Loss Posted November 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 WILD THING. One of the most memorable PPV hype commercials from my childhood. So bad it's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Better than the WrestleRock Rumble, and shorter and to the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Wow, don't know how this is supposed to hype you for the PPV but whatever. I will pretend to think they were making this for comedic value 22 years in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Sounded like Will Smith rapping here. Didn't real fit WCW at the time but they are probably trying to play off the growing popularity of rap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoe Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I always remember this theme and the Starcade 88 True Grit!!!! one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 shoe, I am unhappy with this being compared to the awesome Starrcade 88 theme. I like that the version of rap they used in 1990 had that 1983-4 Run DMC sound -- wrestling has to be at least 6 years out of date. This is rap in a world where Eric B and Rakim, Public Enemy, N.W.A., and Ice Cube's solo stuff never happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_Of_Jericho Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 A sad fact is that, despite not having seen this commercial in over twenty years, I still knew all the words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laney Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Horrible song here, but much like the Clash promo this is so bad it's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'm loving these campy hype videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilTLL Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I honestly can't decide whether or not they knew that "Wild Thing" by Tone Loc existed. Not because they would use it--lord no. But because if they did, they would have gone another direction with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I remember this one like it was yesterday. Maybe I'm strange, but this was too short to offend me, or make any other real impression either. What did you guys expect, a Grammy-winning classic? It's wrestling, for heaven's sake!

drew wardlaw Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 i always thought the rapping was a strange choice for a military themed PPV. Would have preferred some black and white war footage with like power electronics or something over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 'Hey homeboy gather around, some serious stuff is gonna go down. For the Wrestle War daddy, the King of the Ring, all come together and do the Wild Thing. Lex Luger, the Steiner, Nature Boy, Sting, yeah they'll all be doing that Wild Thing. Yeah they'll all be there with something to prove, brimming with intentions to bust a move. It's Pay Per View excitement from T. H. E, for more information call your cable company!' Had someone been watching the Wrestlerock Rumble video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
