5 of the best and worst music-related wrestling gimmicks

#2 “Best”: The West Texas Rednecks - band

In 1999, WCW was all about getting celebrities involved in wrestling. One of the less inspired collaborations was with rapper Master P and his “No Limit Soldiers” who, to be fair, were pretty big at the time. WCW decided to bring them in a feud with the West Texas Rednecks - a group comprised of Curt Hennig; Barry and Kendall Windham Bobby Duncum, Jr.; and Curly Bill (aka Virgil) - only three of which were actually from Texas.

Originally portrayed as the villains, the Rednecks formed a band and performed the song “Rap Is Crap.”

Once again, WCW underestimated just how much of the southern US made up their fan base, and the crowd turned against the hip-hop musicians and embraced the “country band” team. It went over so well that the “band: even recorded another song, “Good Ol’ Boys.” Even if you don’t like country, you have to admit the whole thing was hilarious.
