Jim "The Hammer" Shapiro video # 1

The first of 5 Shapiro vids found here: http://shark.armchair.mb.ca/scissors/rochester.html

This is an early ad, featuring a calmer Jim, if you will.

He was a lawyer from Rochester, NY. His ads were widely seen throughout the eastern United States and Canada in the early to mid 90's. There is a good write-up on him at Wikipedia that explains a lot (found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Shapiro).

Is he going to face Randy "Mach Man" Savage for the Intercontinental Championship inside of a steel cage at the Buffalo Aud this Sunday?

[Ripplin]

I'd pay good money to see that. :p Dunno who I'd root for, though!

OMG! I live in Ottawa, Canada, and we used to get some channels from Rochester, NY. I remember seeing these ads and they always cracked me up. I miss them!

Jim's relatively mild mannered at this point. Then the method acting kicks in.
