10 Incredibly Odd Commercials Starring WWE Stars

5. WWE Invasion Of Sportscenter

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT8Yr9TYoGs Despite the fact that ESPN€™s Sportscenter has slowly become a sensationalized Top Ten highlight show that promotes personalities over actual athletic competition, professional wrestling still gets the shaft from being featured. Back in the mid-90s, before Vince decided to break kayfabe, ESPN did a Sportscenter commercial where their offices were invaded by a slew of performers, including King Kong Bundy, Shawn Michaels, Diesel, and The Undertaker. The wrestlers physically tormented the reporters as a consequence for not airing their highlights during Spo rtscenter each night. For some reason King Kong Bundy was the focal point of the commercial as he was featured in almost every shot and held the most dialogue. It's strange that Shawn Michaels wasn't the featured performer of the commercial, but Dan Patrick steals the show at the end by insisting to a menacing Undertaker that the camera angles and production style are the major roadblocks to featuring the WWE on ESPN.
