2: Robocop
Trending
Yeah, that isn’t a typo. Robocop himself appeared in a WCW storyline in the early ‘90s.
WCW always had a thing for crossover promotion. Whether it be Battle Bowl or a Chucky movie, WCW loved cross promotion.
On May 19, 1990, WCW held their first and only Capital Combat: The Return Of Robocop PPV in Washington DC to help promote the release of Robocop 2. During the show, Robocop made a triumphant and decisive appearance as he helped Sting escape the clutches of The Four Horsemen.
The Horsemen had locked Sting inside a cage at ringside when we saw Robocop walk (really slowly) out to Sting’s aid. He walked up to Sting’s cage, which was clearly gimmicked, and tore the door off its hinges before chasing the Horsemen away.
I don’t know what was worse about this segment – Sting needing help from Robocop or a legit tough guy like Arn Anderson having to look scared of Robocop.
