Background: At some WCW PPV I don't remember, Tony Schiavone mentions an 800 number you can call to receive an official Hulk Hogan Inflatable Raft (hurry though because supplies are limited). Immediately upon hearing this I half-assedly searched for it on the internet and got nothing. I'm not saying WCW didn't advertise a Hulk Hogan Inflatable Raft, because I saw it with my own two eyes, I just don't believe it ever existed in the first place. -edit- It was Great American Bash 2000, and you had to mail them your Pay Per View receipt from ordering the show oatgan fucked around with this message at 07:20 on Jun 1, 2013 |

 "Hulkster" on the side, I think. Real unexciting.

That's the ad they have on the show. I want an actual picture of the raft or some kind of physical proof it was a real product. Also worth pointing out that the contest ends on 9/11.  can't it be both? oatgan fucked around with this message at 07:46 on Jun 1, 2013 |

oldpainless posted:Try to track down the show where Nash impersonates Vince McMahon. Gosh, that was awful, barely even redeemable in a "wacky Outsiders hijinks" sort of way due to the commentators giggling and saying what a convincing impersonation it was. With all the backstage in-jokes, Jeff Jarrett praise and unnecessary WWF references, I take it this was one of Russo's early WCW shows? I know he left WWF in October of that year and began his WCW run with that title tournament. Not that WCW making bizarre WWF references was exclusively a Russo trait of course. Thanks for the recommendations guys. I watched one of the funerals a while ago (Luger's? Goldberg's?) where I believe Steiner or someone spat in the coffin or something, to the crowd's deafening silence while the commentators acted outraged. Amusing!

Nobody has asked the real important question about the Hulk Hogan raft: Does it have a meat drawer?

The raft looks like something WCW would have leftover from their merchandise catalog during Hogan's first face run in 94-95.

Now I have to wonder just how many of those they actually sent out, and silently hope that there's some forgotten warehouse full of Hulkster rafts waiting to be rediscovered somewhere. (it's next to the warehouse full of ICOPRO that Vince still can't get rid of)
