[1990-02-24-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Sting and the Road Warriors wear ROOS

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

15 second commercials that are pretty OTT and hilarious.

I actually enjoyed the Roadies destroying a car as well as Hawk's calm, casual answer to the voiceover.

Stings dancing was so bad that I was laughing through the Road Warrior one which of the three was the best actual commercial.

You know, if I were a shoe company, I'm not sure I'd want to run commercials touting your shoes with a guy who tore up his knee climbing a cage.

[Laney]

Funny commercials here with goofy concepts. I don't seem to recall Roos at all. Basically they seem to be shoes with pockets. Seems kind of pointless to me.

[garretta]

The wrestlers were fine in these, but who the hell approved the announcer's copy? By the time I finished trying (and failing) to make sense out of it, the commercials were over.

 

Anyone want to admit to wearing these things? (I didn't, and I don't know that I would admit it if I did, even on an Internet message board).

Hawk saying "Roos" got me really good. Them smashing some car in the dead of night, and a deadpan answer to a question about shoes. Great commercial.

Sting is wearing his ‘Roos’ whilst surfing and carrying a gold boombox! Oh no he’s not, he’s on some indoor simulator instead. A blow up shark tries to attack Sting but he swipes it away.

 

The Road Warriors are in a junkyard taking sledgehammers to cars whilst wearing their ‘Roos. This was the best of the three adverts, not really that cartoonish and nowhere near as embarrassing.

ROOS are still around, apparently: https://www.kangaroos.com/us.aspx.
