Pro wrestling is all about style and strong attitude. Whether it is the TNA, ROH or WCW, all of the pro wrestling companies put their high-altitude efforts on bringing top notch entertainment to the viewers of wrestling all over the world. Maybe you are wondering why I did not mention the biggest name of wrestling world that is WWE. This is because of the fact that the WWE is not a pro wrestling anymore and based on storylines and highly focused on characterizations of wrestlers (who are more actors rather than wrestlers) which is why it is now called World wrestling “entertainment”.
At the other hand, companies like TNA (Total nonstop action) and ROH (Ring of Honor) are totally based on hardcore fighting and are allowed to use various fighting weapons such as steel chairs, barbed wires, ring steps and more, which is why people are more appealed towards these shows rather than the WWE these days.
When we talk about the wrestling logos, one thing that is common in every wrestling logo is the style and tough look, which can be seen in all of the logos below. However, I would like to mention here that the logos I’m going to show you below, some of them are associated with such companies which are not under operations anymore;
TNA (Total Non Stop Action): one can easily feel the energy from the red color and the edgy type fonts which are tilted sideways in a nice manner. A nice logo of a cracking wrestling program which is working days and nights to compete against their biggest business rival “WWE”.
ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling): ECW was previously a highly rated wrestling program because of its free style wrestling rules (in fact there were no rules at all). Looking at its content, the logo is made with the unforgiving barbed wires around the ECW type fonts. A really commendable logo, really close to the meaning of the company.
NWO (New World Order): Established by the legends of wrestling world; Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, NWO was basically a professional wrestling stable that originally wrestled for WCW, and was not a TV program itself. The stable's gimmick was a group of unsanctioned wrestlers aiming to "take over" and control WCW in the manner of a street gang, which can be easily seen by this logo’s Type fonts and shibboleth.Team NWO is currently participating as “The Band” in Total Nonstop Action (TNA).
