10. The Stars Of The AWA - WrestleRock Rumble
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1CRatikdWg Just listen to that thumpin beat. The WrestleRock Rumble was essentially a takeoff of the Super Bowl Shuffle, meant to help promote the AWAs upcoming WrestleRock 86 show in the Minneapolis Metrodome. The video features a myriad of AWA stars, but the most noteworthy inclusions are Shawn Michaels, Curt Hennig, and Scott Hall sporting a massive pornstache. Most of the wrestlers attempts at rapping are just downright horrid. However, there are a few who can hold beat. Hennig and Hall are halfway decent, Larry Zybysko is decent until his ear-piercing screech, and Nick Bockwinkel attempts to save the piece with his smooth jiving. Everything comes crashing down though the moment Verne Gagne steps in front of the mic. The AWAs owner was obviously reading his lines from a sheet of paper and seemed to have no perception of what rhythm is. The WrestleRock Rumble will forever live in infamy, thanks to the wonders of the internet. Wed discuss everything thats going on and going wrong within this video, but thatd take at least another 10,000 words.
