25 Most OUT OF POCKET WWE Attitude Era Moments

11. The Best Of Attitude Era Signs

Of course, it wasn’t just the wrestlers out there saying jaw-dropping, out-of-pocket shiznit. The fans were at it as well. 

The fans of the day were enthusiastic. They spent the day ahead of a Raw taping writing out signs supporting their favourite wrestlers and burying their least favourites. Unfortunately, in the minds of these testosterone-fuelled chuds, the worst thing imaginable was being gay. This mentality was expressed in one in every three signs. Those signs don’t bear repeating - but some fans back in the Attitude Era did have a bit of wit about them. What follows is a Best Of. 

One fan was a better worker than the useless brawlers of the WWF 1998 undercard, in that he snuck a very not-allowed sign past security. For all they knew, it read ‘Hi Todd’ - but the fan had fashioned a secret flap that, when pulled, read ‘Ya F*cker’. 

Some fans were altogether less intelligent, but dumb people are funny too, even if they don’t mean to be. One fan tried to improve upon D-Generation X’s most famous catchphrase. Their sign read ‘5 Words Put It In Your Mouth’. The original, snappier version was far better. 

In another witless and probably made-up sentiment, one guy held up a sign reading ‘Big Cock 24/7’. That’s not true, surely. What if it’s January? 

The Attitude Era fandom gets a bad rap, and often, they deserved it - but one sensitive young man held up a sign that read “I Cried During Chocolat’. Others retained an interest in cuisine, with one sign reading ‘The Rock’s cooking butt soup’.
