This is not the kind of story you expect to write as a pro wrestling journalist, but it happened. WWE’s partnership with Slim Jim has resulted in grand theft auto.
Slim Jim recently reported the theft of its custom Nissan Z, known as “Fast Meat.” This is the same car with WWE’s branding that appeared at Survivor Series.
The Stolen Slim Jim Car
The huge asset in the ongoing partnership with WWE is now gone. The car, while making stops in Chicago for the Survivor Series event and en route to L.A. for a video shoot, is nowhere to be seen. It was last seen in California.
Slim Jim has launched the #FindFastMeat campaign, calling on its fan base, the Long Boi Gang, to help spread awareness and encouraging anyone with information to submit tips to the Los Angeles Police Department at this link.
While some may think this is a clever PR move, the press release that the company sent out seemed very serious.
Whole expressing surprise at the unforeseen demand for their custom car, Ashley Spade, VP & General Manager, Snacks at Conagra Brands, emphasized the brand’s cooperation with authorities to address the situation. She urged the community to report any sightings of “Fast Meat” to the LAPD.
The tricked-out ride, boasting features like a fiery exterior, custom yellow leather interior, LED lighting, and exclusive Slim Jim amenities, was crafted by one of Hollywood’s iconic custom auto shops. So, this is a car that would absolutely attract attention, leaving us to wonder who stole it.
WWE’s History With Slim Jim
Slim Jim and WWE’s partnership has nostalgia written on it at this point. It’s hard to see one of those meaty snacks in any supermarket without imagining Randy Savage jumping through the ceiling for a 30-second promo on protein snacks.
Now, Bianca Belair and LA Knight have taken the helm of those Slim Jim commercials. They still open up those ads with Macho Man’s iconic voiceover. Sadly, the Slim Jim Nissan X “Fast Meat” car is now likely a part of some car collector’s very rare collection.
We’re hoping for “Fast Meat’s” speedy return, and encourage anyone with any information to contact the LAPD with information. It is going to be very hard to hide a car like that in one piece. Let’s hope it doesn’t snap into a chop shop.
