OOOO YEAH! SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM!
 
Just a few questions. When did Savage start shilling Slim Jims? Was it when he was in WCW or WWF? Did he ever mention it on-air? And when did he stop promoting them?

I know it def. started when he was in WWF...carried over to his WCW days I believe. Not sure when he stopped

Around 1993-ish, so WWE

He stopped when they figured that consumers would rather listen to a man in a giant Slim Jim costume than Randy Savage.

I think the slim jim man was more effective.

I was always very disappointed when my slim jims didn't snap, so much as have the ability to be tied in a knot. Where is my class action lawsuit against big meat stick?

LOL, I love this guy. :y: ^ ^ ^

Yeah, it was in the early 1990's; when he was in WWF.

I believe originally, Ultimate Warrior did the Slim Jim ads, but they switched to Savage - as I believe he had more of the personality they were trying to project. Also, Warrior was on his way out, so they took on a guy staying.

He kept doing it until basically WCW closed. I have a bunch of Randy Savage Slim Jim promo items and materials, and I've got stuff with him and Gorgeous George on it from c. 2000 - 2001, so that's basically when it stopped fully I believe.

Me myself, I thought Savage was a great spokesperson for them; and believe it or not, he's actually quite well known internationally through pop culture for the Slim Jim ads, sometimes moreso than his wrestling career. Crazy.

Interesting. They basically went with the less-insane one. :y:
