10 Most Embarrassing Product Placements In Wrestling History
1. WWE’s ‘Army Of The Dead’ Silliness
Nothing tops this. Nothing.
The "Zombie Lumberjack" nightmare WWE produced at WrestleMania Backlash 2021 will go down in history as arguably the single worst thing Vinnie Mac has sanctioned on programming (and that's saying a lot). It was a bad idea on paper, and even worse in execution.
Damian Priest vs. The Miz in a lumberjack scrap would've been forgettable enough, but things took a dark turn quickly when several actors and ex-wrestlers (including Scotty 2 Hotty) posed as the undead. At one point, the zombies even devoured Miz, but he was totally fine on TV a few weeks later.
WWE's tie-in with Batista's 'Army Of The Dead' movie on Netflix didn't present the film in a good light or work for pro wrestling. It was a quite horrendous reminder of how appalling some wrestling fare can be when it's cross-promoting for the sake of it.
