The Pirate Princess has returned home! In light of this weekend’s news that Kairi Hojo (Kairi Sane to you WWE people) has returned to World Wonder Ring Stardom, I thought it only fitting to take a look at the theme she used before setting off to sail the world back in 2017. Born in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Kairi grew up as […]
This week in the stereo on the roadtrip we’ve got Hammer Man on. Why? Because Monday is Greg Valentine’s Day of course! After many years, this was released in 2015 on the WWE: The Federation Era album. Some may say I’m posting this one a little early given that Valentine’s Day isn’t until Monday. This is your reminder that it’s […]
It’s January 26 which is currently recognised as Australia Day and that brings with it a debate about the appropriateness of recognising a national day on that specific day. A wrestling music post isn’t really the place to have that debate – but you can read about it here. A music post is the place to post music and due […]
The Undertaker has had many themes over the years. From Jim Johnston productions like You’re Gonna Pay, Deadman Walkin’ and the iconic Graveyard Symphony to licensed songs like Kid Rock’s American Bad Ass and Limp Bizkit’s Rollin’. This week we’ll take a look at Ministry by Johnston. It was released as Ministry on WWF The Music Volume 4 in 1999, […]
I’m not a rap guy. But you know who is? KENTA! After reading a discussion on music opinions, a lot of people don’t like rap. I’ve always been of this mindset myself but was happy to make exceptions for certain tracks. (Like this one). This past year I’ve been a bit more open and actually listened to some more of […]
We could probably have a month of Roadtrip Music posts each week discussing the various memorable themes Keiji Mutoh has had over the years. It took a little while to decide, but we have gone with “Trans Magic,” one of the killer tunes he used in All Japan Pro Wrestling. It was also his 59th birthday recently (December 23), so […]
Uhhh…. what? Yes, Bob “Hardcore” Holly once used this as entrance music. Prior to becoming a race car driver (he once did actually have a shoot job as a mechanic), Bombastic Bob was “Hollywood” Bob Holly. He used the “Hollywood” moniker while wrestling as a heel for Roadshow-darling Smoky Mountain Wrestling when it started in 1991. The character was obviously […]
December 8 will be Chigusa Nagayo’s 57th birthday and as we’ve just taken a look at Lioness Asuka’s WWF appearance at Survivor Series 1995 on the podcast – what better time than to do a Crush Gals music post? If you listened to the podcast you would know I’m a fan of the pair and Chigusa in particular. The Crush […]
This week (tomorrow as of writing) wrestling legend Jerry “The King” Lawler will be celebrating his 72nd birthday. A wrestler reaching 72 is unfortunately a little rare given the rigours of the trade, but Lawler is an exceptional case in that he’s still wrestling and is still in reasonably good shape. Lawler made his debut in 1970, which means this […]
