10 MORE Strange Times Wrestlers Appeared In Commercials

1. Hulk Hogan Sells EVERYTHING

Hulk Hogan
WWE

He was known as 'The Immortal' Hulk Hogan, but surely, the 'F*cking Shameless' Hulk Hogan was a more apt nickname. The man has put his name on everything. He is the Krusty the Clown of real life.

He flogged 10-10-2020, a sort of phone system loophole, alongside ALF. He and the alien actually have something in common; in the finale of the sitcom, 'Consider Me Gone', the little feller is captured by a nefarious arm of the military and...that's it. The beloved talking alien was f*cked. Forever. His co-star's career ended on a far bleaker note.

Hogan also sold Honey-Nut Cheerios to the kids in 1984, in an advert in which he intimidated the mascot. "There's no way a little dude like you is gonna change my ways!"

Well, he wasn't one for apologising, was he?

He also hawked 1-800-LoanMart in which he played a psychiatrist. He was great at psychology, but that's a different thing altogether. If you tried telling Hogan about your personal problems, he'd wonder why you weren't talking about him after, like, five seconds.

He sold Pummax power gel, too. "Nothing's permanent!" he says, and his drawing power in 2002 would very much agree.
