If you're a pro wrestler trying to build your name online, hashtags aren't just fluff — they're booking magnets. Used right, hashtags can put your content in front of new fans, promoters, merch buyers, and wrestling media scouts. Used wrong, you’re just shouting into a void.
This post breaks down how to use hashtags effectively — and gives you a ready-to-go list tailored for wrestlers, content types, and goals.
🎯 Why Hashtags Matter for Wrestlers
Whether you’re trying to:
- Get booked on more shows
- Sell merch
- Grow your character brand
- Get eyes on your promos or matches...hashtags are your shortcut to visibility.
They're like virtual fliers. Every hashtag is a "room" — use the right ones and walk into a space full of potential fans.
📱 The 3 Golden Rules of Hashtag Use
- Be Specific, Not Generic#Wrestling has 30 million+ posts. You’ll drown. Try #TexasIndieWrestling or #CruiserweightStyle to narrow the field.
- Use 5–15 Relevant Tags Per Post. Don’t spam 30 hashtags. Focus on targeted, relevant ones that describe your content and niche.
- Rotate Based on Post Type. Use different tags for promos, training clips, gear reveals, match highlights, or lifestyle content.
