10 Cheesiest Music Videos In Wrestling History

6. Bret Hart, "You Start The Fire" (WWE, 1996)

Bret Hart was a guy who was really good at wrestling. If you wanted people who like wrestling to like Bret Hart, you put him in the ring and ask him to wrestle, and they'll like it. It's a pretty basic equation. Bret even begins this video with a voiceover, explaining his passion for wrestling. Naturally, the video contains no zero percent wrestling.

It sounds suspiciously like serial music recycler Jim Johnston just added a bunch of tired cliches about burning souls to Ken Shamrock's theme. As the lyrics blare about FIERY PASSION and DRIPPIN' WITH DESIRE we are treated to footage of Bret Hart completing mundane tasks. Wrapping a knee in athletic tape! Filming his best-forgotten Western TV show! Being visibly uncomfortable as he elbows through a mass of fans! 

Minus one million points for not starting and finishing with the "Breeeeeeeeeeeet!" sunglasses kid.
