Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted March 17, 2021 Awards Moderator Posted March 17, 2021 I saw this for the first time today. I don't have a wider point to make but I need to discuss this 14 second public service announcement. Was it effective? Are there kids out there that saw this and were persuaded never to try a cigarette? Why does Warrior start with an entire pack shoved in his mouth? What are the bad habits he has that help him survive? Why is he wearing his title belt during this? Would modern WWE be improved by showing this at least once every half an hour during Raw? How many times have you watched this today? I may have played it several more times than I needed to understand Warrior's message. DON'T SMOKE

CL Punk Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Well, it makes more sense than any of his other promos.

Paid Members mim731 Posted March 18, 2021 Paid Members Posted March 18, 2021 On a similar note, I always enjoyed the PSAs they got The Undertaker to do: And my favourite, which is so incredibly weird. How long was he sitting behind her in the dark?
