The 8 Best Wrestling Commercials of the 1990's

As we've shown you multiple times before, the 1990's had more than its share of funny commercials. Today, we thought it would be a good idea to look back at one particular genre of funny 1990s commercials - ones that feature professional wrestlers. So here is our pick for the 8 Best Wrestling Commercials of the 1990's...



8. WWF Action Figures
Back before Jesse "The Body" Ventura was a politician, he was paying the bills by doing voiceover work on commercials for some really lame-looking WWF action figures.



7. 1998 Royal Rumble Commercial
This commercial for the Royal Rumble features a bunch of adults dressed up for a classy evening who then wind up beating the crap out of each other when they watch the Royal Rumble. O...k.



6. Nintendo's Wrestlemania Game
This commercial for Nintendo's Wrestlemania game reminds us of two things - how bad video game graphics used to be and how annoying commercial kids are.



5. Mean Gene Gays It Up For Toys'R Us
This commercial about how you can buy WWF merchandise at Toys 'R Us is notable because of how host Mean Gene Okerlund drops a lot of pseudo-gay comments about the products including comments like "How'd you like to hug the Ultimate Warrior?," and "How'd you like to bonk Hulk Hogan?"



4. Ultimate Warrior Snaps Into A Slim Jim
This commercial might be for a fake meat product, but it could just as well be for steroids. Or cocaine.



3. The Hitman For Humpty’s Omelettes
While Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Savage were busy doing national commercials and making bank, apparently Brett "The Hitman" Hart was taking whatever commercials he could get - including this one for whatever the hell Humpty's Omelettes is.



2. Sting Wrestles A Kid For Sprite
Not only is this clip notable because it's pretty funny, but we're also pretty sure that the kid in it is the same kid that stars in the movie Almost Famous.



1. WWF Sportscenter Commercial

ESPN may not cover wrestling, but that didn't stop them from putting a bunch of wrestlers into this fantastic commercial.
