20 Stupidest Products WCW Ever Licensed

20. Macho Man Car Air Freshener

Nothing screams €˜Ooooooohhhh yea€™ like a cheap cardboard cut-out of a roided up Macho Man and his former porn star valet Gorgeous George, staring at you as they hang from your rear view mirror. We are Macho Man fans like just about everyone else, but for the life of us we have never needed to see him stare into our eyes through his insect eye sunglasses as we negotiate traffic on the motorway. This one is puzzling for a couple of reasons. Firstly you have to wonder who the target market for this was. This seems like the kind of thing that would be popular amongst a target audience far too young to drive, or for adults who adore all things kitschy and ironic €“ a group that surely couldn€™t have been one of the main targets when there were plenty of actual marks who would pay for decent merchandise. Secondly though, why on earth would you want to imply that your car smells like Macho Man and Gorgeous George? What would that even smell like? Perfume, tanning oil, sweat, and shame? Macho Man is known for his gravelly voice and exceptional wrestling €“ not his enticing aroma. To the surprise of probably nobody outside of WCW these weren€™t exactly a huge seller and even though it has been over thirteen years since WCW folded, these are still available online. And if Macho Man isn€™t your cup of tea, you can also get Sting, Goldberg, and everyone€™s favourite wrestler in 2014, Big Sexy Kevin Nash. As stupid as this idea was though, this wouldn€™t be WCW€™s only foray into the business of aromas€
