WWE: 10 Commercials You Just Have to See!
Good Sunday boys and girls!
I just love the response I get from all of you, the readers of the Bleacher Report Pro-Wrestling community.
Though some are very "special" comments, I value and learn from EVERY SINGLE ONE of them, so I wish to thank all of you for helping me be a success every week.
Now, as I browsed through the footage of all the pieces I wrote, I happened to stumble upon some great and funny segments and wondered: Why don't they do stuff like this more often? These are amazing!
I literally laughed my butt off watching most of them and decided to compile my favorites here for you.
Get on your boots and follow me inside the cuckoo's nest as we take a look at some of the most hilarious and/or crazy commercials for the WWE.
WWE Shows No Mercy for Baseball
1 of 11Kane, Edge, The Hardys and the APA star in this wacky promo for WWE's No Mercy pay-per-view event in 2001.
It was a great time back then. The "Attitude" Era was coming to an end as Vince McMahon purchased WCW, and he has since toned down his product.
With all that CM Punk stuff happening, could we be witnessing the birth of a new era? One that is not Rated R or PG?
A new hybrid?
No matter.
I'm just glad I'm not part of that baseball team...clotheslines from hell, TLCs, Kane tackles and SPEAR SPEAR SPEAR!
That's gotta hurt!
Thank Goodness for Chef Spinaroone
2 of 11The secret to becoming a big powerhouse like Kane: Eat Chef Boyardee!
They will think of just about anything won't they?
Every time I see Kane acting like this it makes me laugh. Isn't he supposed to be the Big Red Monster?
I wonder if Booker T's mama was anything like that woman portrayed in Eddie Murphy's "Delirious" show back in 1987.
You know? The one that throws her slippers, and they go around the world until..WHAAM!
I like Booker and am glad he's back in WWE.
Ultimate Warrior Snap! Big Surprise There
3 of 11So dumb!
I absolutely loved the Ultimate Warrior, and him going nuts on some bored kids is right around his alley.
What the hell are "Slim Jims" anyway? Like, processed meat product packed like a sausage and filled with preservatives?
Ugh! Glad we don't have that poop in Canada.
Ultimate Warrior, you will never cease to amaze me. I think that was the first commercial I saw of WWE, and it was during Warrior's first Intercontinental championship reign in 1989. What a great time that was!
Another one can be viewed here.
This Was Like Cheese and Macaroni...the Cheesiest!
4 of 11Our athletes still care about their fans??! Someone pass me their hat so I may hurl!
Kevin Nash must have been paid an OBSCENE amount of money to do this. So cheesy!
I remember all of us watching at the time laughing our heads off when that passed.
The new WWE Generation era was all about forgetting the "Huckster" and "Nacho Man" and move on to new people like Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and then-champion big Diesel.
The 90s...who knew?
Bet you wish Savage was here right now, don't you?
SuperBowl Half-Time...get It!
5 of 11They made two versions of this one. Naughty and nice. I like the nice one, which is the one I've featured on this slide. It was played during the 1999 Super Bowl half-time show, labelled "Half-time Heat."
Mankind defeated The Rock using a forklift to win the WWE championship.
What a great night that was.
American football, pro-wrestling AND munchies!
The alternate version is right here.
The Pre-War Under the Belt Antics
6 of 11The Huckster? The Nacho Man?
NO!
I initially laughed back then at this because I hated WCW, and they seemed to do what TNA...sorry...IMPACT Wrestling (my bad...not really) is doing right now: signing all the cast out or former WWE talent.
When you think about it now, it has lost some of its humor as Randy Savage, one of the greatest of all time, recently passed away, and Hulk Hogan is a Hall of Famer.
His match with The Rock at WrestleMania 18 made headlines and was simply awesome!
Mind you, at the time, WWE had better people anyway and needed to win the war.
There is nothing fair or noble in wartime, and pulling put all the stops was the way to go.
They won didn't they?
Let's Go Cena! Jared Sucks!
7 of 11Ha ha ha!
Nice job Champ!
I actually enjoyed this commercial featuring WWE Champion Superman er...John Cena!
Hell, I'd want him at MY birthday party...get him drunk and sign a contract to a match for the title and then BEAT HIM!
No seriously, he's pretty cool when it comes to kids and as a person, I really respect the guy and assume he must be quite the "good sport."
That sandwich looks good, though...I think neither I nor John Cena would play nice if we had to fight for it.
Like I'd win anyway...wait! Don't bet against me!!
I'll show you all!
DIVAS!
8 of 11Sizzling, sultry, beautiful, smart, sexy and powerful!
They are your WWE Divas, and we need to support them and all the hard work they put in.
Kharma may be away for now but with Kelly Kelly and Beth Phoenix among them and ready to do battle— eventually, I suspect—things are going to spice up.
I just love them!
The whole WWE would feel so empty without my girls.
Watch out for one HOT summer 2011, courtesy of: The Divas.
French Canadian Women ARE the Best!
9 of 11The commercials speak for themselves.
Enjoy!
Plenty more where she came from just north across the border to the east (or west) of you.
More Maryse right here.
Won't you come in...the water's fine.
Maryse...Tu es la plus belle de toutes les Divas.
She may look pretty harmless, but this tiger is a black-belt martial artist...beware!
The Best WWE Commercial EVER!
10 of 11I can't stop watching this one, seriously.
Funniest yet silliest thing I have ever seen in my whole life.
Paul Bearer is a remarkable character and the faces he makes, that voice..LOL!
Mr. Fuji...can he be more hilarious?
This was a promo for WrestleMania XI back in 1995.
So well done.
Whomever thought of that is a genius.
If only we could have just one more great Paul Bearer or Mr. Fuji appearance...Please! Just one more.
A Solution?
11 of 11I hope you had a blast like I did trying to find all this cooky stuff.
An idea came to me just now. Why don't they do some nice "WWE" commercial on RAW and Smackdown?
Perhaps even two products "tag-teaming" to make us laugh while we wait in between matches.
I'm sure we'd want to stay tuned in to the channel because if we left, we'd miss it.
The ratings could climb back up and it would be a great time to use the talent we hardly ever seen on TV.
You don't want to put Zack Ryder or Gail Kim in a match? Fine.
Their commercial was the bomb!
I'm just sayin'
