5 of the best and worst music-related wrestling gimmicks

#2 Worst: The Maestro – pianist – WCW

Poor Maestro. The man also known as Robert Kellum wrestled for WCW in 2000 in what was actually a pretty inspired gimmick - that did not go over well at all.

Kellum could actually play the piano. On top of that, he was a reasonably skilled worker and even had some pretty hefty lineage, as well - his great-uncle was the original Gorgeous George. In fact, he went by Gorgeous George III in the Indies before coming to WCW. He would come to the ring in a cape and suit and wave a conductor’s wand and would sometimes play the piano, and no one really liked it. I’m sure Kellum, who has experience in mixed martial arts and still works the indies, would rather forget it ever happened.

About the author

Kevin Christopher Sullivan has been writing online professionally since 1999, which makes him probably older than you. He's written for sites such as Uproxx and Austin.com. He's also performed stand-up comedy, attended Butt-Numb-A-Thon and E3, and owns some pretty cool t-shirts. He lives outside of Austin, TX with his wife, daughter and four annoying cats. And, yes, he knows who he has the same name as.

When he's not watching and writing about wrestling, he's probably playing video games, advocating for mental health issues, or yelling at something in his house for not "working the way it's supposed do, dang it!"
