Michael Jackson wrestler moonwalk DDTs ‘Drake’ and dances around ring

DRAKE announced the most unlikely of collaborators on his last album Scorpion as he released a single with Michael Jackson.

But it seems the King of Pop has become a smooth criminal since then as two wrestlers impersonating the music stars put on a thrilling show in Las Vegas.

Santana Jackson and Jorel Nelson both imitate American icons Michael and Drake for Future Stars of Wrestling’s Beers and Bodyslams event in Las Vegas.

Although the clash between the pair took place almost two years ago, footage of the fight has since gone viral again because of the unique style.

In the video, Santana grabs “Drake” in a headlock before effortlessly moonwalking backwards in vintage MJ manner before executing a devastating DDT.

He then kips up and whips out another of Jackson's signature poses, followed by a twirl and a vicious King of Pop elbow-drop.

In a separate bust-up, MJ, clearly unhappy with Drake for lifting his vocals for 2018's Don't Matter To Me, hits his rival with a powerful clothesline.

Yet fans online were more than thrilled by the action, with one tweeting: "The competitors just been hit by a smooth criminal."

I thought if I was good enough, I would get to meet him. When he passed, I kept doing this to keep his legacy alive

Another said: "I could honestly watch That moonwalk DDT all day long"

A third added: "This is awesome! Long live Michael Jackson!"

BT added: "You know Micheal Jackson isn’t really dead don’t you? It’s in a book. He faked his death to wrestle on small Indy shows."

It also once alerted the attention of former SmackDown Women's champion Carmella, the self-described moonwalking, trash-talking Princess of Staten Island.

She said: "Yes, I have seen the moonwalk DDT. No need to keep tagging me in it. And if you’re wondering, I can do it better. So, stay tuned."
