10 Cheesiest Music Videos In Wrestling History

1. The Fabulous Ones, "You Dropped A Bomb On Me" (CWA, 1982)

Oh, man.

Modern wrestling fans that are unfamiliar with the Fabulous Ones are in for a treat. In the early 1980's, promoters decided that after decades of exclusively hiring pot-bellied gargoyles, they'd try their hand at appealing to the female demographic. Stevie Keirn and Stan Lane were the most era-specific sex symbols this side of Austin Powers, sporting feathered mullets, deep tans, and thick tangles of chest hair. They walked to the ring in sequined suspenders, top hats and butler gloves, so you know. Ladies.

This video -- which aims to get people to buy a ticket to a wrestling match, remember -- features almost no footage of wrestling. Instead, we are treated to two minutes of the Fabulous Ones frolicking in and around a rural cabin, including such visual feasts as Steve Keirn lounging on a hay-bale and seductively sucking on a straw of wheat grass, and Stan Lane staring dead-eyed at the camera while sipping sherry in a bubble bath. We also get to see them show off their Stupid Sexy Flanders butts in tight 80's jeans and try on cowboy hats. Basically, they fleshed out the dialogue, toned down the homoeroticism a couple notches, and remade this as Brokeback Mountain.
