10 More Weird Wrestling Cameos In Music Videos
3. Finn Balor In Miles Kane's Cry On My Guitar
English indie rocker Miles Kane is a self-professed huge wrestling mark. How big a wrestling fan is the former Rascals frontman? Well, he titled his latest album Coup de Grace, which any wrestling fan worth their over-priced merch will recognize as the finishing move of a certain Finn Balor. This is more than coincidence as Balor just so happens to be Kane's favorite superstar and was invited to be a part of the music video for the album's second single track: Cry On My Guitar.
The video is mostly shot in black and white and depicts a brutal, Sin City-style brawl between a scrawny English musician and Finn "I can finish a match with a dislocated shoulder" Balor. Give Kane credit, he doesn't even try to make it look like an even match-up and just lets Balor whale on him while responding with minimal offense.
There are so many weird things about the video that just don't make any sense. Why is Balor attacking Kane? Did he try to jump the barricade at a house show or something? What does any of it have to do with the song itself?
At the end of the day, though, none of it really matters because it is nakedly just an excuse for a wrestling fan with connections to hang out with one of his favorite performers. And Balor, for the record, called the music video one of the coolest things he'd done in his career. No, really.
