Russell Wilson’s “Dangerwich” is OFF the Subway menu while the second “Cringe” commercial releases
Subway has dropped Russell Wilson’s famous “Dangerwich” from its menu, but they say it’s not after his latest bizarre advert for the sandwich conglomerate.
The fast-food chain has claimed there was no connection between the ad and the sub’s disappearance.
According to TMZ Sports, the sandwich debuted in February and was removed in August — well before the second advert hit the internet.
Twitter users mocked Russell Wilson after one ad or another. Subway has removed its famous “Dangerwich” from its menu, but they say it’s not after the ad
“Subway works with a variety of esports partners and The Vault is the perfect place to showcase your favorite sandwiches,” a spokesperson told TMZ.
“While The Dangerwich sub left The Vault in August to make way for some new, coveted options, don’t worry, The Dangerwich will be back soon!”
NFL free agent Will Compton started the latest pile-on after the ad appeared, writing “Holy s***” on Thursday.
WARNING – BAD LANGUAGE
Wilson is often a viral sensation in the social media world for his unique personality
“Could you put me through to your manager so we can talk @DangeRussWilson?”
The amusingly pathetic campaign prompted Compton to ask to speak to Wilson through his manager, a cheeky reference to recent claims that Seahawks teammates could only reach Wilson that way.
The commercial shows Wilson trying various “dangerous” methods to eat a Subway sandwich dubbed “Dangerwich.”
Wilson is in a race against time to get ready for the New York Jets visit on Sunday
Not surprisingly, most reactions poked fun at Wilson, pointing to his – and Denver’s – disappointing start to a season that many thought they were fighting for the AFC title.
“There’s no way Ciara signed that,” teased one user. Another said: “This guy is a meme before he’s a QB.”
Wilson’s quarterback game wasn’t safe from criticism either, as bettors were urged to “bang on the Jets’ money line” ahead of New York’s trip to Mile High on Sunday.
While one wild user suggested Wilson is as blind in the bag as he was during the Subway commercial.
Some mentioned Wilson’s wife, Ciara, while others expressed admiration and mockery
Wilson has been praised for his willingness to delve into the Persona, which often leads to widespread ridicule.
“This is wonderful,” one fan wrote. “Hators call him cheesy and he doesn’t run away, he leans in.”
Former teammates Richard Sherman and Marshawn Lynch, who both played with Wilson in Seattle, brought to light last week on Sherman’s self-titled podcast how reportedly the star quarterback can be difficult to match.
Lynch told Sherman he wanted to “reach out” to Wilson after his struggles in Denver, to which Sherman cheerfully replied, “Then reach out to him…his manager, his manager.”
Lynch replied: “Man come on n****. If I can’t call you directly, I won’t call you, especially if I went to war with you.
NFL network personality Kyle Brandt recently criticized Wilson for being inauthentic
It’s not the first time this season that Wilson has been criticized for his off-field quirks after NFL personality Kyle Brandt lashed out at the one-time Super Bowl champion after an MNF loss to Indianapolis.
“I think Russell Wilson is one of the least authentic personalities that we have in this league,” Brandt said on NFL Network earlier this month. “I think Russell Wilson is a show off and that doesn’t mean he’s a bad person, I actually think he’s a good person.
“I work the NFL honors, I work the red carpet … Russell Wilson shows up with his sunglasses and his wife and I think they think they’re Jay-Z and they’re Beyonce and they’re going to literally put their hand up and say “no, we don’t talk.”
‘Why?! Because you think you’re so cool? And you’re so famous and you’re so amazing and everything is so perfect? That doesn’t work in the locker room unless you’re really good or a really, really good guy.
“I think he’s trying to be something he’s not,” Brandt continued. “If you make the $245 million you either have to be a really great guy with the dressing room who loves you or you have to be a great player.
“Brady, who makes half what Russell does, is both. Rodgers; MVP. Patrick Mahomes; both. [Josh] everyone; people love him, he’s amazing… Russell Wilson; First of all, the Broncos fanbase has no history with him, they have no allegiance to him.
Wilson arrived at Mile High after an offseason trade with Seattle to much fanfare. Shortly thereafter, he was awarded a five-year, $245 million extension by the three-time Super Bowl champion.
With the team holding a troubling 2-4 record, Wilson is under pressure to recover from a hamstring injury in time for the visit of the revived 4-2 New York Jets.
Although everything seems to be possible with Wilson. “I’m healing fast, it’s glutton blood or something,” he said on Wednesday.
Wilson and the Broncos have failed to inspire this season and hold a disappointing 2-4 record
