Back in the 90s, WCW would throw its logo and characters on pretty much anything. They had random hot wheels. They sponsored a car in nascar. I believe they had things like air freshners, cereal, and other random stuff. Well...now WWE has this: shop.wwe.com/wwe-championship-slow-cooker/0099D4C5F9.htmlI can understand the waffle iron because that makes the waffle look like a WWE logo. But this? This? This is just a slow cooker with the WWE belts on it. Why? Why is this a thing?

Back then, all that random WCW merchandise was sold in stores. Crap like this is only available on WWE Shop because no store wants to carry it.

Slow cookers are wonderful products. I couldn't imagine not wanting to have one. I could see this product being a staple for anyone who routinely makes a party or gathering out of some of the larger scale events (WrestleMania, etc.) I could also see this being instrumental to any self-respecting tailgate.
This is no worse, and in fact, far better than that gaudy WWE Championship wristwatch they put out a year or so back so that the least of their audience could sit back and watch the hours of their perpetual virginity drag on into eternity tell the time.

And I was going to comment back here to say "Chances are, if you already have gatherings for Wrestlemania, you have a slow cooker" but then I was going to then say that "I know several people who bought that watch because they are huge fans and have disposable income." At that point I finally understood why they made the slow cooker. Huge fans with disposable income. So, as the TC, I still stand by the fact that WWE is getting ridiculous with its merchandise, but concede that there is probably a market for it.

Even then, branded household products do absolute gangbusters when it comes to localized markets and fandoms. My buddy and I are big Pats fans, right? We both obviously own a few coolers, just by way of owning homes and having kids and such, but you'd better believe if we're headed down to a game, the assorted color Colemans are staying home, and the completely unremarkable but for the Patriots logo branded on the front white Coleman is getting broken out for the occasion. I'd imagine the same train of thought applies here.

Don't forget the toaster. I'm holding out for the Alexa Bliss coffee maker.

It's pretty much the norm for all sports teams to put their logo on anything they can think of and sell it so WWE doing that isn't surprising.

Too bad nobody is clamoring to get anything that WWE puts their name on.

Can we rename this thread 'Worst Wrestling Merch'? Or start a new thread with that name, and just keep updating it when trash merch comes out... Like These:
