Wrestling Autographs

08.04.2026

Years ago I ended up with the picture that Jason got various autographs on - all I remember was that he had a gold pen everyone used and that it might have taken year of carrying around to get folks to sign it.

I never really looked at who all signed the thing, and the majority of signatures are backstage guys - makes sense as Jason was just a lightning guy back in the 90s. The other day I was cleaning and culling and got to my little shadowbox of tickets and this pic of autographs and decided it needed a little updating. Whatever I used to stick tickets to the backing board had lost maybe half of it's adhesiveness and it had turned into a shadowbox of an autographed pic and pile of tickets. Updating to magnets fixed most of that, but it also made me look at those autographs again - closer than I had in a very long time.

I tried to map the ones I could make out. Some didn't look legit - Undertaker, for example. There's a good chance it was just someone else writing his name over his pic. There are various refs and too many scribbles that could be anyone.

For help in identifying I went to a Facebook group that had helpful comments such as "all fake written by the same person - burn it". Granted, it took a day for the comments to devolve that far. I didn't really think the internet would be helpful, but I wasn't expecting that downward path so fast.

I've had this thing for 20 years. It's hard enough to track down who was working with WWE in 1999, much less who was back stage or lesser known. Now that I've started watching wrestling again after a 10+ year break, it's kind of nice now to look this and remember all the fun I used to have with wrestling.
