Guest Michael Joel Benoit Posted August 7, 2002 Report Posted August 7, 2002 What do you think is the best wrestling pay-per-view commercial ever? We already did best intro and best video package but what's the best commercial ever? Personally, my two favorites are the Survivor Series 1998:Deadly Game commercial. The one that showed all the wrestlers in the tourament and the words said:"14 men. 1 tourament. To crown a new world wrestling federation champion." Then the song, "deadly game" starts up. Cuz it's a deadly game. Damn! I love that commercial. Does anyone have an old RAW tape with that commercial on it. If you do, send it to me at [email protected] And, I like the Starrcade 1997 commercial. The one that had Sting in the church ruins. Those are mine what's yours?
Guest Si82 Posted August 7, 2002 Report Posted August 7, 2002 I quite liked the one for Summerslam 1998 that was set to "Highway To Hell" by AC/DC. It's probably more because I love the song than the actual commercial as it was just a bunch of clips. As for the "Deadly Game" song. Man did that suck ass, it was bloody awful. I also really hated those dumb "In Your House" commercials, like the one with the aliens in it.
Guest Michael Joel Benoit Posted August 7, 2002 Report Posted August 7, 2002 Remember the orginal In Your House commercial? With the wrestlers literally partying in someone's house?
Guest Austin3164life Posted August 7, 2002 Report Posted August 7, 2002 The buildup commercial to Armageddon 2000 was pretty damn good. I still wonder to this day why the HELL Rikishi was pushed to the ME that year.
Guest Bricks Posted August 7, 2002 Report Posted August 7, 2002 I always got a kick out of the SummerSlam 1996 commercial where they pretended to be Olympians.
Guest The Hollywood Fashion Plate Posted August 7, 2002 Report Posted August 7, 2002 I remember that the SSlam '96 Olympics commercial won an award at some prestigious advertising competition.
Guest converge241 Posted August 7, 2002 Report Posted August 7, 2002 The Armaggeddon 2000 6 man HITC easily. especially considering it didnt look that great on paper. That song is so good and its been used twice since then too. The starrcade buildup had me marking out like crazy so i guess ill remove the unpleasent aftertaste and give that a nod too.
Guest The Electrifyer Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 If theres one thing the WWE can do right, its making promo videos. I really like the Armegeddon promo too, but I also enjoy the Wrestlemania commercial that shows up during that time every year. Its the one that builds up Wrestlemania as a showcase for immortals and the whole world watches.
