    7 Professional Wrestlers Who Unsuccessfully Tried Becoming Musicians

    by Jeff & Patrick November 04, 2009


    There comes a time in a professional wrestler's career when cutting a mean promo on the Ultimate Warrior isn't creatively satisfying. They need more. They need to write and perform terrible songs for people to laugh at. Maybe they overestimated their talents, or perhaps they took a few too many chairshots to the head. Regardless, here are seven grapplers who picked up way more than they could body slam.


    Chris Jericho, Fozzy



    We know it's hard to believe that the man who beat the shit out of Shawn Michaels at Nassau Coliseum last year couldn't dominate any medium he chose, but somehow Chris Jericho's metal band Fozzy was unable to pin the Billboard charts into submission. Fozzy suffered from a revolving door of guitarists and drummers who would drop out, presumably unhappy backing up a singer who couldn't even beat Rey Mysterio, Jr., in a no disqualification match (psh!). If Jericho ran to music to escape the violence of professional wrestling, he should have chosen a genre other than death metal: at a 2006 concert, Fozzy's set was cut short after their opener threw a bottle at a teenage girl in the audience. Luckily, the concert's referee was momentarily distracted.


    John Cena, "You Can't See Me"



    Professional wrestlers need a gimmick. Shawn Michaels was vain. The Undertaker was an undead warrior who drew mystical power from an urn. Stone Cold was a wife-beating alcoholic. John Cena, arguably the most popular wrestler in the WWE today, intimidates his opponents with freestyle rap. It's a natural fit -- becoming a champion in pro-wrestling isn't about who has the best piledriver, it's about declaring yourself the best and challenging the sexuality of your opponents. After Cena recorded his own theme song, a rap about rap called "Basic Thuganmoics," the WWE decided there would be no more pussyfooting around and it was time to produce an entire album. The Doctor of Thuganmoics named his first record after his outright lie of a slogan, "You Can't See Me." It debuted at #15 on the Billboard Chart and remains the most commercially successful album by a pro-wrestler. Whether this real-world accomplishment is more impressive than his seven world championships and two tag-team championships, we'll let you decide.
