42 Signs You're a Wrestling Fan

As I've mentioned here before, I grew up and still am a huge wrestling fan.  If you care to look back on my love for the world of professional wrestling, here's a bit of a background, including the time I got to meet Stone Cold Steve Austin and go to dinner with The Rock.  They're highlights of my life and it's a blast looking back on the memories and making new ones in the present, but we all know that professional wrestling is meant to be fun.  For that reason, lots of wrestling fans become the butts of jokes and get made fun of for their passion.  Let's face it, some do take their love a bit too far and take the predetermined world of entertainment too seriously.  I'll admit, at times, I've been there and have certainly marked out over surprise returns and turns.  I guess we all have and that's why there are so many "Signs You're a Wrestling Fan" lists out there.  I've read them, they're funny, and they usually relate to me in one way or another.  To celebrate President's Day, Monday Night Raw and the launch of the WWE Network on 2/24, I wanted to come up with The Holidaze's list of signs.  I've written 42 of them and, yes, a few of these apply to me directly at one point in my life or another.  Whether you watch wrestling every week, haven't in years, or never did and don't plan to, this list is for you.  It opens up a window of laughter, regardless of where you stand on men in spandex tights.

The Holidaze: 42 Signs You're a Wrestling Fan

 

 

WWE Ice Cream Bars

I'm taking a quick break from the Halloween Countdown because my friend James (give him a follow!) gave me a cool idea and I couldn't wait to get cracking.  If you've read The Holidaze, you know how big of a wrestling fan I am.  Growing up, it was always my dream to design for the company and work for the greatest entertainment organization in the world.  After all, it was the WWE that inspired me to start designing in the first place.  So, after seeing my Hi-C juice boxes, my friend said I should make modern versions of the classic "WWF" Ice Cream bars.  Remember those?  The cookie, vanilla, and chocolate ice cream bar was always my first choice whenever Mr. Softee stopped by the block.  They were awesome and even C.M. Punk has been waiting for them to make a comeback.  They may not be returning any time soon, but just like those juice boxes, we can all take a look at what they would look like if they were a reality.

Using an old ad from WWF Magazine as base, here are some current WWE Superstars in retro form!

Of course, the original "WWF" logo and mentions have all been edited for today's use.

 

I think they're pretty cool and look like the ones you'd actually find when you ripped one open, rather than the drawing on the box.

If you're not a wrestling fan, don't care about these, or think they're garbage -- no worries.  It's back to Halloween!!
