6 WWE Superstars who were inspired by movie characters

#4. Former WWE Superstar Tyler Breeze picked up inspiration from Derek Zoolander

Many would agree that Tyler Breeze was a home-grown talent WWE greatly mishandled. He had a rather interesting gimmick during his time in the company.

Breeze became known as "Prince Pretty" after picking up a gimmick inspired by Derek Zoolander's character from the 2001 comedy Zoolander.

According to the former WWE Superstar himself, the character wasn't inspired by Zoolander at first. However, he remodeled his character after watching the film. He spoke about how things changed in an interview with Afterbuzz TV.

“Everyone thinks it must have been inspired by Zoolander, but the funny thing is it really wasn’t until later. I kind of based it off the people I had seen come in and try out. I did this face at the end of interviews and then I started watching some Zoolander stuff and switched my voice a little bit. As I started doing more interviews it kind of turned into more of Ben Stiller from Dodgeball than it actually was Zoolander. I was this loose cannon that would get angry at anything and everything you asked me was the stupidest question I’ve ever heard in my life,” said Tyler.

His gimmick was essentially Derek Zoolander with a selfie stick. It worked well for him and gave him a chance to do something different than the other superstars.
