I'm watching Clash of the Champions 35 right now, and while it makes sense they left in the wrestling related commercials, this would be the first time I've seen the show itself contain actual old commercials. After the US title match there are commercials for Motel 6, Tootsie Rolls, and Arm & Hammer toothpaste. I've watched a few other Clashes, and this is the only time I've seen this.
Update: The rest of the show had the more standard wrestling based commercials. The Public Enemy did one for the WCW backpack. Those two could've had a second career as infomercial hosts. WCW didn't use them very often, but they were hilariously perfect in the role as hype men.
Update 2: After the Dinner & A Movie nWo segment, they go to more regular commercials. Hand soap, Eagle One polish, and Slim Jim's (v/o by Savage but he's not physically in it).

I saw an ad once during Raw 99 of Triple H and Chyna promoting Stridex. I remember this like it was yesterday what a time to be alive to have 2 larger than life wwf superstars that know all to well the perils of acne shilling a top flight medicated pad it was almost too much for young me to handle.Plus back then I only watched and purchased things based on wwf's endorsement so I was eating my weight in Beefaroni whilst watching Pacific Blue and Nash Bridges and applying stridex to my backne. |

I like them keeping in those ads because it helps keep the overall "feel" of a show. If im watching a Nitro from 1996 for example, i want it to feel like an actual broadcast from 1996.

I swear there was a Karate Fighters commercial on something too. I don't understand it though, why would the master tapes have commercials in them?

I loved the old Hot Pockets commercials they would run during Nitro.

everyone loves old commercials. scientific fact. Yeah I hate the modern ones for the Tapout, Warcraft, diamonds and whatever other crap they advertise on the network (or during Raw) to the point it makes me question if I really want to carry on subscribing. However I'm OK with old ones in old episodes and am fond of them in general. Only slight issue is I never saw many of the old American adverts in England so wish they had an atmosfear one in their place. |

Does the 2-24-97 Raw still have the Leonard/Camacho promo? My subscription expired so I can't check.
