5 WWE Superstars who were inspired by famous musicians

3: 3-Count - N*Sync

The self-proclaimed boyband icons reunited at WrestleCade in 2014 to give a live performance for the crowd.

Though WWE fans may remember Shane Helms as The Hurricane and Shannon Moore as the first follower of Mattitude, the pair were doing big things before being signed by Vince McMahon.

In 1999, the duo were part of WCW, and alongside Evan Karagias, made 3-Count, a brilliantly named team that parodied popular boy bands of the time like N*Sync and the Backstreet Boys.

In fact, the entrance song of the trio, performed by 3-Count themselves, even referenced these much more successful bands, showing that WCW knew exactly what they were doing by parodying these hit bands.

Though the team were never destined for huge success, they did have some, as all three men held the WCW Hardcore Championship at one point in time, defending the gold under the Freebird rule.
