Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2005 geez you guys these are just harmless fun, why are you all fighting and freaking out here . although after seeing both commercials in excess of 5 times already im sick of them, hope there ar emore so we dont get this every week (like the same chris masters promo being run every week). and whats up with all the hollywood crap? wm is in downtown LA not hollywood right? trust me I have been to the staples center a couple of times, its not HW. In fact it looks rather ghettoish if you look down the street, which is cool with me since I am orignally from the mean streets of Yonkers,NY) the whole point of this is, enough with the HW crap its Wrestlemania, theyve already done 4 wms in the LA/anaheim area and hardly ever mentioned that (except for the goldust piper holly wood backlot brawl) maybe Im just bitter I ddint buy a ticket for the show? Then again its better off spending 50 bucks on a ppv then a couple of humdred for nosebleed seats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest BobbyWhioux Report post Posted February 9, 2005 Kurt Angle in a Rocky parody. Cast Angle as Apollo Creed, hometown challenge style, some Sly Stallone look alike comes out and comes out fighting, then Angle cheats to turn the tide and utterly destroys him. It's so obvious and simple. Since, like, that's what his Gold Medal Challenge angle has been spoofing since the beginning. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Eddie G and Booker doing Pulp Fiction would free up CARLITO~! (even though he's still injured) to do the Scarface one. They could even spoof the TV edit of it. "Where'd you get that beauty scar, tough guy? Eating Apple?" CARLITO~!: "Yeah, mang." *SPIT* >>>>>>>>>>>> Maybe Randy Orton in a James Bond spoof? With Christian as like Goldfinger and Tomko as Oddjob? And Stacy, of course, as Pussy Galore. "You expect me to talk?" "No, Mr. Orton, I EXPECT YOU TO DIE." >>>>>> Also, the many faces of Mick Foley would work wonders in a Fight Club spoof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Promoter 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2005 WrestleMania goes Hollywood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yet, the wwe probably will have ZERO celebrities to play off this fact Now that's funny! I kind of have to agree that these commercials hasn't riled up any of my friends to watch Mania yet. They are different though and aren't bad(I really hated that stupid Rumble promo though).

Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted February 10, 2005 wonder what will be the next stream of WM commercials Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tjhe CyNick Report post Posted February 10, 2005 I think these commericals have a better chance of drawing in casual fans than anything else the WWE could produce based on the matches at Mania. The only guys who could be on the show that could have a biggerimpact would be Hogan and Austin. But outside of them, I dont see very many casual fans seeing a standrad (well produced) WWE commercial talking about Batista vs HHH or Angle vs HBK or Cena vs JBL and then saying "I have to see Wrestlemania". I'm not saying these commericals 'will' draw in casual viewers, but I think its more likely someone might see a couple of those commericals, and remember back to when wrestling was fun to watch, and think 'maybe I'll check out Wrestlemania'. I'm sure they will run these commericals until NWO is over, and then a week or two after that they will start running the typical wrestling promos pushing matches.

Guest Loss Report post Posted February 11, 2005 This is an attempt to MARKET the event, not ADVERTISE it. Two distinct terms, two distinct goals. The purpose here isn't to sell the PPVs, it's to sell an image. Once the card is finalized, it's up to WWE to advertise the actual line-up. Anyone who's studied even the basics in advertising and marketing should by all rights understand this. To elaborate on the difference, the epic WM commercials of Hogan slamming Andre and Shawn riding into the ring on a rope and that sort of thing are just to sell the image of Wrestlemania as the big show, the "showcase of the immortals". That's marketing. When they do a commercial selling a specific match on the show, which will most likely be coming, that's advertising the show. WWE looks at things like "RAW" and "Smackdown" and "Wrestlemania" and even their wrestlers as company-created brands that they're selling the public. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2005 I haven't seen the other two yet, but happened to catch the commercial in last night's Smackdown ... I thought it was fucking hilarious. Stacy did a better job acting than she's ever done in promo or angle, and Chris, Chris, & Chris were all hilarious. And I really don't get the "but these have nothing to do with Wrestlemania" whiners ... the one that I saw was in the middle of an episode of Smackdown. Methinks that 99% of the viewing audience is already well aware that Wrestlemania is coming up. Plus, ads like these are more likely to catch the eyes - and thus the attention - of a random viewer than if they just showed wrestlers or "divas" in their normal roles or environment. (and I'm guessing that the wrestlers all had a good time doing these spots) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vyce 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2005 Who knows what's in store. Hey man, there's rumours of John Cena starring in a new Predator movie. We're about to see a new wave of Hulk Hogans! The Marine and Goodnight = Hollywood blockbusters WWE > Hollywood Please, I'm so all about the WWE producing a buddy-cop flick starring Jericho & Benoit. I mentioned that in the Smackdown thread. Fuck, I'd watch it. Benoit plays the badass, but by-the-numbers investigator who's paired up with the free-spirited, loud and somewhat-obnoxious hotshot Jericho, who's in it for the glory and is a bit of a loose cannon (but that's forgiven by the brass because he gets the results). The two are assigned to stop the recent crime wave that's hitting the streets. Throw in Christian, while you're at it, as the smarmy, ambitious detective who's always competing for the promotion that Benoit / Jericho deserves, but who turns by the end of the film into a tweener, as he lends some much needed backup to our heroes during the big final fight scene. You can't tell me that this thing wouldn't sell. I've just given the plot to about 39,405 different B-movie action flicks (which this would be), and this would certainly do as well as those do. The money the WWE could get just by selling the rights to Cinemax alone would be worth it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
