10 WWE Attitude Era Moments You Totally Don't Remember
2. The Absolutely Abysmal WWF Cologne Advert
Did you know that, in 1998, the WWF sold its own range of cologne and eau de toilette?
The promotion was so white-hot that it could sell any awld sh*te - case in point, the entire undercard for about half of every TV show before January 2000 - and they could make massive money by simply slapping the scratch logo on something, anything. They even sold WWF-branded condoms. Mercifully, no adverts were produced for those - but a hepcat-soundtracked advert was produced for the line of scented products.
The jazzy beat poet's song was horrendous. It went like this:
Attitude.
At-ti-tude.
You take a pound-full of pain, add a touch of disdain, then throw in some 'Taker and Kane.
Do you smell what the Rock is wearing? Asked the man with no sense of smell.
He didn't capture the feel of the times, man; if he had, it would have went a little something...like this...
Attitude.
At-ti-tude.
You take some sh*t Russo bits, you demean some clits, and make Lawler do an O-face to big t*ts.
What would Attitude Era aftershave smell like?
Looking at the absolute state of the average college campus crowd in 1998: body odour, warm sh*tty American lager, and ejaculate.
