6. Various Wrestlers "The WrestleRock Rumble"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdnB7OLHNwM For football fans of the 1980s, the Superbowl Shuffle was an embarrassing thing to watch. It was the Chicago Bears dancing and...well shuffling to a pretty lousy song. Somehow it earned a Grammy nomination and sold 500,000 copies. What was America thinking? The players took turns singing a line and then doing something silly. Well, The WrestleRock Rumble makes the Superbowl Shuffle seem like Beethovens 5th. In 1986, the AWA was losing steam fast. The WWF was crushing them with their rock n wrestling connection, and owner Verne Gange decided his company should do their best imitation. So, he threw an event called WrestleRock. To promote the big card, the company put together a music video for the hit song "WrestleRock Rumble." It was actually not a hit at all, unless you're counting a hit to the groin, because that's what listening to it felt like. Ever wanted to see Shawn Michaels, Curt Hennig, Scott Hall or a 50 year old Nick Bockwinkle do some rapping? No? Well, how about one of the most feared heels in wrestling history in The Shiek threatening Verne through rhyme? What? You havent? Well here ya go anyway! Feast your ears on this! Youll never rock again. By the time youre done, youll probably be shuffling your way to the nearest toilet for a WrestleRock vomit.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
