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'm assuming none of you ever went to a live event during the "Sign era" aka the attitude era. It was f'n terrible. Couldn't see a damn thing. So glad it's been cut down on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't see a damn thing. So glad it's been cut down on. That does sound like a positive trade-off It was terrible. I remember I was like 8 and went with my cousin. The guy in front of us had literally a stack of 15-20 signs that were just white with a wrestlers name written in sharpie. Nothing cool or unique. I couldn't see a god damn thing, even standing on my seat there was just a big ass sign. My cousin asked the guy to knock it off so I could see, since he would hold his sign up anytime a wrestler glanced at him or a camera was within 1/2 mile, he wouldn't. My cousin got tired of it and when the dude stood up with a sign he grabbed his stack, ripped them in half and tossed them. Guy turned around pissed and my cousin grabbed that one and some not so PG terms were used. Guy sat down and shut up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
