The History of the Award:

Signage is always a fun part of being a wrestling spectator (perhaps a fun part of being a wrestler as well). The best sign ever was seen at an ECW event, at the Elks Lodge in Queens, New York (woo hoo!). 'I LIKE POTATO SALAD'. It was personal, yet humorous, it told us a lot about the sign holder (?) but most importantly, it was completely non sequitur.

From Royal Rumble 01/24/99:

SHAMROCK 1 WORD DECAF

Co-Winner:  Actually, I think Kenny eats the coffee right out of the can... without brewing it.  Perhaps a regular cup of joe might just be what he needs.

GANGREL FEARS COUNT CHOCULA

Co-Winner:  AH!  You ain't kidding.  Count Chocula could kick Gangrel's ass any day of the week.

From Raw is War 02/01/99:

VA CHYNA

Winner: I bet you guys think the word 'titmouse' is funny too, dontcha?  Heh...  You guys Austin Powers fans?

OH WE KNOW SO SHUT THE HELL UP

1st Runner-Up:  My sentiments exactly.  Thank you for putting it so eloquently.

From Raw is War 01/11/99:

ED KIT

Winner: RonCo sells those on infomercials, right?

From Raw is War 12/28/98:

I NEED BATTERIES

Winner:  I'm sure he/she could have picked up some duracells at the souvenir stand for about $26.50 ... each.

K

Co-Winner:  I suspect this person though they were going to a baseball game...

From Raw is War 12/21/98:

MY SIGNS SUCK

Honorable Mention:  Dude, you were only holding one sign.   Show us the others, and Mad Phat will be the judge.

From Raw is War 12/14/98:

Winner:  THE best audience sign in the history of signage.   EVER!  Hands down!!

I HATE SIGNS

Runner Up: I don't get it.

From Rock Bottom 12/13/98:

BREASTS

Winner: This sign wins because it was HUGE, and it was in motion.   Litterally, a travelling sign.  I think it was looking for the popcorn vendor.

From Raw is War 11/23/98:

POOP

Winner: Man, this signer was having a MAJOR conniption!  I think it was serious.  I also thought there would have been a love connection between this signer and last week's co-winner...

From Raw is War 11/16/98:

SOCKO SAYS KNOW YOUR DAMN TOES

The Winner:  This signer wins for effectively mocking a catch phrase.

From Survivor Series 98:

WILL REF FOR FOOD

The Winner:  Chokee says she'd like to be a plant for food, but Bostin knows she'd be more likely to hold a sign that says "Will Wrestle Kane for FREE"

I NEED TOILET PAPER

Co-Winner: I just hate when you're in a public place, and they don't have TP  in the ladies'... sheesh!

From Raw is War 11/09/98:

I CAN'T READ

The Winner:  This guy musta had help making that sign, or maybe he could write, he just couldn't read.

From Raw is War 10/26/98:

VINCE IS A QUEEF

The Winner:  Now I don't know how a person can actually BE a very strange bodily noise, but, hey, this sign-holder may be on to something...

From Raw is War 10/12/98:

THE ROCK FEARS MY WIFE'S COOKING

The Winner: We noticed that the (Long Island) New York WWF fans have terrible signs. We like this one, it was THE ONLY GOOD SIGN AT NASSAU COLISEUM.

From Raw is War 10/5/98:

I LIKE CHEESE

The Winner: Could be biting off the 'I LIKE POTATO SALAD' guy, or it could be the 'I LIKE POTATO SALAD' guy. Either way, its a funny sign, and I like cheese too.

From Raw is War 9/28/98:

I FARTED

Co-Winner: we stand by anyone who stands for freedom of expression, but not necessarily by someone who farted...

WWF CAMERAMEN RULE!!

Co-Winner: this is just a cheap way of getting your sign on tv, but hey, we're not above cheap shots...

From Breakdown 98:

PUT YOUR SIGN DOWN I CAN'T SEE

The Winner! This was by far one of the most amusing signs we've seen in a long time! By the way, I must mention, it was HUGE! Congratulations, you can pick up your potato salad at the supermarket. (just don't act surprised when you have to pay for it).

CALL POLICE

First Runner Up: gotta love that non sequitur... I just wonder if anyone called.

KANE RAISE TIT CAN THE ANIC

Second Runner Up: Folding a sign during shipping can be hazardous to the message. Although the thought of Kane raising a tit is amusing, I prefer the right side. I'm no Anic fan, that's for sure.

OW YOUR ROLE

Honorable mention: This is a perfect example of what happens when uncooperative people have multiple person signs. Perhaps the 'KN' person was chasing the foamy finger vendor. This sign gets mentioned because it amused us that it went wrong. Otherwise, signs that just repeat catch phrases are lame.

From Fully Loaded 98:

LOD ARE OLD

Winner: We don't know exactly how old LOD are, but we just love this sign. Perhaps a good addition to that sign would have been 'AND DRUNK'...

From King of the Ring 98:

JJ AINT HE GAY

Winner: We're not gay bashers, but we have to tell you, that was one funny sign. As far as JJ's sexual preference goes, we have no idea, although we would definitely question his 'Silver Surfer' goes to Chippendale's outfit...
