This is "Rock Me Tonight" by Billy Squier, who was a popular rock star back in the 80's.
When this video premiered there was such an immediate backlash that it ended Billy Squier's career.
Who are some people in WWE that have suffered the same kind of situation? Zack Ryder in the wheelchair is the obvious answer, but there have to be others.

Dolph Ziggler and Lana being paired up screwed both of them right up, at least here anyway.

Braden Walker tragically eating Chris Harris.
Not only was his showing up out of shape bad enough to kill his WWE career, it killed Harris (again, a TNA original and one of their core stars for years) so badly that even TNA wouldn't take him back on a regular basis.

Can I say that having a rerun of the Age of Boreton has made sure I never want to watch him again? because it has.

To be fair, this song sucked and is probably more to do with Billy falling off the map, IMO. Triple H slapping down Curtis Axel in his debut promo pretty much made sure we would never take him serious. |

To be fair, a lot of that was 1) Wildfat somehow coming back to TNA in even worse shape than he was in WWECW, and 2) the fans just really wanted Matt Hardy (everybody fanbooked it being Beer Money vs the Hardy Boyz), so Chris Harris coming out kind of sucked the air out of the place. |

Reigns winning the Rumble almost killed him completely.

I'm sorry but that video!  Cant believe nobody involved realised that having a rock musician prance around in a bedroom like a teenage girl dancing to a Justin Beiber song would do anything but destroy a career. |

That video wow. I just read about it and yeah, that never should have been made.
Buff Bagwell's Mum phoning in sick for him after he had that God awful match on Raw. Career over.
Undertaker and Kane doing all they could to stink up the match with Kronic to get them sacked too.

Matt Striker yelling "I'm marking out bro!" is probably up there. It was the last time he did commentary on a PPV.

I don't think the song is that great either, but it was already a big hit before the video debuted. So the video did take its tole. |

Kenny Ortega, the choreographer behind the High School Musical films and Michael Jackson's "This is It" was responsible for this. He's also gay(not that there's anything wrong with that) but it explains a lot, really |

Kind of off topic, that song is ok, but the wardrobe and dancing are awful.
