Country Singer/Professional Wrestler Equivalents 5

Stoner? Probably. Beast? Definitely.

Large. Does the same thing over and over but still very popular.

Loves playing the heel. Very talented. Will talk shit at a moment’s notice.

Awesome. Takes up for herself. Most people don’t know who she is yet, but they will.

Tall. Annoyingly positive to the point of ‘go away’ heat.* Old.

Awesomely talented, but not as ‘over’** as they should be.

Not very good at anything, but always seems to be hanging around.

*Go away heat - when fans are legitimately not entertained and want the performer to stop it.

**Over - generating a large reaction from the fans.

Pro Wrestler / Country Singer Equivalents 2019

Keith Urban = Dolph Ziggler

Stupid hair. Been around for a long time.

One of the most talented but always seems to let us down.

Dan + Shay = Glacier & Ernest Miller

Uh, there's two of them.

Good at something probably, but not their chosen field.

Kacey Musgraves = Becky Lynch

 Badass. Stands up for women.

The diehards have always loved her, but she

just went big-time in 2018.

George Jones = Jeff Hardy

One of the greats. Known for showing up in bad shape or not at all.

Has had his photo taken in front of a wall at the police station several times.

(Thanks to Cherryll Batty for this idea!)

Morgan Wallen & Hardy = The Godwinns

Nobody can be this redneck in real life.

Zac Brown = Baron Corbin

Dresses stupid. Not much hair.

Pretty talented but so damn annoying that you honestly just want him to go away.

Kane Brown = The Gobbledy Gooker

Hyped heavily. Made a big splash at first, but once everybody found

out he was lame, nobody was interested any more.

Country Singer/Professional Wrestler Equivalents 3

Chris Young = Sami Zayn

Talented, likable, turned bad when doing things the right way didn't make him popular.

Sam Hunt = Karl Malone

Tall. Athletic. Not actually a country singer/wrestler, but happy to (poorly) pretend to be for money. Never won a pro sports championship.

Old Dominion = The Spirit Squad

There may be some talent in there, but it's hard to tell. Stupid looking. Creepy as shit.

Rich O'Toole = Zack Ryder

A bro, but a likable one. Self hype-man. Annoying to some, 

but appreciated when he does good work.

Charlie Daniels = Zeb Colter

Old, bearded, southern. Republican. Says crazy shit. 

Dan + Shay = Billy and Chuck

Duo. Somewhat talented, but purists don't like them. 

Are thought by some to be fabulous; not that there's anything wrong with that.

Country Singer = Pro Wrestler Equivalents 2017

 Jason Isbell = AJ Styles

Always been great, but it took until his late 30s for all but the diehard fans to figure that out. Southern. One of the best in the business. 

Kelsea Ballerini = Kelly Kelly

Not very good. One of the few promoted females in her profession at the time. Perky.

Toby Keith = Sergeant Slaughter

Patriotic but willing to switch sides for the right price. Always popular but kind of a one-trick-pony. Known for putting boots in butts. 

 Cole Swindell = Jinder Mahal

Negligible talent. Boring. Still manages to reach the upper ranks of his profession.

Miranda Lambert = Lita

BAD. ASS. Didn't go to/dropped out of college. Animal lover. Can beat you up.

 Thomas Rhett = Randy Orton

Got into the industry because of his dad. Inexplicably popular. Highly overrated. 

Frequently looks like he just smoked a joint. 

Garth Brooks = Kevin Owens

Ridiculously agile for a big man. Whether you like him or not, you gotta admit 

he's entertaining as hell. Delivers a mean pop-up power bomb...okay, that's just Owens.

Carrie Underwood = Trish Stratus

Seems like a nice guy, says dumb stuff in public, loved and hated in equal amounts, limited move set, A-lister approaching middle age, makes a living shaking ass

Brantley Gilbert = Buff Bagwell

Inexplicably popular, earrings, chains, facial hair, douchey, meathead

Wait, that's the same guy...
