This had to have been not long after his gold medal win in Atlanta for the 1996 Olympic Games. I mean for the delivery guy to to shill Angle’s notoriety is an indicator that he was known, not to mention the name card saying “Kurt Angle- Olympic gold medalist.” Anyway, I still remember seeing this commercial on Raw back in 2001 when The Rock used this as a means to embarrass Kurt. I mean the commercial is rather cheesy (No pun intended).
I love the sub-standard CGI in this ad so much.
The ad is creative, and weird- my favorite kind of commercial.
Thanks, E-Squared!
This makes me crave pizza
This actually makes me NOT want to eat pizza. The talking toppings is actually kind of unappetizing.
I remember seeing this commercial when it came out as I live in Pennsylvania and the cable company carries Pittsburgh stations. Still as funny as the day I saw it. I say that in a bad way…
I ate a pizza with a broken neck!
It was certainly an upgrade over the previous Pizza Outlet commercials. I thought the pepper crying after winning the match was a nice tribute to Kurt. Of course that chain went by the wayside and was switched to the more Italian sounding Vocelli pizza in Western PA.
It’s better than a lot of the pizza comercials I’ve seen lately.
The only thing more awkward than this commercial was Angle’s stint as the sports anchor for the Fox 53 10:00 news.
“Kurt, The Rock knows you don’t like pie, but do you like…pizza?”
“Rock, don’t you dar–”
“SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND ROLL THE FOOTAGE!”
What in the BLUE HELL was that?!?!?!?
Let’s just hope Kurt wasn’t the delivery man
