Many of these cameos have flown under the radar of fans, while others got more notice. Let’s take a retrospective look at these examples when professional wrestlers stepped out of the ring and into the world of music videos.
Finn Bálor recently starred in the music video to Miles Kane’s "Cry On My Guitar."
The two met when Albano was on a trip to Purto Rico. Lauper asked Albano to appear as her father in the music video to “Girls Want To Have Fun,” In return, Lauper made appearances on WWF TV, circulating in an angle that would see to the two feuding. The pay-off took place at the first-ever wrestling broadcast shown on MTV named “The Brawl To End It All.”
For the release of the classic ’80s fantasy adventure The Goonies, Universal Pictures contacted Cyndi Lauper to write and perform the movie’s tie-in single.
Hogan stars as Starlight Starbright. It’s quite a bizarre thing to behold, not just because of the camp name (this is a Dolly Parton song after all) nor because of Hogan playing a fictionalized version of himself.
Unfortunately for Godfrey, the champ at the time was non-other the face painted wild man, The Ultimate Warrior. Cut to Phil Collins, dressed in wrestling gear adorned with heart-covered cowl and trunk combo, snapping his fingers and shuffling side to side in a dance routine with the ginormous Warrior, who looks about as uncomfortable as you can imagine.
