Note: This was written prior to AEW Full Gear – this is not a spoiler. Today is AEW’s last PPV event for 2021, Full Gear. It may mark the culmination of Hangman Page’s two year journey to claim the World title, or it may be yet another chapter in that book. In the main event of Full Gear, Page takes […]
It was Greg’s birthday this past week and we’ll celebrate on the Roadtrip Music series with one of his favourite themes. You may have expected something else when you clicked Jeff Jarrett theme. In 1997, the WWF licensed the National Wrestling Alliance trademarks and brought a presence into the company from the once-opposition group. The angle started when Jim Cornette […]
Well it’s Halloween weekend and we are getting into it here on the Roadshow. We’ve got the Halloween edition of the podcast on the way and we’re taking a Halloween themed roadtrip here. Music for trick-or-treating perhaps? Heads Will Roll by American band Yeah Yeah Yeahs has become a staple of Halloween playlists over the years. The dance-rock/synth-pop track is […]
Well we’re back with the music series after somewhat of an actual roadtrip. Luckily there’s a website with a series of music posts that can provide entertainment for a road trip based loosely on the name of the site. This week the focus is on Adam Cole (BAY BAY) and his new AEW theme. Adam Cole was an indy darling […]
Early-to-mid 1990s WCW music is a different breed. From Steinerized to Simply Ravishing, American Made to American Males (…American males). It’s certainly a unique flavour. Today we take a look at one of the more famous themes from this time – Man Called Sting. The song appears on the WCW Slam Jam 1 album released in 1992 and author credits […]
This weekend the G1 Climax kicks off, and it’s an occasion that ranks right up there with Wrestle Kingdom as one of the best times of year. (I guess Christmas just edges into the top ten). It’s New Japan Pro Wrestling’s annual round-robin tournament and is regarded as the most grueling tournament in wrestling. The month-long tournament involves two blocks […]
Apologies for the lack of a podcast, I’ve been a bit crook (it’s not the COVID) and unable to speak for an hour straight (though some may argue I lack the ability to do it well while healthy anyway…) but to make up for it, here’s a special extra edition of the Roadtrip Music series. Of course this is for […]
As of writing there is a lot of talk in the wrestling news about the potential for CM Punk to return to wrestling after a seven year hiatus. Ten years ago he delivered what is known as the ‘pipe bomb’ promo. A worked shoot in which he went after John Cena and Vince McMahon that led into the acclaimed WWE […]
This week we are remembering Bobby Eaton who unfortunately passed away on August 4 at the age of 62. Eaton is famous for being half of (alongside Dennis Condrey and later Stan Lane) one of the greatest tag teams of all time, The Midnight Express. Throw in Jim Cornette as manager and you’ve got a team that was the complete […]
Rock ‘n’ wrestling was the driving force behind Vince McMahon’s expansion (and world domination plans) of the World Wrestling Federation. However, he by no means had any exclusivity in the idea. Throughout the 80s around the territories wrestlers were embracing the idea of entrance music and quite often this was rock and roll. Some territories shot promotional videos of their […]
