Wrestling in the mainstream

Not sure if this will be of any interest. Was looking for footage on Youtube when wrestling has crossed over to the mainstream. Hogan in 2012 is a master manipulator of the TV interview but it wasn't always that way. His promotion of Wrestlemania I by legit choking out Richard Belzer and his denial of steroids were before he found his patter. Ones that stand out to me are Hogans Japanese air conditioning unit advert and debt consilidation ad, Vader on Kuwaiti tv, Ziggler singing I'm 2 sexy, Kevin Nash in Sabrina and the teenage witch, Cena in Hannah Montanna, Randy Savage on Singapore tv is just plain wierd and I never knew Bam Bam did a Slim Jims ad or that today's wrestlers really get a kick out of doing the weather. There is still more I want to find I know it exists becuase i have it on VHS. The Bulldog before One Night Only on Live 6 with Emma Forbes talking about dedicating the match to his disabled sister, Jim Duggan in Harry and the Hendersons, Tatanka on live and kicking, Duggan on Going Live. Here is what i have so far.

You have Hulk Hogan in Rocky 3 in the 90's but that was the 80's in fact I'm pretty sure that was before he was even in WWE (well WWF at the time)

Yeah alot of dates are very wrong call it a rough draft.

 

This website list wrestlers and their tv appearances here

Fantastic list - really well put together. One minor thing, the 'Unknown sitcom' King Kong Bundy is listed for is 'Married with Children', it was actually his second appearance in the show, his first being in the 80s as 'Uncle Irwin - Married with Children - All in the Family

 

Bit of 'Married..' Trivia - The Bundys were named so after King Kong Bundy, as the writers were fans. In the first series, one of the characters surname was Ventura too, I believe that was also taken from Jesse Ventura.

 

GLOW wrestlers also appeared on Married, but not sure if they would really count....
