What are some things pro wrestlers can learn from rappers?

[Apex]

Rappers and wrestlers are very alike. A lot of modern-day artists in general are inspired by pro wrestling. The Weeknd's character is inspired by the Undertaker/Sting.

What are some things pro wrestlers should pick up from rappers and incorporate into their own characters

i personally like xxxtentacion's aesthetic:


^ that's like a modern day mankind type promo

We need more gimmicks and characters that aren't the same shyt we've seen for decades.

Example: Marty Scurll's villain persona isn't for everyone but it's something different and it works

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Man, this is terrible

 

[Mack de la Rocha]

Confidence!

Like ya said, being different will ultimately be what gets you truly over, but wrestlers these days don't have the balls to do that ish without caring about backlash.

Lil' Yachty, Tyler the Creator and Chance are all different from one another and were once weirdos, but thats how you blaze trails.

Re-invent yourself when you're stale

If you're good at one thing, be the best at that

Shots fired at Sasha?

These days rappers act more like wrestlers more than wrestlers act like rappers.

Rappers these days are doing shyt like actually having a gimmick. The real rappers never had a gimmick. At least not the ones I grew up on.



These rappers today do all kind of extravagant shyt to boost their popularity.

I even guarantee most of the "beef" in the past few years have all been a work just to create buzz.

Wrestlers are doing what wrestlers have been doing since forever

• Creative comebacks
• Repping their squad despite leaving the promotion (Punk being down with SCS since day one)
• Repping their promotion like a label (It used to be that way back in the days)
• Not working a shoot (ahem Tay K)

fam the entire Wu Tang Clan was a gimmick. Jay-Z had a gimmick. It's part of the game.
