#1. WWE cologne

Smells like ATTITUDE

Not only was this a thing, but it still is a thing. Yes, there is still WWE cologne.

Believe it or not, the old WWF didn't sell bottles of Rick Martel's "Arrogance" cologne "The Model" would spray with one of those pest control things the guy in Donkey Kong 3 used. I'm sure it has a name. Considering it was used to "blind" Jake "The Snake" Roberts before WrestleMania VII, that was probably for the best.

WWF finally got into the business of making you smell weird around 1998 with WWF Attitude cologne - as seen in the advert shown above. If you're wondering how it smelled, Reddit user /u/Eddiemagic shared this anecdote on a post about this very product.

"I had this. It was terrible. I sprayed it on a love note I was giving this girl I was trying to get with in High School and she was like if you smell like that I never want to be around you again." -/u/Eddiemagic

Nowadays, WWE sticks to selling body spray through their Tapout brand, with John Cena put front and center on the bottle. Which makes sense in a way. It's not like you want to put out a cologne that implies it makes you smell like The Undertaker or something. Or maybe you do, I dunno.

They did make a "Stone Cold" Steve Austin cologne, though. So there's that.
