Hulk Hogan, one of my childhood heroes, like many other children of the 80′s, has long been a cornerstone of Wrestling entertainment. The other night while I was watching re-runs of The Office, I could not believe what my eyes were seeing when Terry Hulk Hogan came sliding across the screen in a Rent-A-Center commercial. Yes!! I exclaimed, Hulk is back! I have always loved what Hulk has stood for – America, Freedom, & Kindness (well, except when he was with NWO – bleccchh).

I think the combination of Hulk Hogan and Troy Aikman is perfect! This commercial is pretty funny, once you get past the fact that two superheroes are peddling rent to own furnishings. Troy, an American football star – past quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, delivers his pitch with no-hype and little excitement. Add some Hulk Hogan in the mix and you have instant excitement and over the top delivery!

The two opposite poles make for a light-hearted, funny combination. Cheers for the marketing department over at Rent A Center! While a regular commercial from them may go unnoticed, you can’t ignore Hulk Hogan.

I say more companies should have Hulk Hogan as their spokesperson. At least you will pay attention, BROTHER!
