10 Most Embarrassing Product Placements In Wrestling History

10. RoboCop Helps Sting

Taking the p*ss out of this will never get old.

WCW was desperate to look cool and munch into the WWF's market share in 1990. So, then-boss Jim Herd inked a deal to bring RoboCop to pay-per-view at Capital Combat in May of that year. His role? RC would help Sting fend off the Four Horsemen to ripping a cage to pieces as the announcers marvelled in the background.

This was promotion for the RoboCop 2 movie, nothing else. It's probably best-known for Jim Ross going into hype overdrive on comms, and for fleeting thoughts that WCW might actually try to put the character in a match soon thereafter. They didn't, but RoboCop would've been a smoother worker than El Gigante.

At first glance, Herd was right to give this a bash. However, it didn't quite get the reaction from fans that WCW higher-ups had hoped, so the experiment was a bit of a flop. Meh, Ric Flair probs could've carried the thing to a decent match.
