Colter Wall's roadhouse sound sends him trending across the globe

From the middle of the Pacific, through the U.S. and across to the UK, everyone is talking about @ColterWall.

Sask. musician trending on Twitter feeds across the planet thanks to the wrestling world

The devil wears a suit and tie and, apparently, so do wrestlers.

Colter Wall's heavy and provocative brand of Americana/Roots is lending itself to some hard-hitting notoriety thanks to a recent wrestling commercial.

The Saskatchewan musician's sound has been blended and cut with some sinister smack talk for an upcoming World Wrestling Entertainment event, aptly titled Hell In A Cell

Hours after the video was tweeted, @ColterWall has become a trending topic of conversation across the globe, with a concentration of online interest in the states.

Not a bad introduction for a solo artist from Swift Current, whose dad is Premier Brad Wall. 

Perhaps, not surprising either.

Afterall, everyone (read: a dedicated wrestling fan) knows a good roadhouse wrestler stays up late drinking and isn't afraid of a fight, so, why not listen to some Wall while doing it?

It's also great to listen to if you're a bounty hunter!

Wall released his first recording project in March of 2015. (Colter Wall)
Do you know someone sweet from Saskatchewan who's making it big? Let me know!
