Loss Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 A commercial for the new WCW trading cards. I had the whole set! They were great, but I preferred the first version that had the black border with gold stars. More Flair marketing! Then, we get a rapping commercial to hype the Great American Bash. PN News's voice is so obviously overdubbed, but they may have picked someone even worse than him to do it. WCW I guess felt that every PPV headlined by Flair vs Luger needed rap.

WingedEagle Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Man I had *completely* forgotten about those cards with the black border and gold stars, but can absolutely picture them now. Probably in a box at my parent's apt with all my other sports cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 These cards are lost on me, though as an obsessive collecting sort I'd have likely been all over these if I'd known of them. The production on PN News' video actually isn't terrible, but wow...on the soulness scale he makes Michael Bolton sound like DMX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Never got into wrestling trade cards. Just baseball for me for a one or two year stretch. I collected Topps full year either 89 or 90 I think. Must be somewhere at my parents house. Another crap rap from PN News. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soup23 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Those cards were awesome and I had a good bit of both sets and still do. The WWF ones from around this period were also top notch. Rap sucked and 14 days out, were still promoting Flair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I'll bet a lot of teenage boys made sure they collected the Missy Hyatt card. If that really was PN News rapping, no wonder the fans laughed at the gimmick. If it wasn't, maybe they should have used him; he certainly couldn't have sounded worse than this. At least the WrestleWar '90 rap sounded slightly authentic. This sounded like one of the older Turner executives had his lunch held hostage until he agreed to get in front of a microphone. Could a so-called major card possibly be more poorly promoted than Bash '91 was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 It did amuse me that Missy got top billing right after Luger, Sting and Flair, just no mention from the announcer. A wink is as good as a nudge, right? Eh guvnah? PN News rapping about Ric Flair makes me sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
