If you seen some episodes of wrestling from the 1980's and if they have commercials. It is amazing what people sponsers, still geared towards adults. To think a few later years, the early Monday Night Raw you have toy company commercials, but in the 80's no, even the WWF Saturday Night Main Event had beer commercials. Most notably JCP World Championship Wrestling had commercials for the NRA.

I remember finding old episode of 80's Memphis online and they had chewing tobacco as an advertiser.
I also remember seeing commercials for Vivarin on old WWF shows from the late 80's, mainly Saturday Night's Main Event, not sure if they showed up on Prime Time or the syndicated shows. I don't know if they're still a thing, but they were basically a caffeine/No-Doz type pill marketed to students. Jessie Spano would not approve.

Also, to quote Lord Alfred, "Mista Fah-reeze Fah-reeza Bahhs." |

(Funny part is how little emphasis he puts on the Yikes and Stripes.) |

My favorite Lord Alfred Hayes shill was during his promotional consideration paid for by the following was “Turn snack time into fun time with Mr. Freeze Freezer Bars!”

It was always weird to hear Lord Alfred shilling Krusty's Funhouse.

"Lead the varmints into traps and Krusterize the little stinkers with help from trapmaster Bart" In a similar vein young me had my mind blown hearing Lord Al shill Mega Man X 2. "In Mega Man X 2 you must defeat the X hunters or face total X-tinction. From CAPCOM!" |
