00:00:11.050 --> 00:00:13.789
Welcome to My Weekly Mixtape, a podcast that

00:00:13.789 --> 00:00:16.910
takes the classic mixtape approach to building

00:00:16.910 --> 00:00:19.429
a modern playlist. I'm your host, Brian Colburn.

00:00:19.589 --> 00:00:22.730
Joining me tonight is the largest panel of guests

00:00:22.730 --> 00:00:26.809
in My Weekly Mixtape history, as I can officially

00:00:26.809 --> 00:00:30.489
call this episode a panel discussion, as I'm

00:00:30.489 --> 00:00:33.950
joined by Pantheon Network mates Jason, Jordan,

00:00:34.130 --> 00:00:37.969
Ryan, and Brad, otherwise known as the Four Jobbers.

00:00:38.009 --> 00:00:40.070
Gentlemen, thank you so much for joining me tonight.

00:00:40.590 --> 00:00:42.590
Yeah, thanks for having us on. Yeah, it's great

00:00:42.590 --> 00:00:46.289
to be here. I always like to start by asking

00:00:46.289 --> 00:00:48.810
my guests this question. I guess we'll just work

00:00:48.810 --> 00:00:51.289
our way around the table, starting with, I don't

00:00:51.289 --> 00:00:53.369
know, Jason, we'll start with you. What does

00:00:53.369 --> 00:00:56.950
the word mixtape mean to you? That's a good question.

00:00:57.170 --> 00:00:59.509
And, you know, growing up, I was really into

00:00:59.509 --> 00:01:02.070
hip hop and rap. So mixtapes were very important

00:01:02.070 --> 00:01:04.969
for me. I think it was a very like it's a personal

00:01:04.969 --> 00:01:08.069
thing. I think albums are very curated and there's

00:01:08.069 --> 00:01:09.569
so much planning and everything that goes into

00:01:09.569 --> 00:01:12.049
it. For me, when I was growing up, like the rappers

00:01:12.049 --> 00:01:14.250
were able to get the mixtapes out quick and they

00:01:14.250 --> 00:01:16.250
were very personal and maybe a little bit more

00:01:16.250 --> 00:01:19.230
raw, some freestyles on there. So to me, it's

00:01:19.230 --> 00:01:21.670
more personal. Mixtapes are more personal to

00:01:21.670 --> 00:01:25.670
me. Jordan? Yeah, growing up, mixtapes were something

00:01:25.670 --> 00:01:28.359
that we would share. with other people. Like,

00:01:28.379 --> 00:01:30.500
I know you're saying it's personal, but we would

00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:32.719
share it with our mates and show them what we'd

00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:34.959
put on it. And it was almost like a representation

00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.000
of our personality. You know what I mean? Like,

00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.359
growing up, you'd be like, hey, this is what

00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:42.439
I like. What do you think about this, you know?

00:01:42.980 --> 00:01:45.640
Ryan? Yeah, Jordan said exactly what I was going

00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.799
to say. I think about the DIY that goes into

00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.180
putting a mixtape together and the expression

00:01:51.180 --> 00:01:54.299
of you. I made a mixtape for my now wife after

00:01:54.299 --> 00:01:57.379
our first date. I'd like to think it's gone well

00:01:57.379 --> 00:02:00.599
since then. I did a good enough job. And Brad?

00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:03.299
I only ever had the experience of getting one

00:02:03.299 --> 00:02:05.239
mixtape growing up when I was in high school

00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:06.920
from a girl. And it was a great experience because

00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:08.000
you never know what's going to be on it. You

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:09.400
don't know which music's going to be there. And

00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:11.439
so it's something that I think all of us have

00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.360
had a chance to experience. And then would that

00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.400
count? Like we had these CDs growing up or just

00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:19.460
after tapes, right? From in Canada, much music.

00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:21.460
I guess it's the Canadian version of MTV, right?

00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:23.879
And so you get a whole smattering of different.

00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:25.699
different styles and different genres. It'll

00:02:25.699 --> 00:02:28.080
blink 182, a little pop, things like that. So

00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.039
those are definitely some of my, my most fond

00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.159
memories. Listen to music for sure. Awesome.

00:02:32.219 --> 00:02:34.439
Awesome. Well, tonight we're going to be talking

00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:38.099
music, but since you guys are the four jobbers

00:02:38.099 --> 00:02:41.139
and you're centered around wrestling and I myself

00:02:41.139 --> 00:02:45.219
love me some WWE tonight, the five of us are

00:02:45.219 --> 00:02:49.039
going to be tasked with creating a playlist featuring

00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:53.000
the 10 best entrance themes. in WrestleMania

00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:57.800
history. So 40 years of WrestleMania wrapped

00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:02.300
up into 10 songs from Tito Santana versus the

00:03:02.300 --> 00:03:05.819
executioners opening match in WrestleMania one

00:03:05.819 --> 00:03:09.460
to the bloodline rules championship match of

00:03:09.460 --> 00:03:12.639
Roman Reigns versus Cody Rhodes to close out

00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:16.080
WrestleMania 40. We have our work cut out for

00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:19.080
us tonight. And if that wasn't hard enough. There's

00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.060
also a bit of a twist at play here because this

00:03:22.060 --> 00:03:24.780
is a music show. So no, we're not just going

00:03:24.780 --> 00:03:27.620
to rattle off our 10 favorite wrestlers in wrestling

00:03:27.620 --> 00:03:32.879
history. These songs have to be badass when separated

00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:37.900
from the wrestler. It doesn't have to be a wrestling

00:03:37.900 --> 00:03:40.960
theme because some wrestlers use actual band's

00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.300
music. Other stuff is produced by the WWE, but

00:03:44.300 --> 00:03:47.949
the song has to exist. outside of wrestling for

00:03:47.949 --> 00:03:51.270
each one of these choices. And I think watching

00:03:51.270 --> 00:03:55.229
the 2025 Royal Rumble, there were certain songs

00:03:55.229 --> 00:03:57.650
that when they would happen, I would look at

00:03:57.650 --> 00:04:00.569
the family and go, who the hell is coming out?

00:04:00.689 --> 00:04:03.449
Like, what is happening? And that was kind of

00:04:03.449 --> 00:04:06.569
the reason I decided to do this episode. So with

00:04:06.569 --> 00:04:08.569
that, I'm going to go through each one of you

00:04:08.569 --> 00:04:10.110
with this question. Jason, we'll start with you

00:04:10.110 --> 00:04:14.250
again. How hard was it for you to nail down your

00:04:14.250 --> 00:04:15.849
list? Because you only get two picks tonight.

00:04:16.390 --> 00:04:18.670
I think we've had this conversation before amongst

00:04:18.670 --> 00:04:21.350
ourselves. So it wasn't too hard for me because

00:04:21.350 --> 00:04:23.790
I know what is the greatest wrestling theme of

00:04:23.790 --> 00:04:27.750
all time. So I put that one on my list. And I

00:04:27.750 --> 00:04:31.610
chose another one that I've grown to love by

00:04:31.610 --> 00:04:34.509
listening to it. Separating the wrestler from

00:04:34.509 --> 00:04:38.649
it is important, actually, in this case. Jordan?

00:04:40.529 --> 00:04:43.850
Initially, I had like... a hundred things come

00:04:43.850 --> 00:04:45.649
to my head and i just went right okay i'm putting

00:04:45.649 --> 00:04:47.189
this down put this down put this and then i went

00:04:47.189 --> 00:04:49.230
i've only got two i need to narrow this down

00:04:49.230 --> 00:04:52.050
how the hell am i gonna do this and that was

00:04:52.050 --> 00:04:54.149
the hardest part it's i think yeah trying to

00:04:54.149 --> 00:04:56.290
separate the song from the rest of it because

00:04:56.290 --> 00:04:58.750
immediately when i thought about the song i thought

00:04:58.750 --> 00:05:00.670
about the rest of it right so i had to try and

00:05:00.670 --> 00:05:03.230
separate that out and i came up with a list of

00:05:03.230 --> 00:05:06.610
two or three just in case and uh it was tough

00:05:06.610 --> 00:05:08.430
like it is really tough because you're trying

00:05:08.430 --> 00:05:11.009
to think about what gets me personally going

00:05:11.500 --> 00:05:13.980
So it was tough, but I enjoyed it. I enjoyed

00:05:13.980 --> 00:05:16.759
coming up with some for sure. Right. Same deal.

00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.740
I had to make sure not only to think of my favorites,

00:05:19.779 --> 00:05:23.800
but I had to think of reserve picks for in case

00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.339
I get scooped because this is kind of draft style,

00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.420
if I'm not mistaken. You are right. Did I have

00:05:29.420 --> 00:05:32.600
to think of the ones that are a song that exists?

00:05:33.310 --> 00:05:35.550
that is adapted to wrestling? Or do I have to

00:05:35.550 --> 00:05:38.089
think of great songs that accompany a wrestler

00:05:38.089 --> 00:05:40.569
but have taken on a mind of their own? It's a

00:05:40.569 --> 00:05:42.189
great exercise. And as Jason said, we've done

00:05:42.189 --> 00:05:44.529
it before. And I love talking wrestling themes.

00:05:44.810 --> 00:05:47.670
We saw the worst of it almost at the Royal Rumble.

00:05:47.949 --> 00:05:50.750
And I'm excited to talk the best of it. And finally,

00:05:50.750 --> 00:05:53.259
Brad. Yeah, save the best for last, of course.

00:05:53.779 --> 00:05:55.459
There's always a little bit of banter going along.

00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:57.040
We were talking about this, getting ready for

00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:58.680
it. And, you know, we all want to snipe each

00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:00.259
other and take one of the songs from the others

00:06:00.259 --> 00:06:02.000
that the others want to show up with. And it's

00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:03.019
great you brought up the Royal Rumble because

00:06:03.019 --> 00:06:05.579
that was a great example of what happens when

00:06:05.579 --> 00:06:08.399
you don't pay that much attention to the wrestler's

00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:11.139
theme song. It is so important in building a

00:06:11.139 --> 00:06:14.540
character. Having that initial sound that lets

00:06:14.540 --> 00:06:17.000
us know who the wrestler is, is so important.

00:06:17.860 --> 00:06:19.860
especially during a Royal Rumble or during a

00:06:19.860 --> 00:06:22.100
run -in, and it can add so much. Look what Seth

00:06:22.100 --> 00:06:25.500
Rollins is doing. Just a song alone can elevate

00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:28.279
you from mid -card, maybe into the top of the

00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.720
card, just because it gives you something a little

00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.100
bit different. So I'm excited to see what the

00:06:32.100 --> 00:06:34.500
guys have today. I'm really excited to see what

00:06:34.500 --> 00:06:36.300
you pick as well, because I have no idea what's

00:06:36.300 --> 00:06:37.660
going to come out from you. So I'm excited for

00:06:37.660 --> 00:06:40.939
that. Yeah, I just put together a list of 11

00:06:40.939 --> 00:06:43.639
songs, even though there's only 10 choices. I

00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.220
have a feeling I'm going to get scooped by somebody

00:06:46.220 --> 00:06:48.500
and I wanted to be able to go in different directions

00:06:48.500 --> 00:06:52.139
based on what you guys were picking. And I have

00:06:52.139 --> 00:06:55.439
no idea where each of your mindsets are coming

00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:58.019
here. So this is going to be a complete exercise

00:06:58.019 --> 00:07:01.740
that the songs may or may not flow from each

00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:04.480
other one to the next. We might go genre hopping.

00:07:04.819 --> 00:07:08.399
We might stay in one kind of hard rock style.

00:07:08.500 --> 00:07:12.019
Who knows? So with that said, let's get down

00:07:12.019 --> 00:07:14.990
to business or. Given the theme tonight, let's

00:07:14.990 --> 00:07:17.329
get ready to rumble. Because as I mentioned at

00:07:17.329 --> 00:07:20.149
the top of the show, the five of us will be curating

00:07:20.149 --> 00:07:23.870
the ultimate WrestleMania mixtape using a roundtable

00:07:23.870 --> 00:07:26.930
approach. With our overall goal for this episode

00:07:26.930 --> 00:07:30.709
is to craft the best playlist of wrestling entrance

00:07:30.709 --> 00:07:34.779
themes through only 10 songs. At the end of the

00:07:34.779 --> 00:07:36.699
show, you can take this conversation to the next

00:07:36.699 --> 00:07:40.079
level by visiting the episode page at myweeklymixtape

00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.699

like what you're hearing on the show, you can

00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:49.939
help me out by either telling a friend. leaving

00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.899
on upcoming topics like several of the mixtapers

00:08:09.899 --> 00:08:13.339
did with the songs they would use to kick things

00:08:13.339 --> 00:08:15.060
off tonight, and I want to share them with the

00:08:15.060 --> 00:08:18.149
group here. Tom Hutchinson chimed in with Metalingus

00:08:18.149 --> 00:08:21.149
by Alter Bridge, with Edge being his favorite

00:08:21.149 --> 00:08:23.709
wrestler of all time and saying his WrestleMania

00:08:23.709 --> 00:08:27.829
24 entrance stands out the most. Brandon from

00:08:27.829 --> 00:08:30.949
Virginia chimed in with also Sprock Zarathustra,

00:08:31.029 --> 00:08:33.750
otherwise known as Ric Flair's entrance music.

00:08:34.269 --> 00:08:36.889
Rob Jones chimed in saying it's got to be Mr.

00:08:37.049 --> 00:08:40.649
WrestleMania and bonafide sexy boy Shawn Michaels

00:08:40.649 --> 00:08:43.889
theme music. However, side note, the drums on

00:08:43.889 --> 00:08:47.230
Becky Lynch's theme are absolutely nuts. Chad

00:08:47.230 --> 00:08:49.929
LaMassa chimed in with Downstate's I Came to

00:08:49.929 --> 00:08:53.850
Play for The Miz. And David Lee Smith chimed

00:08:53.850 --> 00:08:56.389
in with Voodoo Child's slight return by the Jimi

00:08:56.389 --> 00:08:59.649
Hendrix experience for Hollywood Hulk Hogan at

00:08:59.649 --> 00:09:03.220
WrestleMania 19. calling it his all -time favorite

00:09:03.220 --> 00:09:06.019
entrance music, adding that if he were in the

00:09:06.019 --> 00:09:08.960
business, he'd do anything to have that as his

00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:11.559
theme music, which I guess that would mean he

00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:13.519
has to go through Hollywood Hulk Hogan to make

00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.340
that happen. So, David, if that match is ever

00:09:16.340 --> 00:09:18.399
to go down, let me know so I can tune in and

00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.259
check that out. Once again, if you'd like to

forward slash My Weekly Mixtape. And with that...

00:09:31.690 --> 00:09:35.250
The following contest is scheduled for one fall.

00:09:35.470 --> 00:09:38.990
One fall. Introducing first, as I ran our names

00:09:38.990 --> 00:09:41.009
through a randomizer to make this Royal Rumble

00:09:41.009 --> 00:09:44.490
style, Jason, you get the pleasure or pressure

00:09:44.490 --> 00:09:47.769
of kicking things off tonight. Well, thank you

00:09:47.769 --> 00:09:49.990
very much. Unfortunately, one of those people

00:09:49.990 --> 00:09:52.129
that called in or wrote in or whatever stole

00:09:52.129 --> 00:09:53.690
my thunder a little bit, but I'm going to stay

00:09:53.690 --> 00:09:57.179
with it. the greatest wrestling theme of all

00:09:57.179 --> 00:10:02.000
time is sexy boy hbk sean michaels it's never

00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:04.919
changed for him his whole career even when he

00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:07.600
wasn't quite such a sexy boy he still made sure

00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.019
to keep it he sings it himself which is incredible

00:10:11.019 --> 00:10:13.179
and remarkable i know sherry sang the first version

00:10:13.179 --> 00:10:16.080
but this one's better And for me, it's the shower

00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.080
test. If I could listen to it in the shower and

00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.179
really feel good about it, then I like it. And

00:10:20.179 --> 00:10:21.919
I listen to Sexy Boy in the shower all the time

00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:23.700
and I come out feeling fresh and like a sexy

00:10:23.700 --> 00:10:28.340
boy. So what more could you want? It's easy to

00:10:28.340 --> 00:10:31.360
sing along to. It's funny. And there's an incredible

00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:34.639
guitar solo that really makes it feel when he

00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:36.820
holds up that title belt and that guitar solo

00:10:36.820 --> 00:10:38.659
plays like there's nothing better. He is Mr.

00:10:38.779 --> 00:10:40.639
WrestleMania. And that is the greatest wrestling

00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:43.090
theme of all time. Of course, Jason picked Shawn

00:10:43.090 --> 00:10:45.490
Michaels. He was a huge Shawn Michaels mark growing

00:10:45.490 --> 00:10:48.110
up. He was a big Shawn fan. I was a big Bret

00:10:48.110 --> 00:10:51.169
fan. And that's just what he is. He's contrarian.

00:10:51.169 --> 00:10:53.470
But in this case, I can't fault him for that.

00:10:53.549 --> 00:10:55.529
It's one of the best wrestling themes of all

00:10:55.529 --> 00:10:57.769
time. Arguably the best wrestling theme of all

00:10:57.769 --> 00:11:01.110
time. Well, yeah, again, Brad's kind of said

00:11:01.110 --> 00:11:03.269
it. Jason was definitely going to pick that.

00:11:03.330 --> 00:11:06.049
We always knew that. But I don't know if I would.

00:11:06.379 --> 00:11:09.460
ever call jason a sexy boy but that's that's

00:11:09.460 --> 00:11:12.059
okay that's okay that's absolutely fine it is

00:11:12.059 --> 00:11:15.460
an absolute banger there wouldn't be a mixtape

00:11:15.460 --> 00:11:17.220
without that on it if we're talking about wrestling

00:11:17.220 --> 00:11:19.379
so i have to agree it has to be right at the

00:11:19.379 --> 00:11:22.620
top of the list for sure uh make it four we we

00:11:22.620 --> 00:11:25.279
knew this is where jason was going and i know

00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:28.539
that sometimes the theme song and the wrestler

00:11:28.539 --> 00:11:33.539
are separate i think this theme only works for

00:11:33.539 --> 00:11:37.240
sean michaels i think it could only be sean who

00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:40.000
is accompanied by this music it works so well

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:44.100
with who he was as a character it works well

00:11:44.100 --> 00:11:47.440
now as a legacy act and it's hard to disagree

00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.179
as soon as you hear that opening riff and you

00:11:50.179 --> 00:11:53.980
hear that you get hyped because you know the

00:11:53.980 --> 00:11:57.059
greatest it's not too bad right you know the

00:11:57.059 --> 00:12:00.110
greatest is coming out and going to entertain

00:12:00.110 --> 00:12:03.389
you. So great pick, Jason. I can't say I wouldn't

00:12:03.389 --> 00:12:05.730
have picked the same. And the character itself

00:12:05.730 --> 00:12:08.330
coming from where he did with the rockers and

00:12:08.330 --> 00:12:11.110
then kind of into this sexy boy persona that

00:12:11.110 --> 00:12:14.529
he even was able to carry into Degeneration X,

00:12:14.629 --> 00:12:16.210
even though it was a little bit of a twist on

00:12:16.210 --> 00:12:19.899
it. he always was a heartthrob for the female

00:12:19.899 --> 00:12:24.000
fans. So the music fits that side of it, but

00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.659
the music is also solid enough that you could

00:12:26.659 --> 00:12:29.940
enjoy it as a jam as a guy as well. So I think

00:12:29.940 --> 00:12:33.100
this plays all parts of the character that kind

00:12:33.100 --> 00:12:35.980
of transcends the different personas he's taken

00:12:35.980 --> 00:12:38.220
on. Obviously, he didn't have this persona with

00:12:38.220 --> 00:12:40.940
the Rockers as much. It was taking him there,

00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:43.000
but he really kind of brought it to the next

00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.399
level from that point on. And once again, a shout

00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:49.000
out to Patreon mixtaper Rob Jones, who chimed

00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:52.559
in with this one as well. So with that, we're

00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.039
moving on to follow up Shawn Michaels, Sexy Boy

00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.220
Brad. We're up with your first pick of the night.

00:12:58.740 --> 00:13:02.100
I'm going to go to WrestleMania 27. One of the

00:13:02.100 --> 00:13:05.159
greatest wrestlers of all time, The Undertaker.

00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:08.740
And at this WrestleMania, he used Ain't No Grave

00:13:08.740 --> 00:13:11.919
by Johnny Cash. Nice. We all know and love The

00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:13.480
Undertaker's theme, but this was just a little

00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:15.580
bit different. added a little something extra,

00:13:15.659 --> 00:13:17.220
and it's just one of my favorite songs. I love

00:13:17.220 --> 00:13:18.960
Johnny Cash, so how could I not choose this one?

00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:22.519
Yeah, that's a great song. As far as a WrestleMania

00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:24.639
playlist, I think it's a bit obscure. I wouldn't

00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.279
even remember that he used that, but as a song,

00:13:28.340 --> 00:13:29.679
it's a great song, no doubt about it, and it

00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:32.639
fits The Undertaker perfectly. Yeah, I disagree

00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:35.019
with Jason. I remember the WrestleMania where

00:13:35.019 --> 00:13:37.539
he came out to that song. I couldn't tell you

00:13:37.539 --> 00:13:39.539
who his opponent was. That's the only thing.

00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:43.580
But it still fits with The Undertaker's general

00:13:43.580 --> 00:13:45.539
era. If I'm not mistaken, they did the gong and

00:13:45.539 --> 00:13:49.440
then they did the Johnny Cash. And it fits. It

00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:51.860
fit with his entrance. It fit with his look.

00:13:51.940 --> 00:13:54.539
It still made him imposing and made him threatening.

00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:58.320
And The Undertaker was all about aura. And this

00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:00.580
was perfect for him. I think it was Triple H.

00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:02.580
We fought at that WrestleMania. Whoever it was,

00:14:02.580 --> 00:14:08.500
they lost. That's right. Yeah, it's funny. We

00:14:08.500 --> 00:14:11.840
talk about one song being synonymous with a wrestler

00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:14.399
like Sexy Boy and Shawn Michaels. And actually,

00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:16.960
this is the opposite. Undertaker had so many

00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:19.720
different themes throughout his career. There's

00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:22.600
obviously a couple that he's more attuned with,

00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:24.919
but there's quite a few. And this one doesn't

00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:26.840
stick out for me because it was probably only

00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.429
used the once. It did for Brad. And I think that's,

00:14:30.429 --> 00:14:31.870
what's important about a mixtape. When we talk

00:14:31.870 --> 00:14:34.389
about something being, you know, a representation

00:14:34.389 --> 00:14:36.570
of your personality, throwing that one in there.

00:14:36.610 --> 00:14:39.690
It's a great song. It's a brilliant pick. Yeah.

00:14:39.830 --> 00:14:41.909
Like it's, it's great. I'm here for it. I love

00:14:41.909 --> 00:14:45.090
it. Love it. And I have to agree again. This

00:14:45.090 --> 00:14:48.909
is, I mean, we're talking Johnny cash here. One

00:14:48.909 --> 00:14:52.990
of the all time greatest musicians of any genre.

00:14:53.529 --> 00:14:57.169
And let's be honest. The undertaker steam is.

00:14:57.820 --> 00:15:01.639
decades of just countless matches where it's

00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:04.159
the same theme. This one time there was this

00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:06.720
pivot, obviously the American badass character

00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:09.720
aside here, we're talking the dead man version

00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.279
of the undertaker. This was a fun pivot because

00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.399
you knew the undertaker was coming out. You knew

00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:19.679
where we were in the card for this match. So

00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:23.480
it was a swerve where you knew what was happening.

00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.740
So the theme music almost gave this delayed.

00:15:28.270 --> 00:15:31.730
Where in the 2025 Royal Rumble, it was a delayed

00:15:31.730 --> 00:15:34.029
response because they had no clue who was coming

00:15:34.029 --> 00:15:38.070
out. This was more of a shock that they spun

00:15:38.070 --> 00:15:41.350
it to a Johnny Cash song, a country song, nonetheless.

00:15:41.570 --> 00:15:45.669
And it was so dark, it was able to grab the Undertaker's

00:15:45.669 --> 00:15:48.809
persona and channel it through an already recognizable

00:15:48.809 --> 00:15:51.889
song that's usually not. attached to him. So

00:15:51.889 --> 00:15:54.490
I thought it's a brilliant move and I actually

00:15:54.490 --> 00:15:56.990
remember it for that, but I'm also a huge music

00:15:56.990 --> 00:16:00.070
nerd. So, I mean, of course that's going to score

00:16:00.070 --> 00:16:03.909
points with me and in the random drawing, I'm

00:16:03.909 --> 00:16:07.490
actually up next. Nice. So I'm going to jump

00:16:07.490 --> 00:16:13.090
in here and follow up Johnny Cash. And I mean,

00:16:13.110 --> 00:16:15.669
I'll go with the undertaker in a way, but I'll

00:16:15.669 --> 00:16:18.470
go with one of his opponents because as far as

00:16:18.470 --> 00:16:22.000
I'm concerned, The Undertaker or Chris Jericho

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:25.779
from WrestleMania 28 and 29 are probably the

00:16:25.779 --> 00:16:28.100
two matches that stick out to me for CM Punk.

00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:31.820
So let's go Living Color, Cult of Personality.

00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:35.240
I mean, the time that Living Color played it

00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:38.610
live. and he came out. I get goosebumps for those

00:16:38.610 --> 00:16:41.950
moments. I love seeing bands come out and perform

00:16:41.950 --> 00:16:44.690
during the wrestler's entrance. I mean, the most

00:16:44.690 --> 00:16:47.450
recent was last year with Motionless and White

00:16:47.450 --> 00:16:50.450
playing out Rhea Ripley for her title defense.

00:16:50.830 --> 00:16:55.190
I love the fact that CM Punk took it upon himself

00:16:55.190 --> 00:16:58.950
when he returned to WWE to reach out to Living

00:16:58.950 --> 00:17:03.110
Color themselves and have them re -record a version

00:17:03.110 --> 00:17:07.170
of the song so that way, he can ensure the money

00:17:07.170 --> 00:17:13.029
went to the band versus the label. CM Punk is

00:17:13.029 --> 00:17:15.210
a personality in the ring that's a character,

00:17:15.390 --> 00:17:18.130
but he also has some of the morals that his character

00:17:18.130 --> 00:17:21.369
possesses. And when something like that happens,

00:17:21.509 --> 00:17:24.829
to me, that takes it a step above the business.

00:17:24.990 --> 00:17:27.990
And it was just an awesome move to do for a band

00:17:27.990 --> 00:17:31.170
that truly... is one of the most underrated rock

00:17:31.170 --> 00:17:33.130
bands as far as I'm concerned. They should be

00:17:33.130 --> 00:17:35.910
so much bigger than Cult of Personality. They're

00:17:35.910 --> 00:17:38.549
such an amazing group. And I love the fact that

00:17:38.549 --> 00:17:41.450
CM Punk is keeping their legacy alive through

00:17:41.450 --> 00:17:43.990
that song. And then I'll just close up by saying

00:17:43.990 --> 00:17:47.029
Punk is three and four at WrestleMania. Maybe

00:17:47.029 --> 00:17:50.130
he'll be tied up at the end of 41 in the triple

00:17:50.130 --> 00:17:53.569
threat match. Who knows? Yeah, I mean... Again,

00:17:53.690 --> 00:17:55.529
it's another one that was absolutely going to

00:17:55.529 --> 00:17:57.769
have to be in there at some point, right? When

00:17:57.769 --> 00:18:00.869
we talk about the Royal Rumble that's just passed

00:18:00.869 --> 00:18:04.250
and some unrecognizable songs, you immediately

00:18:04.250 --> 00:18:08.170
know what's happening. From the first half of

00:18:08.170 --> 00:18:11.670
a second of that track, you know who it is and

00:18:11.670 --> 00:18:14.250
you know the way that it's going to turn in whatever

00:18:14.250 --> 00:18:18.680
match is happening, right? To have Punk in this

00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:21.440
mixtape or Living Color in this mixtape, yeah,

00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:23.119
of course, it makes absolute sense. Love it.

00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:25.859
Absolutely love that pick. And it has a little

00:18:25.859 --> 00:18:27.940
bit of a special place in my heart because I

00:18:27.940 --> 00:18:31.579
got to see it live once. Undertaker versus CM

00:18:31.579 --> 00:18:35.119
Punk, MetLife Stadium, WrestleMania 29. Jason

00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:37.740
and I were live in the building. So yeah, as

00:18:37.740 --> 00:18:39.359
soon as you said it, all those memories start

00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:43.019
flooding back. And it's on its own. How incredible

00:18:43.019 --> 00:18:46.109
of a song. Then you add it to CM Punk. Probably

00:18:46.109 --> 00:18:48.890
the best promo of all time. Come on. It's perfect.

00:18:49.569 --> 00:18:52.490
Yeah, I was introduced to this song through CM

00:18:52.490 --> 00:18:55.869
Punk. I heard it first as his theme music. And

00:18:55.869 --> 00:18:58.269
now I can easily say the song itself is probably

00:18:58.269 --> 00:19:02.190
in my top 10 songs of all time. I love it. It's

00:19:02.190 --> 00:19:05.250
an incredible song. It's more relevant than ever

00:19:05.250 --> 00:19:07.210
right now, the lyrics and everything about it.

00:19:07.470 --> 00:19:09.990
So, yeah, I think that's a fantastic pick. So

00:19:09.990 --> 00:19:12.410
props to CM Punk for introducing me to that song.

00:19:12.990 --> 00:19:16.609
It's as Jordan said, all the best wrestling themes,

00:19:16.789 --> 00:19:20.210
you know, within a couple seconds, who's coming

00:19:20.210 --> 00:19:24.650
out. And I love the TV static noise. It perfectly

00:19:24.650 --> 00:19:28.230
encapsulates CM Punk as a character. He is the

00:19:28.230 --> 00:19:31.470
disruptor. He is interrupting whatever programming

00:19:31.470 --> 00:19:34.349
you were expecting to watch because he's going

00:19:34.349 --> 00:19:37.869
to take it in his direction, whether it's voice

00:19:37.869 --> 00:19:39.690
of the voiceless, whether it's dropping another

00:19:39.690 --> 00:19:43.259
pipe bomb or whether it's being the best. wrestler

00:19:43.259 --> 00:19:46.680
in the world. One of the best moments in wrestling

00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:49.279
in the last few years was when he returned to

00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:53.259
WWE. Hell froze over at Survivor Series 2023.

00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:56.380
Nobody was expecting it. And as soon as you're,

00:19:56.380 --> 00:20:00.279
you know what you're in store for. So excellent

00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:02.019
pick. If you were going to pick it, Brian, that

00:20:02.019 --> 00:20:04.569
was going to be my pick. Well, that pop at the

00:20:04.569 --> 00:20:07.250
end of Survivor Series, I think might be one

00:20:07.250 --> 00:20:10.089
of the biggest pops I've ever heard in any moment.

00:20:10.190 --> 00:20:13.289
I mean, it's not top three for sure. One of the

00:20:13.289 --> 00:20:17.829
best pops ever. But with that, next up on our

00:20:17.829 --> 00:20:22.569
list is Jordan with the next pick. Well, we've

00:20:22.569 --> 00:20:26.170
talked about instantly recognizable themes, and

00:20:26.170 --> 00:20:28.269
I'm going to pick one here that I think all of

00:20:28.269 --> 00:20:31.549
us will agree has to be in. But I put a little

00:20:31.549 --> 00:20:35.609
bit of a twist on my pick. It is Disturbed with

00:20:35.609 --> 00:20:40.289
Glass Shatters, Stone Cold Steve Austin. Not

00:20:40.289 --> 00:20:43.670
only am I picking one of the most recognizable

00:20:43.670 --> 00:20:46.650
themes of all time, I'm having to pick the Disturbed

00:20:46.650 --> 00:20:49.789
version of it because it's Disturbed. And as

00:20:49.789 --> 00:20:52.710
a hard rock fan, I absolutely love that. Again,

00:20:52.950 --> 00:20:55.470
it's just, it's an absolute staple and it's one

00:20:55.470 --> 00:20:59.150
that was glued to Stone Cold his entire career.

00:20:59.269 --> 00:21:02.349
And even now, he can't get away from that. sound

00:21:02.349 --> 00:21:04.890
hits you know what's going to happen the the

00:21:04.890 --> 00:21:07.609
level of for lack of a better phrase violence

00:21:07.609 --> 00:21:09.869
in whatever match or whatever moment is going

00:21:09.869 --> 00:21:12.329
to happen immediately just goes up when stone

00:21:12.329 --> 00:21:15.910
cold's music hits disturbed glass shatters it's

00:21:15.910 --> 00:21:19.650
in there yeah i mean you can't have a wrestling

00:21:19.650 --> 00:21:23.539
mixtape without stone cold steve austin There

00:21:23.539 --> 00:21:26.460
is no, I know I was just talking up CM Punk's

00:21:26.460 --> 00:21:29.500
theme song, but there is no two seconds of wrestling

00:21:29.500 --> 00:21:32.140
soundtrack that is more iconic than the glass

00:21:32.140 --> 00:21:35.460
shattering. In the Attitude era, nothing got

00:21:35.460 --> 00:21:38.500
fans out of their seats quicker than that because

00:21:38.500 --> 00:21:41.380
you knew that whatever was going on was about

00:21:41.380 --> 00:21:45.440
to be turned up to 11. So absolutely excellent

00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:48.579
pick. We cannot leave Stone Cold off of this

00:21:48.579 --> 00:21:51.440
list. yeah i mean what what else can you say

00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:53.019
about stone cold i think he had that theme when

00:21:53.019 --> 00:21:55.640
he turned heel if i'm not or he was with the

00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:58.259
alliance or something and you ask yourself like

00:21:58.259 --> 00:22:00.099
how can you make his you know glass breaking

00:22:00.099 --> 00:22:02.279
entrance theme any more iconic and a lot of people

00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:04.900
argue that this version is better you know you

00:22:04.900 --> 00:22:07.039
got some lyrics you can sing along to and i really

00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:09.619
do enjoy this version as well and uh i might

00:22:09.619 --> 00:22:12.200
take it over his original one so good pick definitely

00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:14.000
a great shout choosing that one not just the

00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:16.380
classic stone cold but this specific version

00:22:16.380 --> 00:22:18.930
great choice he is Probably number one on my

00:22:18.930 --> 00:22:21.009
Mount Rushmore of wrestlers. He was just all

00:22:21.009 --> 00:22:23.210
around the best. It was the hottest time in wrestling.

00:22:23.369 --> 00:22:25.130
We still go back. Jason and I were going back

00:22:25.130 --> 00:22:28.410
last week and watching old Stone Cold stuff because

00:22:28.410 --> 00:22:30.410
it's just that damn good. And there's nothing

00:22:30.410 --> 00:22:33.230
more iconic than the glass breaking. I'm not

00:22:33.230 --> 00:22:35.769
going to lie. During WrestleMania 40, as much

00:22:35.769 --> 00:22:40.269
as I loved the gong, I was waiting after that

00:22:40.269 --> 00:22:43.869
segment finished for the glass shatters. And

00:22:43.869 --> 00:22:46.299
even when the match was over, I'm like. It's

00:22:46.299 --> 00:22:49.559
got to still happen. I felt like that was needed.

00:22:49.740 --> 00:22:52.559
And I don't know if it's going to happen for

00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.579
WrestleMania 41, but there's rumblings and there's

00:22:56.579 --> 00:22:58.920
rumors and you never know what to believe. But

00:22:58.920 --> 00:23:02.660
if there were anybody to make WrestleMania 41

00:23:02.660 --> 00:23:05.859
memorable, knowing that The Rock is going to

00:23:05.859 --> 00:23:08.460
be down at ringside, you've got John Cena in

00:23:08.460 --> 00:23:11.740
his last WrestleMania match. You've got the current

00:23:11.740 --> 00:23:15.160
face of the company and Cody Rhodes. You bring

00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:18.400
that glass shatters into the fold and you have

00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:22.119
a WrestleMania moment that I mean, Stone Cold

00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:24.200
hasn't been there since he faced Kevin Owens.

00:23:24.460 --> 00:23:27.480
So I think it would be a return of epic proportions.

00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:30.220
But, you know, we don't we don't know yet. We

00:23:30.220 --> 00:23:32.740
have to wait and see. But with that, Ryan, we're

00:23:32.740 --> 00:23:37.400
up to you for track five. Track five. So I appreciate.

00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:41.859
all the entries of the artists who lent their

00:23:41.859 --> 00:23:44.799
songs to wrestlers. But we do have to pay tribute

00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:47.720
to Jim Johnston. While we have Def Rebel now,

00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:49.480
and that's a lot of where our complaints are

00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:51.740
coming from for the unrecognizable musics, Jim

00:23:51.740 --> 00:23:55.160
Johnston produced some fire tracks that I think

00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:59.140
go beyond the wrestler it was written for. And

00:23:59.140 --> 00:24:01.500
the one that comes to mind first and foremost

00:24:01.500 --> 00:24:06.039
is Break the Walls Down. for Chris Jericho. And

00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:09.259
it's not only just the swagger that you get,

00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:11.279
you feel like you can walk down the entrance

00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:14.400
ramp to that song. It's also what he represented.

00:24:14.619 --> 00:24:17.140
It was the turn of the millennium where he showed

00:24:17.140 --> 00:24:21.319
up on Monday Night Raw. Raw is Jericho, the new

00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:26.279
era of WWE and of wrestling. The smaller guy

00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:29.240
focusing on the technical style. I know that

00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:31.779
these songs are supposed to separate from the

00:24:31.779 --> 00:24:34.579
wrestlers, but you can't have... break the walls

00:24:34.579 --> 00:24:38.220
down without the aura of Jerick and I know ironically

00:24:38.220 --> 00:24:41.599
enough he's in a band and he makes his own theme

00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:44.319
songs now and I'm picking the one obviously it

00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:47.299
had to be from a previous Wrestlemania so I have

00:24:47.299 --> 00:24:50.599
to pick the one from WWE and I love it with the

00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:55.410
countdown and then you know I gotcha All of it.

00:24:55.410 --> 00:24:57.789
All of it comes together. I know I'm acting out

00:24:57.789 --> 00:25:00.150
a lot of these things. I love it. Given he was

00:25:00.150 --> 00:25:02.730
one of my favorites, I can't separate. I can't

00:25:02.730 --> 00:25:05.170
separate the art from the artist in this sense.

00:25:05.309 --> 00:25:08.509
He was one of my faves growing up. His theme

00:25:08.509 --> 00:25:13.130
music accentuated that. Yeah, I mean, I look

00:25:13.130 --> 00:25:14.970
back at that era of wrestling really, really

00:25:14.970 --> 00:25:18.410
fondly as most of us do here. And that kind of

00:25:18.410 --> 00:25:21.230
mystique of what was going to happen when...

00:25:21.420 --> 00:25:24.519
Jericho first debuted in the lead up to Y2J,

00:25:24.700 --> 00:25:28.240
right? That's a huge moment. And the whole Raw

00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:32.000
is Jericho, like introduction for him. And then

00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:34.920
the build into us hearing this break the walls.

00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:37.259
It was a huge time in wrestling. It was really

00:25:37.259 --> 00:25:40.519
exciting. And that song is synonymous with that

00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:43.599
era. So yeah, it's a great pick from Ryan. I

00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:46.099
love it. Well done. Well done, man. This brings

00:25:46.099 --> 00:25:49.619
me back to WrestleMania 19. How spoiled were

00:25:49.619 --> 00:25:51.809
we? If you haven't seen it, or if you haven't

00:25:51.809 --> 00:25:54.150
seen in a long time, WrestleMania 19 was stacked.

00:25:54.269 --> 00:25:58.049
We had Shawn Michaels versus Chris Jericho in

00:25:58.049 --> 00:26:01.170
arguably Chris Jericho's best match of all time.

00:26:01.309 --> 00:26:03.569
And on that card, you also had things like, you

00:26:03.569 --> 00:26:05.490
know, Triple H, Booker T, you had Hulk Hogan,

00:26:05.569 --> 00:26:08.269
Vince McMahon, The Rock, Stone Cold, Brock Lesnar,

00:26:08.349 --> 00:26:11.349
Kurt Angle. But this match stands out above all

00:26:11.349 --> 00:26:13.869
of those. That's how darn good it was. And this

00:26:13.869 --> 00:26:16.549
entrance with the long tube sort of shot that

00:26:16.549 --> 00:26:19.380
comes in on his... titantron video into the song

00:26:19.380 --> 00:26:21.920
appearing and he's just standing there arms out

00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:25.619
damn canadian greatness man let's go yeah i agree

00:26:25.619 --> 00:26:27.579
as well it's one of my favorite uh wrestling

00:26:27.579 --> 00:26:30.400
themes of all time fits the man perfectly uh

00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:33.339
i listen to it uh pretty often actually if we're

00:26:33.339 --> 00:26:35.980
talking about like wrestling themes and uh yeah

00:26:35.980 --> 00:26:38.589
i agree 100 it's got to be on that list Chris

00:26:38.589 --> 00:26:40.829
is a hell of a singer. I think that's been established

00:26:40.829 --> 00:26:43.470
over the years. I mean, I love what he's doing

00:26:43.470 --> 00:26:46.630
with Fozzy. Obviously, I was a huge Stuck Mojo

00:26:46.630 --> 00:26:49.269
fan in the 90s. So when I heard that members

00:26:49.269 --> 00:26:51.950
of Stuck Mojo were getting together with Chris

00:26:51.950 --> 00:26:54.069
Jericho, I'm going, this doesn't make sense on

00:26:54.069 --> 00:26:56.809
paper. And then when I heard the first Fozzy

00:26:56.809 --> 00:26:59.349
album, I'm going, okay, okay, you got my attention.

00:26:59.670 --> 00:27:02.849
You got my attention. And obviously, he's spun

00:27:02.849 --> 00:27:05.369
it into doing his own theme music. But to me,

00:27:05.390 --> 00:27:09.430
this was his... most iconic period in wrestling.

00:27:09.849 --> 00:27:13.410
And I feel like the Y2J character was, and I

00:27:13.410 --> 00:27:15.069
don't want to say his peak because he's still

00:27:15.069 --> 00:27:17.049
at it now. The fact that he's still going this

00:27:17.049 --> 00:27:20.369
long speaks volumes for him as a wrestler, him

00:27:20.369 --> 00:27:24.029
as a character, him as a athlete, just to be

00:27:24.029 --> 00:27:26.789
able to still do it at the rate he's doing. But

00:27:26.789 --> 00:27:31.289
this is definitely the song for him. And I love

00:27:31.289 --> 00:27:33.920
the fact that you went with this one. And with

00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:35.799
that, I just want to remind people that are listening

00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:37.960
that you can hear all the songs we're discussing

00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:41.299
in this mix through the playlist embedded on

00:27:41.299 --> 00:27:45.000
the episode page over at myweeklymixtape .com.

00:27:45.420 --> 00:27:48.319
So we're here at the halfway point. And believe

00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:50.500
it or not, we're not going to use the exact same

00:27:50.500 --> 00:27:52.519
order we had the first time around because what

00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:55.759
fun would that be? So I randomized it yet again.

00:27:55.940 --> 00:27:59.720
And starting the second half of this side is

00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:03.039
bread. Let's go. All right, I get to bring up

00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:05.819
a banger right here. I'm going to go with soon

00:28:05.819 --> 00:28:09.660
-to -be Hall of Famer, the man at the helm of

00:28:09.660 --> 00:28:13.559
the company, Trips, Triple H. How could I not

00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:16.319
go with this one? It has to be on the list. Jordan's

00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:18.579
boy. Jordan says this is his favorite wrestler

00:28:18.579 --> 00:28:21.599
of all time, and it's very hard to argue. Motorhead,

00:28:21.740 --> 00:28:25.299
the game, Triple H. This is one of the best songs

00:28:25.299 --> 00:28:26.940
of all time, one of the best wrestlers of all

00:28:26.940 --> 00:28:29.740
time. What an iconic career he's had, and he's

00:28:29.740 --> 00:28:33.279
still, going and that song is so damn good so

00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:37.140
let's go triple h the game yeah triple h uh his

00:28:37.140 --> 00:28:39.039
music is always on point especially that song

00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:41.839
uh the entrances that come along with it everything

00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:43.660
like when you hear the music all that imagery

00:28:43.660 --> 00:28:45.500
comes to your head it's like impossible not to

00:28:45.500 --> 00:28:49.099
i'm not even like a huge metal or like you know

00:28:49.099 --> 00:28:52.660
a rock music kind of guy but this entrance theme

00:28:52.660 --> 00:28:55.220
really got me more into opening my mind to this

00:28:55.220 --> 00:28:56.960
kind of music actually so yeah i agree with you

00:28:57.450 --> 00:29:01.150
Triple H made this entrance theme work for him

00:29:01.150 --> 00:29:03.950
more than many other wrestlers. When he came

00:29:03.950 --> 00:29:07.390
out as kind of this like warrior, Viking, pirate,

00:29:07.650 --> 00:29:12.250
king, water spitting. I don't know. There's just

00:29:12.250 --> 00:29:14.730
a little bit of everything all in one with the

00:29:14.730 --> 00:29:18.450
water spitting. Yeah. That insane guitar riff

00:29:18.450 --> 00:29:21.609
at the beginning, the voice that only Lemmy could

00:29:21.609 --> 00:29:25.309
do. Yeah. This is an excellent pick. He wasn't

00:29:25.309 --> 00:29:28.069
on my short list just because, I knew someone

00:29:28.069 --> 00:29:31.930
else would bring him up, but yeah, this is an

00:29:31.930 --> 00:29:35.670
excellent addition to our mixtape here. WrestleMania

00:29:35.670 --> 00:29:40.970
X7. Triple H comes out to this being played live

00:29:40.970 --> 00:29:44.750
by Motorhead. One of my, I like, I remember sitting

00:29:44.750 --> 00:29:48.309
watching this and just freaking out. It was so,

00:29:48.309 --> 00:29:52.680
so good. Lemmy forgot the words. And he ended

00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:54.039
up just singing the same thing over and over

00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:56.259
again. Go watch it. He genuinely forgets it.

00:29:56.339 --> 00:29:58.680
It's great. But it doesn't matter because the

00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:02.519
song is so, so good. You can't help but get hyped

00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:05.579
when you hear that. I'm going to use a waxism

00:30:05.579 --> 00:30:07.579
here and just try and make some noises. When

00:30:07.579 --> 00:30:10.940
you hear that initial, you're just like, yes,

00:30:11.140 --> 00:30:13.539
I'm ready. Let's go. Bring them out. Bring them

00:30:13.539 --> 00:30:16.609
out. I love it. WrestleMania 21, when Triple

00:30:16.609 --> 00:30:19.410
H lost to Batista, didn't Motorhead play that

00:30:19.410 --> 00:30:22.690
one too, or am I mistaken? Yes, I think so. I

00:30:22.690 --> 00:30:24.609
think they did. Okay, good. I thought my mind

00:30:24.609 --> 00:30:26.390
was playing tricks on me at that point because

00:30:26.390 --> 00:30:29.569
I remember saying to my friends, well, he lost

00:30:29.569 --> 00:30:31.950
the title to Batista, but at least Motorhead

00:30:31.950 --> 00:30:33.390
was there. So, I mean, that's got to account

00:30:33.390 --> 00:30:38.230
for something. But with that, Jordan, you are

00:30:38.230 --> 00:30:40.970
up with the next pick. So we spoke about Jim

00:30:40.970 --> 00:30:44.369
Johnson being a hero of the Attitude Era and

00:30:44.369 --> 00:30:46.529
before, actually, for some of the themes that

00:30:46.529 --> 00:30:49.569
he came up with. But I'm going to go to, what,

00:30:49.690 --> 00:30:53.990
late 2010s -ish. There was another artist that

00:30:53.990 --> 00:30:56.049
was bringing up some wrestling themes for us.

00:30:56.890 --> 00:31:00.450
CFO, dollar sign, I guess is what they're known

00:31:00.450 --> 00:31:03.490
as to producers. And they came up with a theme

00:31:03.490 --> 00:31:07.119
song for a gentleman. And I had to look this

00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:08.980
up because we spoke about it being somebody that

00:31:08.980 --> 00:31:11.160
was in WrestleMania. And I really had to make

00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:13.000
sure that they've been on WrestleMania. And they

00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:16.960
have. WrestleMania 34, US title, Fatal 4 -Way.

00:31:17.299 --> 00:31:19.619
The lights go off. There's a little bit of a

00:31:19.619 --> 00:31:23.200
piano. And then you just hear glorious domination.

00:31:23.940 --> 00:31:29.400
Bobby Roode comes out. Again, the wrestler maybe

00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:33.480
doesn't quite match up to how great this song

00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:38.390
was. But my days from NXT onto the main roster,

00:31:38.529 --> 00:31:42.089
glorious Bobby Roode. Everybody was out of their

00:31:42.089 --> 00:31:44.269
seats singing this one. So, yeah, it had to be

00:31:44.269 --> 00:31:46.990
in there for me. It's such a good song. If you

00:31:46.990 --> 00:31:49.369
can't tell, Jordan's from Scotland, right? I

00:31:49.369 --> 00:31:51.569
mean, it should be pretty obvious from the Scotland

00:31:51.569 --> 00:31:53.369
top. And if not, then that beautiful voice that

00:31:53.369 --> 00:31:55.289
keeps coming in. And if you didn't know, he's

00:31:55.289 --> 00:31:57.809
an incredible singer. Put a couple of pints into

00:31:57.809 --> 00:31:59.750
him and he can start belting out some beautiful

00:31:59.750 --> 00:32:02.940
music. But that being said. When I started living

00:32:02.940 --> 00:32:04.740
in Edinburgh and I was working at a store over

00:32:04.740 --> 00:32:07.019
there, you never know how to bring up wrestling,

00:32:07.099 --> 00:32:08.799
right? You don't want to be that guy who's just

00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:11.539
like, I'm a super big wrestling fan until you

00:32:11.539 --> 00:32:13.980
lay the groundwork a little bit and see. But

00:32:13.980 --> 00:32:17.240
this is one of those songs that was playing in

00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:19.420
the store because one of our colleagues had put

00:32:19.420 --> 00:32:21.200
it on. And that was kind of the opening to being

00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:23.500
like, wow, they like wrestling. They know wrestling.

00:32:23.579 --> 00:32:25.720
I can bring it up. I can talk about it now. And

00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:28.339
this is a song that we used to play all the time

00:32:28.339 --> 00:32:32.019
because it's so damn good. Yeah, like you said,

00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:36.000
Bobby Roode doesn't really hit much for me as

00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:39.480
a wrestling fan. I don't know much of his stuff,

00:32:39.539 --> 00:32:43.299
but this song really surpassed him in every way.

00:32:43.420 --> 00:32:45.480
It could surpass a lot of wrestlers. It just

00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:47.940
feels like a warm blanket coming over you musically

00:32:47.940 --> 00:32:51.740
when it hits. And as far as the newer, more modern

00:32:51.740 --> 00:32:55.019
type wrestling themes, this one really stands

00:32:55.019 --> 00:32:57.579
out. No problem with putting it on. It might

00:32:57.579 --> 00:32:59.599
not have the same historical feeling and everything,

00:32:59.740 --> 00:33:03.779
but the song itself, it hits. Yeah, I love this

00:33:03.779 --> 00:33:06.420
poll, Jordan. As the kids say, you were in your

00:33:06.420 --> 00:33:09.920
bag for this one. And I thought about it myself.

00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:12.720
Again, it's one of those where the theme song

00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:15.660
kind of predates what the wrestler himself did

00:33:15.660 --> 00:33:19.920
in WWE. But my prevailing memory of this song

00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:22.519
is actually not WrestleMania. It's an NXT takeover

00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:26.700
in Toronto where a live choir. came out and accompanied

00:33:26.700 --> 00:33:29.559
Bobby Roode. And it's just, this is one of the

00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:33.559
more epic sounding and grand sounding theme songs

00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:36.380
in WWE history. I wish they did more with Bobby

00:33:36.380 --> 00:33:39.099
just so I could hear that theme song over and

00:33:39.099 --> 00:33:42.859
over again. I have to agree kind of with what

00:33:42.859 --> 00:33:44.839
Jason said and maybe the whole panel as well,

00:33:44.900 --> 00:33:47.299
because I feel like this is one of those instances

00:33:47.299 --> 00:33:50.640
where the song almost eclipsed the height of

00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:53.880
the original wrestler at some point. And I feel

00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:56.339
like CFO, dollar sign, I think they're called

00:33:56.339 --> 00:33:58.720
chief financial officer, if I'm not mistaken.

00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:01.660
They do my daughter's favorite wrestler's theme

00:34:01.660 --> 00:34:04.160
song, which is Bianca Belair's Watch Me Shine.

00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:08.099
They had a knack for coming up with songs that

00:34:08.099 --> 00:34:10.940
kind of, God, I feel bad for shitting on Def

00:34:10.940 --> 00:34:15.019
Rebel all the time. But I mean, really, you think

00:34:15.019 --> 00:34:16.960
about some of the stuff that chief financial

00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:19.909
officers did. And then you think about the 2025

00:34:19.909 --> 00:34:22.670
Royal Rumble, and I think the argument's just

00:34:22.670 --> 00:34:28.130
made. But with that, Ryan, you're up next. Yes,

00:34:28.130 --> 00:34:30.909
gentlemen, I'm noticing a theme in our mixtape

00:34:30.909 --> 00:34:34.010
thus far, and we are missing something. We are

00:34:34.010 --> 00:34:37.469
missing a little female representation, not just

00:34:37.469 --> 00:34:41.179
for the wrestler, but the artist. And so I have

00:34:41.179 --> 00:34:42.900
to pick, even though I wasn't the biggest fan

00:34:42.900 --> 00:34:45.780
of this person in WWE, I do have to pick it because

00:34:45.780 --> 00:34:48.059
the music was so excellent. And it also was the

00:34:48.059 --> 00:34:50.679
theme song of Freaks and Geeks, one of my favorite

00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:53.800
shows that was on for all too short of a time.

00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:57.920
It's Bad Reputation by Joan Jett, also the theme

00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:02.519
song of one rowdy Ronda Rousey. And I don't,

00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:04.659
I was never a UFC guy, so I don't know if she

00:35:04.659 --> 00:35:07.599
also used this theme in her UFC career. I want

00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:10.969
to say she... But don't quote me on that. But

00:35:10.969 --> 00:35:13.110
it kind of encompassed everything that I've always

00:35:13.110 --> 00:35:15.389
loved about wrestling. It's the counterculture,

00:35:15.489 --> 00:35:20.130
the punk rock aspect, the edge of it. And Ronda

00:35:20.130 --> 00:35:23.730
did represent that. She kind of brought or helped

00:35:23.730 --> 00:35:26.739
bring the women's division. in wwe into this

00:35:26.739 --> 00:35:30.199
out of the divas era and into the women's wrestling

00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:33.539
era first evolution pay -per -view and then what

00:35:33.539 --> 00:35:36.239
the women's wrestling division has become not

00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:41.340
only in wwe but also in adw and it's it's ronda's

00:35:41.340 --> 00:35:43.960
debut in wwe that really was a flagship moment

00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:48.099
for it and that theme is just so cool that it

00:35:48.099 --> 00:35:50.880
has to be on the mixtape quite honestly it's

00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:54.199
whether you you enjoyed ronda or not I'm kind

00:35:54.199 --> 00:35:56.340
of surprised by that pick from you, Ryan. I won't

00:35:56.340 --> 00:35:58.659
lie, but I like it. I'm kind of here for it.

00:35:58.679 --> 00:36:00.679
I'm trying to like mull it over because it's

00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:02.920
fresh to my ears, you saying this. So I'm like,

00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:05.960
does it make sense to be on this playlist? Yeah,

00:36:06.019 --> 00:36:07.960
it does actually. You're right. Because actually

00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:11.440
if I separate Ronda from the track, the actual

00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:14.980
track itself is an absolute banger. And again,

00:36:15.099 --> 00:36:18.420
pretty instantly recognizable. So yeah, it's

00:36:18.420 --> 00:36:21.090
a good pick. Great choice. I was a huge Roddy

00:36:21.090 --> 00:36:23.590
Piper fan and she was a huge fan of him. And

00:36:23.590 --> 00:36:25.769
so that got me right on board right away. And

00:36:25.769 --> 00:36:28.929
it was her UFC theme as well. I remember seeing

00:36:28.929 --> 00:36:31.949
her come out to that for sure. And the start

00:36:31.949 --> 00:36:36.210
of her career was so good in WWE. And this song

00:36:36.210 --> 00:36:39.050
added a lot to it. And maybe towards the end,

00:36:39.070 --> 00:36:40.449
when you heard that music hit, you weren't as

00:36:40.449 --> 00:36:42.550
excited or at least some people weren't. I've

00:36:42.550 --> 00:36:44.849
always been a big fan. I still welcome her back

00:36:44.849 --> 00:36:47.210
with open arms in WWE as long as they do it right.

00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:50.280
And so great choice, Ryan. Great show. Yeah,

00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:53.400
I would say great pick for the first run Ronda

00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:55.860
had. Bad pick for the second run that Ronda had

00:36:55.860 --> 00:36:57.360
because by the second run, we're all just telling

00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:01.559
her to run away and go away. But as far as the

00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:03.320
song, it matches her perfectly. I didn't know

00:37:03.320 --> 00:37:05.440
she used it for UFC, so that makes it even better.

00:37:05.920 --> 00:37:08.139
It's a badass song, and she was a badass when

00:37:08.139 --> 00:37:10.599
she came in for her first run. I just watched

00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:12.699
the tag match actually recently where it was

00:37:12.699 --> 00:37:14.940
her Kurt Angle versus Stephanie and Triple H,

00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:17.579
a match that we had no expectations for, but

00:37:17.579 --> 00:37:20.360
really surpassed anything we could have imagined.

00:37:20.539 --> 00:37:23.039
It was a great match. So, yeah, good pick. I

00:37:23.039 --> 00:37:25.380
have to agree with the whole panel. Like Brad,

00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:28.679
I am a huge Roddy Piper fan. Roddy Piper is actually

00:37:28.679 --> 00:37:31.739
my favorite wrestler of all time. Let's go. So,

00:37:31.900 --> 00:37:35.710
I mean, I grew up. watching the early WrestleManias,

00:37:35.710 --> 00:37:37.389
there was something I loved about his character,

00:37:37.570 --> 00:37:40.449
the eye pokes, the little bit of humor mixed

00:37:40.449 --> 00:37:42.829
with a little bit of like, I don't know, there's

00:37:42.829 --> 00:37:45.070
a badass side to him, but there was also this

00:37:45.070 --> 00:37:47.750
humorous Three Stooges side to him, and he knew

00:37:47.750 --> 00:37:50.769
how to balance it so perfectly. And then obviously

00:37:50.769 --> 00:37:53.389
you throw They Live In There, and it's incredible.

00:37:53.869 --> 00:37:57.590
Theme music -wise, his music's great. I love

00:37:57.590 --> 00:38:01.389
hearing it. But does it make a playlist like

00:38:01.389 --> 00:38:04.360
this? I don't know. I like that you went with

00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:06.780
Ronda Rousey because of that connection to Rowdy

00:38:06.780 --> 00:38:10.739
Piper. I loved the fact that she was channeling

00:38:10.739 --> 00:38:13.659
that character moving forward. I loved that in

00:38:13.659 --> 00:38:15.960
the beginning, Roddy was involved a little bit.

00:38:16.059 --> 00:38:18.920
To me, that was like passing the torch. So if

00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:22.260
she was Roddy approved, she was Brian approved.

00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:26.679
And I really loved that first run. And I'll admit

00:38:26.679 --> 00:38:29.699
the second run left a lot to be desired. And

00:38:29.699 --> 00:38:31.739
I hope she gets a chance and an opportunity.

00:38:32.599 --> 00:38:34.539
to make it up with a third run, because there's

00:38:34.539 --> 00:38:37.239
a lot of matches that I think with this current

00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:41.760
crop of female wrestlers in the WWE, I could

00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:45.179
see some fantastic matches. If she gives it,

00:38:45.219 --> 00:38:48.159
she wanted to be there during the first run and

00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:51.159
you felt it. The second run, I felt like she

00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:54.420
was there to get paid and she was checking out

00:38:54.420 --> 00:38:57.599
a lot of it. And I think that's where a lot of

00:38:57.599 --> 00:39:00.460
the bad blood comes from because wrestling fans.

00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:03.739
are very quick to sniff out when somebody's there

00:39:03.739 --> 00:39:07.260
to cash a paycheck versus if they're there to

00:39:07.260 --> 00:39:09.380
actually do the sport. I think that's why a lot

00:39:09.380 --> 00:39:14.420
of people are so mixed about Logan Paul, because

00:39:14.420 --> 00:39:17.760
a lot of people don't like him as a person, but

00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:20.639
it's so hard to deny that he's putting it out

00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:22.780
there in the ring and he's putting on matches

00:39:22.780 --> 00:39:26.150
that even though I don't like him. You're sitting

00:39:26.150 --> 00:39:28.329
there going, oh, but that was like such a great

00:39:28.329 --> 00:39:33.230
spot. I can't hate the dude. Like he is laying

00:39:33.230 --> 00:39:36.409
it out there and he's not phoning it in like

00:39:36.409 --> 00:39:39.309
some of the other celebrity appearances throughout

00:39:39.309 --> 00:39:41.789
the years. So I got to give credit where credit's

00:39:41.789 --> 00:39:45.230
due there. But holy shit, we got two songs left

00:39:45.230 --> 00:39:50.190
and I don't even know where to begin here. Thankfully.

00:39:51.389 --> 00:39:53.530
the oddities never appeared at WrestleMania.

00:39:53.630 --> 00:39:58.590
So I could skip my insane clown posse pig. But

00:39:58.590 --> 00:40:04.289
I am, I'm struggling because we mentioned an

00:40:04.289 --> 00:40:06.369
artist earlier and I didn't talk about this.

00:40:06.449 --> 00:40:08.650
So I do want to bring it up. Sexy boy was written

00:40:08.650 --> 00:40:11.690
by JJ McGuire and Jimmy Hart. So mouth of the

00:40:11.690 --> 00:40:15.050
South was part of that. I wanted to bring up

00:40:15.050 --> 00:40:17.289
and mention mouth of the South at some point,

00:40:17.389 --> 00:40:19.929
because he was also responsible for a lot of

00:40:19.929 --> 00:40:22.409
the early. wrestling stuff. So I was thinking

00:40:22.409 --> 00:40:24.869
about going with the honky -tonk man's cool,

00:40:24.909 --> 00:40:30.030
cocky, and bad. Excellent. But I loved the honky

00:40:30.030 --> 00:40:32.289
-tonk man for the fact that he was a heel that

00:40:32.289 --> 00:40:35.630
you just loved to hate. His squash match against

00:40:35.630 --> 00:40:38.349
the Ultimate Warrior in SummerSlam was one of

00:40:38.349 --> 00:40:40.949
my proudest moments as a kid. I loved that moment.

00:40:41.010 --> 00:40:43.469
So I was never more happy for a squash match

00:40:43.469 --> 00:40:47.829
ever in my life. However, we're talking music

00:40:47.829 --> 00:40:52.440
here. Cool and cocky and bad is a fun song. However,

00:40:52.699 --> 00:40:56.119
I know we talked about Shawn Michaels and I know

00:40:56.119 --> 00:40:59.619
we talked about Triple H, but Chris Warren and

00:40:59.619 --> 00:41:04.119
Jim Johnson, are you ready? Yeah. D -Generation

00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:07.800
X is a song that I could rock out to whether

00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:10.280
I'm watching wrestling or it just comes on my

00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:13.519
playlist. I have it on my playlist. And then

00:41:13.519 --> 00:41:17.889
you take the fact that Run DMC. Did the Kings

00:41:17.889 --> 00:41:22.789
on the WWE aggression CD. The Kings of rock are

00:41:22.789 --> 00:41:26.750
tipping their hat to your theme song. You have

00:41:26.750 --> 00:41:28.969
nailed it. So I know we talked about them as

00:41:28.969 --> 00:41:33.110
separate entities, but D generation X. And I

00:41:33.110 --> 00:41:36.550
think about when Chris Warren performed it live

00:41:36.550 --> 00:41:39.449
at WrestleMania 14, when it was Shawn Michaels

00:41:39.449 --> 00:41:43.329
versus stone cold with Mike Tyson is the guest

00:41:43.329 --> 00:41:46.829
referee. Yeah. I mean, it has to be included.

00:41:47.429 --> 00:41:51.250
Yeah. Like I, it was definitely on my list as

00:41:51.250 --> 00:41:53.429
a contender and I thought about it for so long

00:41:53.429 --> 00:41:56.170
and I actually do listen to that song every now

00:41:56.170 --> 00:41:57.929
and again. Like I just put it on. It's so good.

00:41:58.409 --> 00:42:00.730
I remember that when I heard that for the first

00:42:00.730 --> 00:42:03.690
time, it was again, for me that my introduction

00:42:03.690 --> 00:42:08.429
into punk metal, I guess you would call it. And

00:42:08.429 --> 00:42:10.630
it's what led me to be such a big fan of somebody

00:42:10.630 --> 00:42:13.030
like Limp Bizkit. because that was kind of that

00:42:13.030 --> 00:42:15.829
similar type of genre, but it was maybe more

00:42:15.829 --> 00:42:19.150
TV friendly than what Limp Bizkit were putting

00:42:19.150 --> 00:42:21.250
out at the time. But again, another great symbol

00:42:21.250 --> 00:42:24.710
of the Attitude era. Like before that, we had

00:42:24.710 --> 00:42:26.869
exactly what you mentioned, the Honky Tonk Man.

00:42:27.030 --> 00:42:29.710
You could not get a further departure from theme

00:42:29.710 --> 00:42:33.210
music from Honky Tonk Man to break it down. That's

00:42:33.210 --> 00:42:36.630
ridiculous. But yet we had it in two or three

00:42:36.630 --> 00:42:38.949
years. That's insane. But it's a great addition

00:42:38.949 --> 00:42:42.670
to the mixtape for sure. This was 100 % on my

00:42:42.670 --> 00:42:45.110
list. So this is a great call. And there's so

00:42:45.110 --> 00:42:47.070
many incredible memories. And this is such a

00:42:47.070 --> 00:42:48.949
big part of my childhood. I was at that right

00:42:48.949 --> 00:42:50.849
age when it was just the coolest thing in the

00:42:50.849 --> 00:42:53.670
world to do the DX chops and say suck it to everybody

00:42:53.670 --> 00:42:56.530
that would cross your path. And anyone that was

00:42:56.530 --> 00:42:57.929
playing video games definitely got the chops.

00:42:58.190 --> 00:43:01.250
But it also made me think back to recently. We

00:43:01.250 --> 00:43:04.389
have a local indie show here called IWS. And

00:43:04.389 --> 00:43:06.449
this is somewhere where we'd seen Kevin Owens

00:43:06.449 --> 00:43:08.369
and other guys come up here in Montreal. We had

00:43:08.369 --> 00:43:10.670
a live band at the last show called the WrestleManiacs,

00:43:10.769 --> 00:43:12.869
and they played this live. And holy crap, does

00:43:12.869 --> 00:43:15.210
this get you hyped before an indie wrestling

00:43:15.210 --> 00:43:18.610
show? Man. So watching this live, and you can

00:43:18.610 --> 00:43:20.989
listen to it, obviously, anytime you want. Great,

00:43:21.050 --> 00:43:23.730
great choice. Yeah, I agree. And a good shout

00:43:23.730 --> 00:43:26.590
out for WWF Aggression. I remember that. I think

00:43:26.590 --> 00:43:28.389
that was the first CD I had that had swearing

00:43:28.389 --> 00:43:30.130
on it. I brought it over to Brad's house, and

00:43:30.130 --> 00:43:33.690
I felt really proud about that. And the Run DMC

00:43:33.690 --> 00:43:36.469
version is incredible, and that CD is underrated

00:43:36.469 --> 00:43:40.110
for sure. This D -Generation X theme, perfect

00:43:40.110 --> 00:43:42.530
time, like Brad said, for it to come out. I felt

00:43:42.530 --> 00:43:44.469
like I could conquer the world and screw everybody,

00:43:44.730 --> 00:43:47.630
chops for everybody. I do what I want. You listen

00:43:47.630 --> 00:43:51.730
to me. And yeah, it just perfectly encapsulates

00:43:51.730 --> 00:43:55.429
everything DX stands for. So yeah, it has to

00:43:55.429 --> 00:43:59.889
be there. Yeah, D -Generation X hit at a time

00:43:59.889 --> 00:44:02.840
when wrestling... I think for the first time

00:44:02.840 --> 00:44:05.559
in a little bit, merged it out of the counterculture

00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:07.800
and was part of the popular culture. Wrestling

00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:12.000
was cool. New metal was cool. Limp Bizkit was

00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:16.159
cool. Saying screw you to authority was cool.

00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:19.880
And all of that was D -Generation X. They were

00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:21.760
really, you know, you could talk about Austin.

00:44:21.900 --> 00:44:24.539
You could talk about The Rock, who hasn't come

00:44:24.539 --> 00:44:27.579
up at this point in time. You also have to talk

00:44:27.579 --> 00:44:29.659
about Degeneration X at the height of the Monday

00:44:29.659 --> 00:44:32.119
Night Wars. They were cause and mayhem. They

00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:35.260
were disregarding authority for lack of a nicer

00:44:35.260 --> 00:44:39.300
way to put it. And the theme song was part of

00:44:39.300 --> 00:44:43.699
what made them what they were. Well, Jason, with

00:44:43.699 --> 00:44:48.179
this, you are drawing the 30 spot in the Royal

00:44:48.179 --> 00:44:51.519
Rumble, maybe 31. This could be the 31st entry

00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:55.019
because you have a tough decision to make here.

00:44:55.559 --> 00:44:57.739
Because at the end of the day, there's one song

00:44:57.739 --> 00:45:00.900
left, and I can guarantee you that people are

00:45:00.900 --> 00:45:04.460
screaming at their stereos or their headphones

00:45:04.460 --> 00:45:07.199
if they're walking down the street for what they

00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:11.719
think that this last song should be. So you get

00:45:11.719 --> 00:45:14.280
to take us home. What are we closing with tonight?

00:45:14.860 --> 00:45:17.099
Well, I think I can guarantee that this song

00:45:17.099 --> 00:45:19.440
will probably make a lot of people mad. And that's

00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:22.280
not because it's a bad song, but because this

00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:24.400
particular wrestler has maybe done everything

00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:27.880
he could possibly do as of late to make his legacy

00:45:27.880 --> 00:45:31.940
worse and worse and worse. But he's still a real

00:45:31.940 --> 00:45:35.579
American. And he has real American beer, apparently.

00:45:35.840 --> 00:45:39.280
So I got to go with Hulk Hogan's theme, real

00:45:39.280 --> 00:45:41.960
American. And I know it sounds cheesy and corny

00:45:41.960 --> 00:45:44.139
and whatever, but... it passed the shower test

00:45:44.139 --> 00:45:46.039
for me and you know what like i i had like a

00:45:46.039 --> 00:45:49.000
surf i had a surface level feeling for this song

00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:50.699
like you hear it when he comes out yeah whatever

00:45:50.699 --> 00:45:53.099
hulk hogan but when you really listen to this

00:45:53.099 --> 00:45:56.320
song with the right amount of inspiration or

00:45:56.320 --> 00:46:00.079
drugs or whatever in the shower and you listen

00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:02.059
to the background vocals and everything is going

00:46:02.059 --> 00:46:05.179
on the way it builds And Cyndi Lauper actually

00:46:05.179 --> 00:46:07.679
has the background vocals on this track, which

00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:09.739
I only realized after listening to it for a couple

00:46:09.739 --> 00:46:11.139
of years. I'm like, oh, wait, that's that's I

00:46:11.139 --> 00:46:12.900
thought it was like an instrument, but it's her

00:46:12.900 --> 00:46:16.199
voice. Incredible voice on this. And also, this

00:46:16.199 --> 00:46:20.199
song was actually first used by Mike Rotundo

00:46:20.199 --> 00:46:23.699
and Barry Windham. Wow. Who were what was their

00:46:23.699 --> 00:46:27.139
name? Sure. The U .S. Express. They were a tag

00:46:27.139 --> 00:46:30.079
team. They had this because I think Hulk Hogan

00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:31.639
was coming out to something else. And then it's.

00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:33.039
they left and they're like, all right, let's

00:46:33.039 --> 00:46:34.800
give it to Hulk. And then it just went crazy

00:46:34.800 --> 00:46:37.199
from there. Like whatever you feel about Hulk

00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:40.179
Hogan, you cannot deny that he is wrestling without

00:46:40.179 --> 00:46:42.519
him. Maybe wrestling isn't what it is today.

00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:46.659
And this song is absolutely positively iconic.

00:46:46.760 --> 00:46:49.900
And how could you not have it on a WrestleMania

00:46:49.900 --> 00:46:54.440
playlist? I remember jumping up and down on my

00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:57.820
couch during WrestleMania three. It was one of

00:46:57.820 --> 00:47:01.440
the greatest childhood moments of my life. And

00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:05.940
in 1987, I was on a plane from New Jersey to

00:47:05.940 --> 00:47:08.320
California with my parents because my parents

00:47:08.320 --> 00:47:10.519
had tickets to the Super Bowl that year where

00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:13.039
the New York Giants played the Denver Broncos.

00:47:13.219 --> 00:47:15.820
Whoa. And we're on the plane and we're sitting

00:47:15.820 --> 00:47:20.800
in the first row of Coach. And there's a curtain

00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:24.219
that they close right in front of me. I am 10

00:47:24.219 --> 00:47:27.760
years old. I hear Hulk Hogan's voice right on

00:47:27.760 --> 00:47:31.980
the other side of the curtain. No. I go to peek

00:47:31.980 --> 00:47:35.059
my head through the, cause I'm 10. I go to peek

00:47:35.059 --> 00:47:39.260
my head through the curtain and like this stewardess

00:47:39.260 --> 00:47:41.280
comes right back and sits me down in the chair

00:47:41.280 --> 00:47:44.579
and says, you can't come up there. This is first

00:47:44.579 --> 00:47:47.659
class. And I'm like, that's Hulk Hogan. I was

00:47:47.659 --> 00:47:49.920
10. She kept saying, you're not allowed up in

00:47:49.920 --> 00:47:51.320
first class. You're not allowed up in first.

00:47:51.420 --> 00:47:55.539
So I spent the entire flight from New Jersey

00:47:55.539 --> 00:47:59.260
all the way to California. Trying to sneak up

00:47:59.260 --> 00:48:03.380
front. Finally, she comes back with a napkin

00:48:03.380 --> 00:48:06.559
and she goes, here, I got this signed for you.

00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:08.679
Now, please sit down for the rest of the flight.

00:48:08.900 --> 00:48:11.460
Hulk Hogan doesn't want to talk to anybody right

00:48:11.460 --> 00:48:20.099
now. He's tired. So I spent 36 years angry at

00:48:20.099 --> 00:48:25.480
Hulk Hogan. Fast forward to two years ago. I'm

00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:28.230
at a conference. And I'm wandering around the

00:48:28.230 --> 00:48:30.170
conference and this is a big conference that

00:48:30.170 --> 00:48:32.829
has a lot of celebrities at it and they do appearances.

00:48:33.150 --> 00:48:36.650
And I hear Hulk Hogan's there. I'm like, I need

00:48:36.650 --> 00:48:39.469
to fix this. So I went on my lunch break and

00:48:39.469 --> 00:48:42.449
I got online, you know, I waited however long

00:48:42.449 --> 00:48:44.469
it was probably a half hour wait. And I'm like,

00:48:44.550 --> 00:48:46.769
crap, I'm giving up my whole lunch break here,

00:48:46.809 --> 00:48:49.050
but I don't care. I finally get up to him and

00:48:49.050 --> 00:48:53.190
I said, Hulk, in 1987, I was 10 years old and

00:48:53.190 --> 00:48:55.880
I told him the whole story. And I'm like holding

00:48:55.880 --> 00:48:59.880
up the line. And I said, so I've waited 37 years

00:48:59.880 --> 00:49:05.539
to tell you this. It is so awesome how you slammed

00:49:05.539 --> 00:49:11.420
Andre the Giant. Everybody online started cracking

00:49:11.420 --> 00:49:14.039
up. He gave me like the big bro hug. And he's

00:49:14.039 --> 00:49:15.980
like, dude, he goes, I will tell you this right

00:49:15.980 --> 00:49:19.500
now. I would have never, ever, ever turned down

00:49:19.500 --> 00:49:23.239
a child that wanted to see me at the height of

00:49:23.239 --> 00:49:25.960
Hulkamania. That was everything I would have

00:49:25.960 --> 00:49:28.699
gotten in trouble with Vince had I done something

00:49:28.699 --> 00:49:33.440
like that. I apologize on behalf of those stewardesses.

00:49:33.480 --> 00:49:37.039
They gave me a Polaroid picture with them, and

00:49:37.039 --> 00:49:39.019
I got one on my phone. It was a really awesome

00:49:39.019 --> 00:49:43.400
moment. So as much as I try to leave all the

00:49:43.400 --> 00:49:45.679
politics out of the show, whatever people think,

00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:49.179
everyone can have their own thoughts. As a kid

00:49:49.179 --> 00:49:51.980
who didn't have Hulk Hogan as a hero for even...

00:49:52.199 --> 00:49:55.159
that much of a time. So I can't argue the pick.

00:49:55.519 --> 00:49:57.880
Yeah. I mean, great story, first of all. And

00:49:57.880 --> 00:50:01.239
I will also leave my personal and political opinions

00:50:01.239 --> 00:50:04.340
about the Hulkster aside because you cannot deny

00:50:04.340 --> 00:50:08.760
the impact he's had on the wrestling landscape.

00:50:09.239 --> 00:50:13.619
He was loved in Montreal and in Quebec. He was

00:50:13.619 --> 00:50:16.380
sheared every time. Like, you know, Montreal

00:50:16.380 --> 00:50:19.429
is known for its. Many minutes standing ovations

00:50:19.429 --> 00:50:22.170
most recently for Sami Zayn at Elimination Chamber

00:50:22.170 --> 00:50:25.010
2023 when he fought Roman Reigns. And Hulk got

00:50:25.010 --> 00:50:28.750
that same treatment. You can't say that the wrestling

00:50:28.750 --> 00:50:32.309
industry would be where it is without somebody

00:50:32.309 --> 00:50:35.949
like him. And that theme song was the superhero

00:50:35.949 --> 00:50:39.690
theme. It was the eat your vegetables and stay

00:50:39.690 --> 00:50:42.829
in school and don't do drugs. It was the squeaky

00:50:42.829 --> 00:50:46.929
clean baby face. theme and it wouldn't have been

00:50:46.929 --> 00:50:50.369
my pick uh if i were in jason's shoes but i understand

00:50:50.369 --> 00:50:53.090
why and i understand why you would think hey

00:50:53.090 --> 00:50:55.969
you still have to pay homage to his contribution

00:50:55.969 --> 00:50:59.250
even regardless of how you feel about the man

00:50:59.250 --> 00:51:03.250
as somebody who plays guitar i'm sitting thinking

00:51:03.250 --> 00:51:05.349
about this song and i can picture hulk hogan

00:51:05.349 --> 00:51:07.469
standing in front of the american flag pretending

00:51:07.469 --> 00:51:10.550
to play guitar and it's actually hilarious just

00:51:10.550 --> 00:51:13.090
looking at that video of him doing it but the

00:51:13.090 --> 00:51:15.849
the song is The song's a banger. It's absolute

00:51:15.849 --> 00:51:19.690
class. Again, as Brad mentioned, I'm Scottish.

00:51:20.010 --> 00:51:22.929
Funny that. I'm sitting here drinking lovely

00:51:22.929 --> 00:51:26.289
whiskey. Of course I am. But I still pop for

00:51:26.289 --> 00:51:28.510
that song because it's so good. I can't even

00:51:28.510 --> 00:51:32.269
really relate to it, but I pop to it. It's great.

00:51:32.650 --> 00:51:35.590
The guitar, everything about it and the backing

00:51:35.590 --> 00:51:38.750
vocals make it as well. So yeah, it's a great

00:51:38.750 --> 00:51:41.460
pick and it perfectly rounds off a mixtape. And

00:51:41.460 --> 00:51:44.000
I never understood why, because Hulk Hogan actually

00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:46.860
plays bass guitar in real life, why he didn't.

00:51:47.340 --> 00:51:49.960
like actually try to play the song in that video.

00:51:50.019 --> 00:51:52.659
And he kind of did the background dancers from

00:51:52.659 --> 00:51:56.099
the simply irresistible video by Robert Palmer,

00:51:56.159 --> 00:51:58.019
where they're just kind of flailing their hands

00:51:58.019 --> 00:52:01.980
or anyway, Brad. Great shot. I could, one of

00:52:01.980 --> 00:52:04.039
my earliest wrestling memories of all time is,

00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:05.940
is WrestleMania. I think it was nine WrestleMania

00:52:05.940 --> 00:52:08.679
nine. It was giant Gonzalez versus the undertaker.

00:52:08.699 --> 00:52:10.460
And luckily I was too young to understand because

00:52:10.460 --> 00:52:12.639
Brett Hart is my favorite wrestler of all time.

00:52:13.070 --> 00:52:14.909
And this WrestleMania wasn't very good for him

00:52:14.909 --> 00:52:17.070
because he loses to Yokozuna, who goes on to

00:52:17.070 --> 00:52:20.309
fight Hulk Hogan in the main event. And I got

00:52:20.309 --> 00:52:22.590
redemption because Hulk Hogan beats Yokozuna,

00:52:22.710 --> 00:52:25.869
wins the WWF Championship. And so one of my earliest

00:52:25.869 --> 00:52:28.789
wrestling memories ever is Hulk Hogan saving

00:52:28.789 --> 00:52:30.989
the day and bringing the championship back. Even

00:52:30.989 --> 00:52:33.429
if I wasn't American, I was fully on board and

00:52:33.429 --> 00:52:35.610
I felt American. I wanted to be American because

00:52:35.610 --> 00:52:38.070
of Hulk Hogan. So huge shout out. What a great

00:52:38.070 --> 00:52:41.969
choice. Rick. Derringer who also did the demolition

00:52:41.969 --> 00:52:45.550
theme. He did a lot of stuff with the WWF at

00:52:45.550 --> 00:52:47.949
the time that I had the pile driver cassette

00:52:47.949 --> 00:52:50.610
growing up with Hulk Hogan with the construction

00:52:50.610 --> 00:52:53.590
hat on, you know, like, but I, every one of those

00:52:53.590 --> 00:52:56.469
songs I could have included in this mix, but

00:52:56.469 --> 00:52:59.489
we only had 10 choices. We only scratched the

00:52:59.489 --> 00:53:02.429

.com to hear all the songs we've discussed in

this mix through the playlist embedded on the

00:53:51.059 --> 00:53:54.500
episode page. Now, before we wrap things up,

00:53:54.750 --> 00:53:57.530
Since I have the four jobbers here on the show,

00:53:57.750 --> 00:54:00.489
I'd be remiss if I didn't ask you each this question.

00:54:00.969 --> 00:54:04.190
Who is your favorite wrestling jobber of all

00:54:04.190 --> 00:54:08.829
time and why? Brad, we'll start with you. So

00:54:08.829 --> 00:54:10.469
I'll give a shout out to a video that I made

00:54:10.469 --> 00:54:12.829
not too long ago at the four jobbers on social

00:54:12.829 --> 00:54:15.230
media, on Instagram. Maybe he's not a jobber,

00:54:15.250 --> 00:54:16.869
but for us, he is. He's one of my boys. It's

00:54:16.869 --> 00:54:19.590
going to be Steve Blackman. This guy had the

00:54:19.590 --> 00:54:22.309
karate chops, the jujitsu chops, whatever, like

00:54:22.309 --> 00:54:25.590
the martial arts chops. He couldn't do a promo

00:54:25.590 --> 00:54:28.630
very well until he was with Al Snow. And then

00:54:28.630 --> 00:54:30.889
it was just all comedy. He just stayed serious.

00:54:30.949 --> 00:54:33.590
He smacked an alien with a kendo stick, all kinds

00:54:33.590 --> 00:54:35.530
of crazy stuff. So I'm going to go with Steve

00:54:35.530 --> 00:54:37.889
Blackman. He was always a true jobber. He's one

00:54:37.889 --> 00:54:40.489
of those guys that's never rose to the top. So

00:54:40.489 --> 00:54:42.909
I'll go with him. Jason. I'm going to go with,

00:54:42.969 --> 00:54:46.130
like, an obscure pick here. Hakushi. I don't

00:54:46.130 --> 00:54:48.789
know if you remember him from back in, like,

00:54:48.869 --> 00:54:52.489
95, 96. He had, like, the writing all over him.

00:54:52.650 --> 00:54:55.389
Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's how people, like, when

00:54:55.389 --> 00:54:57.150
I was a kid, I'm like, this guy is really cool.

00:54:57.230 --> 00:54:58.610
Like, what is that writing all over him? Is that

00:54:58.610 --> 00:55:00.369
real? Like, was it? He was also ahead of his

00:55:00.369 --> 00:55:02.570
time. He had, like, a high -flying, like, move

00:55:02.570 --> 00:55:05.030
set. He had two really good matches with Bret

00:55:05.030 --> 00:55:06.570
Hart. That's pretty much the highlight of his

00:55:06.570 --> 00:55:09.809
run in WWF. But he always stuck out to me. as

00:55:09.809 --> 00:55:11.789
a kid. And I've, I've done more research as I

00:55:11.789 --> 00:55:14.010
grew up and did a couple of videos on him. So

00:55:14.010 --> 00:55:16.130
he's one that I remember for sure. And he wasn't

00:55:16.130 --> 00:55:17.809
a jobber coming in obviously, but they turned

00:55:17.809 --> 00:55:19.710
him into a jobber pretty quickly. And then he

00:55:19.710 --> 00:55:22.190
actually tagged with maybe the best jobber of

00:55:22.190 --> 00:55:24.210
all time, Barry Horowitz, which was definitely

00:55:24.210 --> 00:55:29.449
the nail in the coffin for him. Ryan, I'm picking

00:55:29.449 --> 00:55:32.389
someone a little more modern. One thing I always

00:55:32.389 --> 00:55:35.650
appreciate about a jobber is someone who accepts.

00:55:36.320 --> 00:55:38.659
That this is this is their path and makes the

00:55:38.659 --> 00:55:42.699
most of it. And so my fellow four jobbers colleagues

00:55:42.699 --> 00:55:45.260
know who I'm going with here. It's the one man

00:55:45.260 --> 00:55:50.800
southern rock band. It's Heath Slater, who. It

00:55:50.800 --> 00:55:53.480
was easy to root for him to lose. He had a nice

00:55:53.480 --> 00:55:55.940
run where he would always come out and call out

00:55:55.940 --> 00:55:58.000
a legend. The legend would come and beat him

00:55:58.000 --> 00:56:00.099
soundly, but he was getting on television. And

00:56:00.099 --> 00:56:03.320
also a theme song I thought about briefly, including,

00:56:03.380 --> 00:56:05.139
but I'd have to go back and look if it ever made

00:56:05.139 --> 00:56:07.000
it to a WrestleMania. It probably didn't, but

00:56:07.000 --> 00:56:12.099
I'm just one man. That opening riff was iconic

00:56:12.099 --> 00:56:15.420
for him. He knew his role, he knew his lane,

00:56:15.559 --> 00:56:17.059
and he was excellent, and he's still active,

00:56:17.219 --> 00:56:20.380
I think, in TNA, if I'm not mistaken. So a shout

00:56:20.380 --> 00:56:24.159
-out to him. All right, Jordan? Well, you guys

00:56:24.159 --> 00:56:26.960
better stand back, because I've got a pretty

00:56:26.960 --> 00:56:30.460
good pick coming here. It is the Hurricane Shane

00:56:30.460 --> 00:56:34.340
Helms. I'm a big superhero guy and comic book

00:56:34.340 --> 00:56:38.420
guy, so the idea of having a superhero and wrestling

00:56:38.420 --> 00:56:41.320
at the same time, that was everything for me.

00:56:41.420 --> 00:56:44.550
It's a shame he didn't do... awful lot with that

00:56:44.550 --> 00:56:47.769
gimmick but he was also this like comedy kind

00:56:47.769 --> 00:56:50.590
of piece between other wrestlers and I loved

00:56:50.590 --> 00:56:54.030
that about him even if he wasn't the main event

00:56:54.030 --> 00:56:56.809
guy he was always there as the reporter Shane

00:56:56.809 --> 00:56:59.269
Helms in the background and I loved that he was

00:56:59.269 --> 00:57:02.369
just in amongst everybody else's business he

00:57:02.369 --> 00:57:04.590
did win some tag team gold at some point I think

00:57:04.590 --> 00:57:07.190
he might have won it with Kane actually I think

00:57:07.190 --> 00:57:11.179
that's right But yeah, he was a guy who had so

00:57:11.179 --> 00:57:13.800
much charisma and is still around in WWE today

00:57:13.800 --> 00:57:16.960
as a producer. So yeah, Shane Helms, the Hurricane,

00:57:17.340 --> 00:57:20.280
what a guy. And he beat The Rock. True. Yeah.

00:57:20.639 --> 00:57:22.679
Well, for me, because there's only one of me

00:57:22.679 --> 00:57:24.699
and there's four of you, I have to go with three.

00:57:24.719 --> 00:57:28.739
But I grew up watching WWF superstars of wrestling

00:57:28.739 --> 00:57:31.820
on Saturday mornings. So I grew up with the likes

00:57:31.820 --> 00:57:35.500
of Iron Mike Sharp. Steve Lombardi, otherwise

00:57:35.500 --> 00:57:39.260
known as the Brooklyn Brawler. And then my favorite,

00:57:39.300 --> 00:57:42.099
who probably would take the top prize for me,

00:57:42.260 --> 00:57:47.039
Leaping Lenny Poffo, who went on to become the

00:57:47.039 --> 00:57:50.340
genius. But he would always come out and read

00:57:50.340 --> 00:57:53.199
a poem about the person before they pummeled

00:57:53.199 --> 00:57:55.440
him into submission. And then when he became

00:57:55.440 --> 00:57:57.659
the genius, he actually had a little bit of like

00:57:57.659 --> 00:58:00.239
a mid -card run there. So you got to give him

00:58:00.239 --> 00:58:02.900
props. It wasn't like a big jump, but it was

00:58:02.900 --> 00:58:05.130
a... Better than getting pummeled every week,

00:58:05.130 --> 00:58:08.230
Jump. Some great choices, good shows. So with

00:58:08.230 --> 00:58:09.969
that, I'm not sure which one of you guys would

00:58:09.969 --> 00:58:12.329
like to take this, but please let my listeners

00:58:12.329 --> 00:58:14.250
know where they can learn more about The Four

00:58:14.250 --> 00:58:16.130
