6 Times WCW weirdly tied in with musicians

#2 The Misfits

Danzig 'Blackest of the Black' Tour with Special Appearance by Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein

If you are a long-time fan of metal or punk rock, odds are that you are very familiar with the band known as The Misfits. Among the artists that have covered songs by The Misfits are Metallica, Guns N' Roses, AFI, NOFX, and the Dropkick Murphys.

Original lead singer Glenn Danzig, after The Misfits disbanded in the early 1980s, also has had a successful career fronting Samhain and then his solo band known as Danzig.

In the 1990s, The Misfits regrouped without Danzig -- who had previously been the band's primary songwriter -- with bassist Jerry Only taking leadership. Only, a savvy businessman ultimately got The Misfits into WCW towards the end of the company. He and his Misfits bandmates -- singer Michale Graves, guitarist Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein and drummer Dr Chud -- were part of a stable alongside Vampiro.

They not only contributed a theme song and accompanied Vampiro to the ring, but would get involved in matches via interference. Ultimately Only would have a match against "Dr Death" Steve Williams on an episode of Nitro in 1999.

Interestingly, Danzig is also a proven fan of wrestling, and recently backstage photos of him were released alongside members of the WWE's Riott Squad.
