Ex-Wrestler Larry Zbyszko Uses Specter of Steroid Deaths in Supplement Ad

Retired wrestling stars often speak openly about the use of steroids in professional wrestling, but I've never seen anything quite like this new commercial that former wrestler Larry Zbyszko has made. In the ad, which is for a muscle-building supplement, Zbyszko stands in a graveyard while urging viewers to purchase the supplement instead of using steroids, lest they end up dead.

"My name is Larry Zbyszko," the ad begins, "and for way too long, I've seen a lot of fellow athletes and friends, guys who should have ended up in a hall of fame, wind up here instead -- thanks to years of steroid abuse."

With that, the camera pulls back, and we see that there are tombstones behind Zbyszko. And then Zbyszko gets into his sales pitch.

"You don't need steroids anymore," Zbyszko says. "Morphoplex Massive. It's going to make you bigger, stronger, healthier. You're going to have size, you're going to have endurance and you're going to have power. Morphoplex Massive."

The commercial is so weird on so many levels, but apparently Zbyszko and the folks at Morphoplex think there are a lot of steroid users out there who need the specter of a graveyard to scare them into a safer alternative. I just think it's creepy.
