WCW was always good and ahead of WWF in many categories for a very long time but when wrestling themes on CD was considered, that wasn't one of'em unfortunately :roll:

It's still very bitter sweet how they just cut them off on the WCW :roll:

Yes, nWo & Goldberg were dominant in many ways, no doubt about that :!:

Woe, that was an older Wal-Mart commercial from 1979, 45 years ago this year :shock:

That was really cool PB

Okay, so you saw the little Abraxas, Guardian Of The Universe special I did in the Movie Trailers Topic...well here's this part of that quoted showcase which this is the main part and it's a special one, this was arguably the golden gem of My entire collection & showcase. Beast Record's Slammin' Wrestling Hits. I saw the album and I wanted it really bad in 1999, 25 years ago this year...in fact I wanted it as much as WWF Full Metal the Album :shock:

Here's a brief moment of My grand showcase

The Beast Records of Simitar Entertainment gave their own crack at re-performing wrestling themes from the current Attitude Era...it was called Slammin' Wrestling Hits I saw it at Our local CD store in South County which I will show you the location in a little while. I saw this over there and My Mom got it for Me, they only had the one and it was Mine I had no idea how it was going to be, is all i know I wanted and knew I would regret it if I had skipped it. It has a very good selection. It's done via Midi-like synthesizers tech, guitars among other electronic musical devices that has a 90s techno sound plus a whistling/crowd like noise/technique in the background that seriously reminds Me of Mike Pizza's Strike Zone for the N64 which is one of My favorite Baseball Video Games of ever, of all-time. The Front & Back covers really caught My attention and I would think it would have most wrestling fans too or even made new ones which I hope it did

Okay, here' the only commercial I could find of it, honestly I'm surprised that they made one

That's something. Didn't know that existed. Interesting selection of themes.

Yes, you can go see My showcase in My Vintage Wrestling Collection for a refresh, I even posted the cool place I got it from which was the CD Warehouse in South County

It was rare then and I'm sure it is even more so now :shock:

Yes, it has a good selection of themes.

I actually never seen that MTV Big Show Commercial with Hulk Hogan before :shock:

That was filmed really rad. He says about his new movie...that was No Holds Barred so this was 1989, 35 years ago this year :shock:

In fact he's dressed there just like was in the film, it's the same red & black outfit. Weird that 6 years later in 1995 he would fight a debuting Giant that soon would be known as "The Big Show" :batconfused:

IMPORTANT NOTE: I posted a big reply to your TRU trip. Take your time to read it and there's questions to be answered there too PB

Holy crap, I just now remembered that I have 2 Steak 'n Shake commercials that I was saving for the 4th of July...I almost forgot about that than I was saving them for months :shock:

Well, it's still July so I'm going to post'em and with all of this Trump stuff going on you couldn't ask for a better time anyway

I'm going to post one today and the other tomorrow so here's the first one from the early/mid 2000s and it was on Fox Sports Midwest when Burger joints were really creative

I'd never seen that commercial before but I did think he looked like the No Holds Barred character.

by **BrandonDaCollector** » Sun Jul 21, 2024 2:44 am

Yes, he was basically Rip Thomas :shock:

Man, that Hulk Hogan Rock 'n' Wrestling was very short but very sweet

That was a good Nestle Nesquik there from 1999, 25 years this year :shock:

These were still times when you'd get some good toys & prizes in the cereal and stuff and Nesquik many times had good offers too

Okay, here's the other Steak 'n Shake commercial that I saved for Fourth of July time. This too was from the early/mid 2000s most likely on Fox Sports Midwest

When I re-saw these that I forgot to post, this was in My feed that I didn't post before. I recall this like it was last week. In fact I believe this was the first time I ever had/tried Black Peppercorn Bacon and it was so good. This was during the good times of Steak 'n Shake when they and other Burger Joints were very creative. Here's the very short commercial
