WWE is nothing without its fans, the so-called WWE Universe. It is the presence of die-hard WWE fans which has made Vince McMahon’s promotion so famous that it is. Wherever on the planet a WWE show takes place, the fans make sure that the arena fills up to its maximum capacity and they give the fans watching at home a memorable event.
The fans in attendance play a big role in the experience the TV audience has. Their enthusiasm and craziness create unforgettable moments. It is often uninteresting to watch a WWE show on TV with a dead crowd in the arena/stadium.
Follow Sportskeeda for all the updates on WWE news, rumors, WWE Raw, SmackDown, Live Event results and PPV Schedules.
The importance of the spectators cannot be measured and some of these spectators come up with banners and placards for their favorite superstars. If they are lucky, they get captured by the broadcaster and they are on TV. But, not all fans come up with constructive messages on the banner, some use their unique creativity and bring humorous banners to the stadium.
Here are the best 13 banners seen in the crowd:
#13 Nitro is better than Monday Night RAW
On one of the RAW episodes, a member of the WWE Universe looked to be extremely miserable with the pathetic quality of the RAW episode he paid to attend live. He revealed his disenchantment straight away with a banner reading, “I could be at home watching Nitro”.
Seriously, during the Nikki Bella vs Brie Bella feud, the quality of the episodes of the flagship show were not up to the mark and hence, any fan might have wished to watch Nitro episodes on the WWE Network.
#12 Maybe, Maybe, Maybe!
Daniel Bryan had gotten over with the crowd with his exceptional “Yes!” and “No!” chants on RAW. The WWE Universe then started using the ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ chants to show their support they admired or to oppose anything they despised in the WWE.
However, on one of the RAW episodes, a group of three partners carried posters of “Yes! Yes! Yes!”, “No! No! No!” and “Maybe!, Maybe! Maybe!” and in a way tried to troll Daniel Bryan’s chants.
#11 Upgrading with time
John Cena was the golden lad of Vince McMahon whose figure was built as a Superman who can crush anything and everything in a fair way to amuse the fans. But later, the fans turned their back on the leader of Cenation and banners of “If Cena wins, we riot” were frequently visible in the arenas. However, at one of the events, a young fan modified that sentence and made it “If Cena wins, we complain online," which is in fact the truth in the modern era.
#10 Cena watches "The Bacholer"
The Bachelor show which is primarily followed by the female audience made it to a WWE arena once. During an episode of RAW, a fan tried to troll John Cena by doubting his machismo and pointing out that Cena watches the Bacholer (only that he got the spelling wrong).
#9 Ryback gets trolled for his gimmick
The WWE Creative gave Ryback a ‘Feed Me More’ gimmick, where several superstars were fed to him in his rise to the top. However, after a few weeks of this gimmick’s debut, a fan came up with an animated poster featuring Ryback’s face fixed over an animal kind of thing.
As Ryback always used to shout “Feed Me More! Feed Me More!” and even his theme song had those words in the lyrics, the poster asked the WWE to feed the ‘hungry’ Ryback.
#8 An additional benefit you receive when watching RAW live
Michael Cole has been an integral part of the WWE announcers’ desk since years and the veteran has earned a lot of respect for his work.
However, not everyone likes Cole, especially this fan who displayed a banner which read “I’m Glad I don’t have to hear Michael Cole” while sitting just behind the man himself.
#7 Yes! We Can
In the PG stage, the WWE Creative could not develop good baby-face superstars. They tried to get John Cena over with the kids but the teens and the mature part of the WWE Universe did not buy the good guy John Cena idea.
But, then came Daniel Bryan, a baby-face who had no haters. Every arena where the bearded superstar went, the crowd went crazy behind him and backed him in spite of his defeats in WWE. This posted just signifies the above statement.
#6 Only Stone Cold Steve Austin things!
Stone Cold Steve Austin is perhaps the greatest creation of Vince McMahon. No other gimmick in the industry’s existence has surpassed the popularity levels of the Texas Rattlesnake.
Even this man knew this thing and hence he rightly made the statement, “On the 8th Day, God created Stone Cold Steve Austin!”
#5 This is Awesome! Stupid!
The 'This is Awesome' chants are heard in the WWE arenas quite frequently but not it is not always that the product is awesome. A lot of years ago, during a WWE show, a fan carried the banner 'This is Stupid' to express his personal views over the WWE product's quality.
Looking at Vince McMahon's actions in this picture, I feel that this frustrated fan was done with the soap opera that WWE was trying to become and wanted the wrestling back.
#4 Time for some rest
We all know that the superstars perform a set of submission locks to slow down the pace of the match and recover some of the lost energy.
The WWE Universe usually do not like this pauses and this man's banner came up at the right time during a match between Daniel Bryan and Triple H at WrestleMania XXX.
#3 Get Flair an escalator!
Ric Flair, the dirtiest player in the game is loved by a lot of members of the WWE Universe for the work he has done inside the squared circle for decades.
However, there was a time when the Nature Boy had well past his prime, the WWE Universe thought that he could not even walk properly and thus, this guy asked for an escalator so that Flair need not climb to the ring via steps.
#2 Never Give Up!
Besides the haters, there were also a lot of people who loved John Cena for his 'Never Give Up' gimmick. And, this old lady just showed us why we should never give up. At 88 years old, she was attending a WWE show, sitting in the front row and showing her pride for John Cena.
#1 A loyal son
Without a doubt, the best banner that I have ever seen on WWE TV is this young child's message to the Viper, Randy Orton. While, the child's mom had a message for Sheamus on her banner, she actually wanted to have Randy Orton's phone number. But, she told about this to her son instead as the innocent kid asked for Randy's number for his mom.
