man forman is getting the smackdown with such comedy classic lines as

'Hogan droppin that Ether Legdrop on George Foreman's Grill' from poster Triple M

nice anecdote

- In an interview on the Tonight Show, Hogan claimed that the George Foreman grill was originally offered to him, but he failed to respond in time, thus allowing Foreman to use his endorsement. This was backed up by an episode of Hogan Knows Best, in which his wife Linda and the family are worried about Hogan’s wrestling career and plead with him to take up a career in marketing.
Hulk explains about turning down the Foreman grill, and his choice to invest in a shake-mixer instead, saying that whenever he thinks about investing in something “big”, he thinks about what happened with the grill and the shake-mixer. - Wikipedia


Oh the irony!
