This yearbook page shows several headlines that work well for a wrestling spread. A number of bold headlines make a statement while still bringing the main headline “Pin and Win: Every Move Matters” to the reader’s immediate focus. The other titles maximize rhymes and take advantage of sports lingo: “Hustle and Tustle” and “Pin and Win” both rhyme and make references to wrestling jargon.
Here are some other fun slogans you can use for your school’s wrestling spread:No Pain. No Gain”
“Ready to Rumble”
“Rock Solid”
“Pin It to Win It”
“Out on Top”
“Toughest Six Minutes There Is”
“Grapple Up”In this yearbook layout, “Staying Afloat Through Changing Times” is an engaging headline that both cleverly references swimming and makes the reader curious to know what changes have happened. The “Press Play” headline complements the film roll aesthetic of the photos next to it.

“Sink Or Swim”

Before we do, though, a quick word about clever headlines: They don’t need to be funny.
