Hey guys,
Just curious if anyone possibly has or remembers this particular rare WWF Hasbro Commercial from 1993 because I remember it vividly.
Virgil is in it, as is The Repo Man.
Virgil's figure is shown and he's talking about Skinner's figure and he says "There's more than 1 way to skin that rat" and then The Repo Man appears with his figure and says "I'm so possessed, I repossess".
I also believe Macho Man Randy Savage shows his series #4 figure with the jacket to close out the commercial.
I swear, I've got this recorded on tape but to get at the actual tape is going to be a serious pain because it's buried in a bin in storage.
Does anyone else recall this commercial?? I cannot find it online anywhere because it's that Rare!!
If anyone else has it, please post it!! Thanks!!

If Repo Man is in it, then I need to see it !
I’ve never actually heard of this particular commercial, so I’m very interested in seeing this as well 👍🏻

I've seen this commercial. I'm sure ive seen it uploaded on instagram. If I come across it I'll update everyone. Pretty sure the skinner figure has a brown coat on in the commercial too.

I would love to see it if it's real! I thought the last series to show up in commercial was Series 5.

The last one I remember seeing was of series 5, Randy Savage was still the wrestler talking in the commercial. The figures they talked about were His, Virgil's, Hogan's, and IRS', they also should the Model's and Skinner's. But no one else talked. Here is the link to that video on youtube:

I could never get savage to flip and fly off the ropes like that. Mine would either just fall flat, miss the target or slip off the ropes and scuff the paint. Boo urns.

You just had to use the ropes as a springboard! Your fingers could very easily get in the way though. Jumpers still suck, their action didn't lend to the rope trick at all (you didn't compress them, you only used the rope's elasticity itself).

How are people not finding it? I have just typed "wwf hasbro advert" into google and its the first thing that comes up under videos along with the other adverts. Instagram is great for finding these kind of ad's and classic footage as they are constantly showing in peoples feeds

Also, could be that most of us in the US would never think to search "advert" since that's not in our vocabulary and would instead go with "commercial," which makes me womder if the US and UK ads were any different.

My mistake just watched them and its not the one I thought it was. Im sure it used to be on there though. Good point about the vocab being different too
