"Slim Jim values integrity and respect in all of our partnerships. Given the recent disturbing allegations against Vince McMahon, at this time we've decided to pause our promotional activities with WWE This decision reflects our commitment to our brand values and responsibility to our community.

We will continue to monitor the situation and base our future engagements on our values and what’s best for our brand"

We need more to come forward about this too

Definitely, but at least Slim Jim will hurt them big time (it's their biggest sponsor since last summer.)

Yeah, they were a big Rumble Sponsor too, doing things with New Day about looking for their car. It sucks for the people involved with the Slim Jim campaigns.

If I'm Tony Khan I pick up the phone and have WBDiscovery's marketing see if they want to sponsor AEW, they may not, but I'd try it.

Slim Jim commercials featuring Black Machismo is something I never knew I needed.

id imagine there will be a lot of piped in cheers and crowd muting this weekend

These are the same people that bowed down to Vince AFTER he’d been officially outed as a sex pest last year. Don’t underestimate their ability to look past this stuff so that they can be part of the “universe”.

@GeekFTW Damn. How badly do you have to screw up to have Slim Jim say “I’m out!”?

Who thought in 2024 that Slim Jim would be the corporate moral compass lol

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Most people don't know this but Slim Jim's are actually made with 95% integrity and respect. The remaining 5% is beef-ish.
