Musical Interlude: Lightning Does the Work (1998)

Chad Brock had what amounted to a cup of coffee with World Championship Wrestling in the mid 90's. He clearly wasn't ready for the limelight in the ring, from what few matches I'd seen. Not long after, he put his tights & boots away and traded wrestling for country music.

Brock signed with Warner Bros. Records and released his debut album in 1998. The first single, "Lightning Does The Work", had its accompanying video appear on WCW programming as a way of Brock transitioning from one career to another. In fact, the late Curt Hennig, after making fun of Brock on the air, ended up becoming a country singer himself as part of a made-for-TV feud with rapper Master P. Oh, the irony!

Brock's singing career seems to have stalled, as he hasn't been heard from in a while. Meanwhile, compliments of Warner Bros. Records' YouTube channel, here's "Lightning Does The Work":
