Because there have been some doozies over the years. I came to detest truth.com, Stacker 2 (was there ever a stacker 1?), Starburst, and Enzyte thanks to wrestling back in the 90’s and 2000’s. But there are also any number of hahalarious old school commercials if wrestlers endorsing whatever local car dealership or fast food place.So what are your picks for best of he worst?

Does Stacker 2 even exists anymore?
Also Castrol GX just because it screams motorsports, not wrestling

The Lorilard Tobacco company. Only cause their ads were SO annoying.
On WCW, because it was still very much a TBS thing, you got odd commercials like the Loretta Lynn gospel album every other ad break.

Morphoplex.They had ads with Larry Zbyszko in a dead wrestler graveyard saying if they just used the product they’d be alive like him.Jackie Gayda & Traci Brooks not being able to keep their pants on.

The Stacker 2 commercials with Kane were pretty good at least. How about "THIS IS HOW WE DO IT!" and "I Want your Bod"? Also, when it comes to TNA, for some reason, they had an ad for Gretchen Wilson's "All Jacked Up" album on the ring skirt. I actually LIKE GW, and felt that was distracting.

The whole Subway sponsorship which also lead to Jared from Subway having a small storyline did not age well for WWE in the slightest.

No Way Out 2000 was sponsored by PhoneFree.com - a dot-com startup that tried to offer free phone calls from PCs to Phones. It had to start charging for calls shortly after this, and then went out of business shortly after that.

Not the worst but in the early 2000s Squaresoft/Enix would occasionally be sponsors. Final Fantasy 10 was the 2002 Rumble sponsor and im certain 10-2 and Kingdom Heart were sponsors during that same period.

Was listening to an old podcast a while back. They open talking about how they can’t use their Bill Cosby tickets and move into how much pussy Jared probably got. Was well before anything went down. Just unfortunate for them looking back.

Didn't 1-800-COLLECT sponsor a lot of WWF shows back in the Attitude Era?

Remember when TNA's ring was covered in a massive logo for 6 Hour Power Then they moved on from that to Direct Auto Insurance, which still kinda made them look second-rate at the time.
