[1990-06-02-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] 1-900-909-9900

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Rick Steiner and the Samoan Savage recreate the opening to 2001: A Space Odyssey. To shill a wrestling hotline. Yes.

[Loss]

I loved this TBS narrator guy that was around forever. Rick Steiner and Samoan Savage are featured in this commercial.

Really weird connection between the images we saw and the hotline. Kind of wonder what Sting could have been babbling out every Thursday.

[Kevin Ridge]

WCW putting their wrestlers over as primates. I'm sure they will make a lot of sense when you call up.

[Cox]

"Hey, are you an utter simpleton who wants to hear other dudes talk about wrestling? Call the wrestling hotline!"

[garretta]

I really didn't get the point of this, but at least it was short.

 

Did anybody here call the hotline during this approximate time period? If so, what was it like?

[drew wardlaw]

The bone jumps cuts into a phone instead of a space station! Totally lost my mind for that, so awesome.

[GSR]

‘Since the dawn of time man has desperately sought the ability to communicate. Civilization only increased its desire to get the message across. Today there is the Wrestling Hotline! Call 1-900-909-9900’

 

Rick Steiner draws on a cave wall and the Samoan Savage bashes a log with some bones as if it’s a drum while the above audio plays over it.

I enjoyed the bone turning into the phone. Goofy hotline commercial that works as seemingly intended humor.
