Lucha Underground commentator Vampiro may have Milli Vanilli to thank for his career in wrestling ... because the former WCW star says part of his signature look was jacked from the lip synching duo.

Vampiro appeared on "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's podcast this week and admitted that while creating his character he borrowed Vanilli's dreadlocked hair style.

The wrestling star also told stories about touring with Milli Vanilli during their entire rise and fall from fame -- but claims he knew they were lip synching from the start.

Girl you know it's true.
