Jericholic82 Posted February 7, 2005 Report 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.

The C Man Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 This thread wins the award for people getting sand in their vagina's over absolutely nothing. I wonder what that feels like.
Modern Man's Hustle Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Did anyone else crack the fuck up when Flair walked out dragging a donkey screaming about how great HHH is? That's comedy, right there.
Guest Nater Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 This commercial perflectly mirrored an episode of Raw. HHH talking at length about something nobody cares about. Zero reaction. Flair supporing The Champ, wooo!
Modern Man's Hustle Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Maybe that's why it's funny.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Show in Godzilla. Or as King Kong with Torrie. If they wanted to do a King Kong spoof, the obvious person to do it would be.. King Kong Bundy
CanadianChick Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 This thread wins the award for people getting sand in their vagina's over absolutely nothing. I wonder what that feels like. Very uncomfortable. Too bad RVD is injured. Half Baked would be perfect!
Guest BobbyWhioux Posted February 9, 2005 Report 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.
Promoter Posted February 10, 2005 Report 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 Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 wonder what will be the next stream of WM commercials
Guest Tjhe CyNick Posted February 10, 2005 Report 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 The Shadow Behind You Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 Maybe...then they see the price tag and go "Or I'll just watch Desperate Housewives instead".
BHK Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 Both the Eugene and HHH commericals are now on the WWE.com main page.

Guest BobbyWhioux Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 EDIT: Nevermind. My people tell me they already did it with others. Fuck 'em. Shoulda used Trish.
NYU Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Great idea! I hope WWE is smart enough to do a Basic Instinct spoof.

strummer Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 wwe.com is labeling Stacy the star of the "Basic Instinct" Spoof. Lame. It was all Benoit, Jericho, and Christian! Politics!
Guest Deadbolt Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 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
Guest BobbyWhioux Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Okay, I take it back. Flying colors for Stacy in the Basic Instinct spoof. Props for Chris, Chris, and Christian as well. Maybe Trish can be Pussy Galore in a Bond spoof then. Definitely need to save Scarface for CARLITO~! though.
spman Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 JBL as Hogan and Orlando or Booker T as Zeus would be comedy gold I tells ya!
Guest Loss Posted February 11, 2005 Report 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.
nl5xsk1 Posted February 11, 2005 Report 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)
Guest exoticasian30 Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 File uploaded. Enjoy. http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1K24OGR...972B8DOMM974T3K Thanks for the file. Absoloute classic.
Vyce Posted February 12, 2005 Report 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!
