Shite posters

[Gus Mears]

This is the only good thing the Facebook algorithm has ever done for me. For some reason Zuckerberg thinks I live in Tennessee and really, really want to attend events by Iconic Championship Wrestling.

Lot to unpack here. Let's ignore that they've spelled 'Steel' incorrectly in the second one and tried to rectify it by adding flames.

I'm not sure I've seen anyone who looks more as if they would die if they took a bump than Lemmy Killminster's corpse (and I watched Flair's last match). Also a big fan of the young lad who has put shorts on because the takeaway driver is outside, rubbing his hands in expectation of a cracking chippy tea.

Multiple people doing 'rock on' hand signs. Russian Communists in the year of our Lord 2025. What does 'No mud crickes' mean? Gargamel and his wife. Smell Generico. I want to go.

Definitely a couple of them that look like they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near high schools.

Glad to see Korstia Korchenko's still alive.

Paul Hollywood in there as well. It is iconic.

I like how the one woman has styled her hair on 1995 era Stunning Steve Austin, a nice little touch and Easter egg for the real fans.

You kids obviously don't remember posters made during the MS Word era, because this is a long way from the worst posters I've seen.

What was that lad's name that used stock WWE promo pics, along with a photo of him stood in his kitchen? Jamie Spitfire?

Part of me would love to see Iconic Championship Wrestling.

 

WCW and WWF/E have done some absolute shit posters over the years. Some so shit they are amazing though. 

Sting if Zordon and the Lawnmower Man had a child. 

I get the whole Thanksgiving special, which was what Survivor Series essentially was, but at least put some fucking star power on the front. I get that was the main event heel team (says a lot about this event really), but it was a shit team and Michaels and Diesel were around at the time.

Probably not but given that everyone has a high quality camera in their pocket, access to great photoshop is free, AI can do most of the work for you or freelancers who are good at this stuff are easily accessible, it's a mega achievement to put out posters that shit. 

I love them though. Being utterly low-rent is the rasslin business's IP. Never change.

Firstly, that's amazing. It also was one of a pair. Pretty novel, I think. And both amazing. Tatanka dancing with a knife and fork is his career highlight.

Love a poster for a match that never happened too.

Are the turkeys dressed as yokozuna and lex luger?

These are pretty shite. Especially the NOC '11 poster.

I hadn't noticed that, but actually that's quite good and taken that one up a notch in my estimation.

Any relation to Tony Shitfire?

[Callum1993]

Another WCW candidate here.

If they took away the captions Id say it was okay, the actual ppv is fucking dire though. 

This one below is mental. A shit picture of a midcarder who did nothing of note on the show.
