"Yakety Sax" aka the famous music from The Benny Hill Show.

My wrestling style is just running away from my opponent in comically high speed.

In my head it's Street life, but in reality it's going to be Entry of the Gladiators

I've got a concept for a wrestling tag team of a couple of black-hat villains who escaped from a silent movie. They wear old-timey muscle man singlets under swooshy blacks capes, have handlebar mustaches, work out with spherical dumbbells, and they're always tying people to train tracks or saw mill logs and trying to steal the deed to wrestling.

So probably like silent movie piano jazz.

Bah Gawd! It sounds like Satan himself falling down the stairs! That's SKULLGRID'S ENTRENCE MUSIC!

Just to make sure at least half the audience flees the arena with acute PTSD:
Dim the lights, fog up the hall, release a bag of bats and blast

I'm not a wrestling fan, so I'm going on the assumption that I can pick a truly obnoxious song for trolling purposes, especially if I'm the scripted asshole.

Which is all to say I choose Smash Mouth's "Come On Come On", specifically the chorus.

Cbat by Hudson Mohawke, and I'm a heel themed around that one Reddit post from the API before-times.

Lightning Bolt - Blow to the Head

a lot of songs by this band could work, they're so chaotic and violent!

[–] flabbergast@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

When we had home games in high school, varsity players could play an intro song over the PA.

I went with the intro to The Salt in Our Wounds- Thulsa Doom Remix by HIM.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AvQBU9PMuHY

I was super-heavyweight, so I was always the last match. That was my final-boss theme. I thought I was such a badass.

Edit: my best friend at the time, who was undefeated since 8th grade, went with the choral part of the greatest man who ever lived by Weezer. It was funny every time.

[–] Stache_@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Oh hell yeah, I love me some HIM!

I’d use a song specifically for my fans. A song that would tell them that I appreciate them so much that I wouldn’t ever give them up. That I wouldn’t make them cry or say goodbye.

Or I would just go with this one

Petplay by Puppygirl

I'm gonna drop my opponent off the top of the cage and right onto the announcers table. And promptly follow them because of the leash.

Deftones My Own Summer

Whitechapel - Devolver - I'm actually surprised no one has used it for any type of entrance anywhere. It's got the little splash of sound in the beginning. You get two measures of this chugging guitar, then Phil kicks in and it's perfect. It's a fast song. The lyrics are the opposite of motivational but if you're a heel it doesn't matter. I would use this for baseball. I would use this for Football. It's practically made for wrestling.

FYI turning game music off and queuing AC/DC is pretty sweet. Thunderstruck is a great drop in song.
