5 WWE Superstars inspired by movie characters

#4: Tyler Breeze (Derek Zoolander)

Prince Pretty has imitated the fictional model to a tee.

The character of an arrogant male model helped Tyler Breeze break out as one of the most impressive heels in NXT. Breeze’s WWE main roster run was a disappointment, but he is once again back in NXT portraying the character, now as a face.

This act was inspired by Ben Stiller’s performance in Zoolander. The movie features the main character Derek Zoolander, a model who has a similar persona to Breeze that makes him hard to deal with. Breeze utilized this idea when struggling to get attention in NXT and it provided great results.

Much like the fashion world itself, Breeze has consistently been evolving the character, now working with fellow narcissist Fandango, as though the two may struggle to get wins in the ring, they have both garnered a legion of fans thanks to their antics.
