5 of the best and worst music-related wrestling gimmicks

#5 Worst: Aiden English - opera singer - WWE

Hear me out here, as well.

On top of being a pretty skilled worker, Aiden English is - in fact - a pretty decent singer.

I mean, he’s no Freddie Mercury, but he can carry a tune. And he also has the arrogant, pretentious heel act down pretty well, too.

The problem is that for this gimmick to work, you have to either be an amazing singer (wrestling fans hate heels who brag about how great they are and then prove it) or a terrible (and therefore delusional) singer. English is just okay - and so the fans don’t care.

Now, I know that musical taste is subjective but think about it like this - English (Eddie Guererro’s son-in-law) didn’t make it to the main roster until he dropped the singing and formed a tag team.
