[1992-02-15-WWF-Superstars] Hulk Hogan Right Guard commercial

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Anything less would be uncivilized.

This really was a great commercial.

I've said it before, but it's worth repeating. Typical, for the time, WWF goofiness, but not nearly as goofy and corny as Austin and D'Lo Brown doing 1-800-Collect.

CLASSIC spot from my childhood. All I knew is I wanted Right Guard and I wanted to paint on the beach because it meant I could headline wrestlemania.

I think I just wet myself. "Anything less would be uncivilized" PRICELESS

Another point of difference between Hogan and the Warrior, as if this talking point needed repeating. No other major WWF babyface could have pulled this commercial off until Austin and the Rock came around.

Not only that, Pete, but when do you even see a major advertiser like Gillette even having anything to do with wrestling other than guys like Hogan?

 

Say what you will about Hogan the actor, but he has enough ability to play against type and make it work, if only for thirty seconds at a time. This was much better than Warrior's Slim Jim commercial, or any of Savage's for that matter.

I had totally forgotten about this!  This was fun to see again, it brought back the memories from seeing this as a kid.
