The original three are back together as Shaz, Dunphy and Morto sit down to discuss one of the most important yet overlooked parts of professional wrestling: entrance music.From the instantly recognisable themes of the past to the more generic sound of today, the lads break down what made wrestling entrance music special in the first place. Why did composers like Jim Johnston, Jimmy Hart and CFO$ create themes that became inseparable from the wrestlers themselves? And what’s missing from WWE’s current approach, particularly in the Def Rebel era?The discussion also looks at real bands who helped shape wrestling’s sound, including Motörhead, Limp Bizkit and others, and how licensed music helped elevate certain stars and moments. Of course, everyone brings their personal favourites to the table, leading to plenty of disagreement along the way.Like, subscribe, and let us know your favourite wrestling theme in the comments.
