6 Times WCW weirdly tied in with musicians

#3 Master P

Master P Diabetes Health Initiative

In the late 1990s, few rappers were at a commercial level that was comparable to Master P. Not only was the New Orleans native selling at a lot of albums as a performer, but he was at the centre of a scene as a label executive behind No Limit Records. If that were not enough, Master P's brothers Silkk The Shocker and C-Murder were also successful rappers in this era.

Believing that millions of albums would equate to millions of new viewers, WCW brought in Master P and friends under the moniker of the No Limit Soldiers. The stable launched in 1999 as part of a segment with Curt Hennig. The No Limit Soldiers were intended to be a group of babyface wrestlers, yet the questionable-creative and the unreceptive crowd actually led to the opposite sort of reaction.

The group's feud with The West Texas Rednecks -- which included Hennig, Barry Windham, Kendall Windham and Bobby Duncum Jr. -- found the Rednecks and their song "Rap Is Crap" being received favourably. The angle and stable both lasted last three months.

Interestingly, both Konnan and Rey Mysterio -- who continue to have long careers in the wrestling business -- were both parts of the No Limit Soldiers stable.
