Three Guys Around a Table and The Best Of…
The Best Of: Wrestling Intro Songs
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when a lawyer, an engineer, and a school superintendent walk into a frosty room and break into a debate about wrestling intro songs? It turns out, quite the entertaining spectacle! We humorously shift from the predictable college football banter to a passionate discussion about the most legendary entrance tracks in wrestling history. Our chat kicks off with a nod to the Road Warriors' iconic charge to Black Sabbath's "Iron Man," setting the stage for our animated journey through the soundtracks that defined wrestling eras from WWE to ECW.
No wrestling intro conversation would be complete without a salute to Sandman's unforgettable ECW entrances. Picture this: Sandman emerging from the crowd with his kendo stick, cigarette smoke trailing behind, and beers smashing against his head to the powerful chords of Metallica's "Enter Sandman." We share a laugh over his current resemblance to a possibly grizzled Walmart greeter and I get personal about how that same anthem became my own sports soundtrack. With a blend of nostalgia, laughter, and spirited camaraderie, we invite you to walk down memory lane and relive some of wrestling's most exhilarating intro moments.
three guys around a table and by three guys.
Speaker 3We're talking about three friends a lawyer, an engineer and a school superintendent and just like our personalities, our opinions vary and we certainly don't always agree.

We have around again professional wrestling, wrestling. Wrestling we're talking about professional wrestling tonight and we're going to be talking about intro songs. Now, guys, are we talking about songs only, or are we talking about the songs along with the videos that played later?

Speaker 1well, an old school for you is black and white, that's true. How old were you?
Speaker 3I'm not going. Gorgeous george and which, by the way, was a guy.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah. So I'm going back to the early 80s, when the Road Warriors first started out he said road, I thought road dog when the Road Warriors first started out, when they were still allowed to come out to songs that weren't produced by WWF. At the time they came out to Iron man by Black Sabbath.
Speaker 1I remember that.
Speaker 2When that first.
Speaker 1Look, we've had it. They're the best tag team ever, 100%. They were awesome.
Speaker 2Those shoulder pads coming in. And their later song in WWE was good too when it started off with oh, what a rush. And then it, you know, but old school iron man.
Speaker 1For me, road warriors, that would be number one for me yeah yeah, I got no complaints with it. Iron man's legit all right, chris no, you go ahead.
Speaker 3I did my one. I was talking to Greg, we're going around.
Sandman's Legendary Entrance in Wrestling
Speaker 1Mine's going to be ECW. Oh, you know, yeah, okay, I'm pulling a little ECW out, my favorite intro, and it was the total package for the intro. I have a feeling where you're going. It wasn't just the song, yeah, it was when Sandman came out. Yeah, oh, my E-C-W. He would come out to enter Sandman Yep, and he would just be some random place in the crowd, yep, with his stick Smoking a cigarette With his cigarette in his mouth. Kendo stick With his kendo stick in it and four or five beers on him.
Speaker 1And bashing himself in the head, it would start the song he would kiss the beers Fans would go crazy. He would drink a little bit of the beer. He'd pour the rest of it on it. Then he would take the can, smash it against his head, get his head start bleeding before the match even started. 100%.
Speaker 2Have you seen him lately?
Speaker 3Oh yeah, he looks like the guy that stands out here in front of.
Speaker 2Walmart asking for money. It's not good, but it might be him, it could be him. Fantastic intro Amazing, fantastic, ditto. That's a great one.
Speaker 1That was also my song when I came into close baseball games. Really, yep, I'll be darned.
Speaker 3So we're starting off with our all-time favorite, that's my favorite.
Speaker 1Yep, I'll be done. So we're starting off with our all-time favorite.
Speaker 3That's my favorite. Mine has to be more because, guys, I didn't watch wrestling back then.
Speaker 1Right, we've talked about this.
Speaker 3Mine has to be simply because I also like Lemmy Kilmeister a lot, it has to be Triple H, the Game.
Speaker 2That's really good. That's a good one.
Speaker 1Because that's like I am the Game.
Speaker 2You know the way I want to play.
Speaker 3It just gets you so pumped up Lemmy's screaming and you hear Motorhead just getting at it. It's so cool. It gets you jacked up, ready to go.
Speaker 1My favorite one about Triple H, though, is when some fan was getting on him in the front row and you know how he gets up there and he gets his water and he spits it up there. He spit it straight on these people. I mean damn on him right in the front row.
Speaker 3He spit it straight on these people I mean damn on them, right in the front row. I love it. That's when it was fun, right.
Speaker 1Yeah absolutely.
Speaker 2Well, I'm going to come in with Rick Mellon, our producer.
Speaker 1I talked to him this evening A little pregame. He's been quiet here lately. What's going on with that?
Speaker 2He's been listening and I told him about this topic.
Speaker 1It's because it's like 50 degrees in florida oh, he's like he's loving it. I'm in. I'm in for the winner I got my blubber.

Speaker 3Oh, Ric Flair wasn't though List number three.
Speaker 2The Brood when the Brood would come out and you know that their entrance was better than their wrestling.

Speaker 3Gangrel. I never think Gangrel was very good. Listen, we had the blood and the fangs and your Christian and Edge and all and you're.
Speaker 2Yeah, christian and Edge and all that when they were, you know but that was a good intro song.
Speaker 3I would play it for baseball when they were taking in for us.
Speaker 1That's cool, yeah, so this is actually my number two and it's solely because I find it so funny, all right, and it's one of Chris's favorite wrestlers.
Speaker 3Sexy boy.

Speaker 1That's interesting. This podcast just got uncomfortable.
Speaker 2It did Wow.
Speaker 1I'm going to have to start calling in from now on. It is one of two of the road dog Jesse James and Billy Gunn. Oh, you didn't know it's one of two, but when Billy Gunn was in a singles restaurant when he was Mr Okay. He was a proctologist man, mr Backside His intro song was hilarious. Yeah, he would say, I love to lick.
Speaker 2Mr Bottom. His intro song was hilarious. He would say I love the, I love the lick yeah.
Speaker 3Did you know that guy's still wrestling? I did not know, billy Gunn is still wrestling and he has had some Botox and some Buttox is all I gotta say he was terrible as a single. Never did anything, but he had a funny intro song. You mean this, yeah?

Speaker 3Oh yeah, Ho Train.
Speaker 2Come get on the Ho Train yeah there's nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 2He used to be Papa Shango, didn't he? Yeah, he did Back in the day.
Speaker 1My favorite thing of the Godfather is when he tried to get the Undertaker to get his hose to the fans. He Undertaker to get his hose to the fans. He was like we don't know what to do with this. You can have your choice of these high quality hoses.
Speaker 3But he never joined the Nation of Domination. That was weird. I'm going to throw out.

Speaker 3Of course we're talking about Stone Cold Steve Austin. I'm sorry, stone Cold Steve.
Speaker 1Austin and on the athlete's list of the top 50 songs yes, that is number one.
Speaker 3Really Okay. Well, it's the one you hear. It's so iconic. As soon as you hear it, you're like everybody's up and mine is from the exact same era.
Speaker 1Okay, the Rocks. If you smell.
Speaker 2The Rocks People went nuts as soon as that happened.
Speaker 1That's true, the Rocks and he was my favorite during that era.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, I was always a.
Speaker 1Rock guy and look, and that's the reason why I like, I mean, I like LA, not so much now, because he's a promo machine, just like the.
Speaker 3Rock was. Rock was the best. There was the best there ever will be. Yeah, he was unbelievable.
Speaker 2So I got to tell you a funny little.
Speaker 1Was the Rock better at promos than Dusty? I think he was, he was really good.
Speaker 3Dusty was amazing, but Rock was.
Speaker 2Who was. Let me tell you something Don't even bring up the American dream in this podcast. I've got a fun fact. So I saw this actually on TikTok or whatever.
Speaker 2Conan O'Brien had a writer that left the Conan O'Brien show at the time to go and write for WWE, and Conan tells the story that when he used to go into the writer's room at his show, he used to always just badger them, just to have fun with them, you know. And he used to say, uh, he used to go in and say, um, why don't you just go get a big glass of shut up juice? And so the writer heard it goes to WWE, tells it to the rock, and the rock comes out. And so the writer called Conan and says, hey, if you watch wrestling tonight, I just want you to know I stole one of your things. And so he did it, and the rock was like why don't you just have yourself a big glass of shut up juice? You know, conan thought it was the one of the greatest moments of his career and the Rock used his life.
Speaker 1Yeah, but the Rock was as good as there was at the time.
Speaker 2Amazing. All right, Chris, where are you at?
Speaker 3I have to go with D-Generation X.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1And the video added to it with the green laser.
Speaker 3No, oh, boom, boom, bow to the master.
Speaker 2That's true. Boom, boom, bring it down. That whole era was really good Absolutely Attitude era.

Speaker 3Bushwhackers have one Aye.
Speaker 1What did the British Bulldog Come out to?
Speaker 2It was like an English sounding Song with trumpets and stuff in it. I can hear it, but I can't the one that drove me crazy was who was the guy?
Speaker 1And I can't remember his name. You remember when Triple H first came out, he was trying to be this upright Hunter Hearst Helmsley. There was another guy similar to that, okay, who was kind of a pompous guy, almost like the Carson Drake.
Speaker 3I know exactly who you're talking about. I know exactly who you're talking about.
Speaker 1And he had a terrible song and I can't remember what his name is.
Speaker 3I know exactly who you're talking about. He was British Yep and I'm trying to think Steven Riegel, steven Riegel.

Speaker 1That's it. It was Steven Riegel.
Speaker 2That's it, yep, yep I. What about?
Speaker 1I can't believe you didn't say Freya the Slayer as your favorite.
Speaker 3That's true. You know what Ryan Van Rocker is pretty awesome.
Speaker 2We didn't mention Goldust, another member of the family.
Speaker 1Terrible.
Speaker 2What about Goldberg?
Speaker 3I don't remember his.
Speaker 2I never watched WCW. This was kind of low bassy yeah.
Speaker 1What about Gilbert?
Speaker 2I thought Gilbert had of Goldberg. Yeah, that's that's. I guess that's reasonable, do you know?
Speaker 1Goldberg won a title in four decades Are you sure? I saw it on wrestling on Monday night. He he won one in the eighties, one in the nineties two thousand or no, maybe it's nineties. One in the 90s, 2000 or no, maybe it's 90s, 2010s. And did he win one in 2020? It said he won it in four decades.
Speaker 2I remember when he won the first one, when he beat Hulk Hogan did that dude ever lose seriously, but eventually?
Speaker 3he did. He had a terrible finishing move, though now it's pretty good, the spear no that wasn't the finishing move.
Speaker 1That was, that was like the big leg or that was like that triple leg drop, that was like the three punches yeah, it was a, it was a suplex, they turned into a power. Okay, yeah, okay so that was the equivalent of hogan's big boot. After he punched, after he every, every had ended the same, he punched him three times, threw him into the ropes. Big boot, triple leg drop Terrible.
Speaker 2Go back to January of 1984 when Hulk Hogan won the title from the Iron Sheik. If you ever have a chance to watch the highlights of the match, the Sheik's got him in the camel clutch right.
Speaker 2The what Hogan gets up to watch the highlights of the match. Okay, the sheiks got him in the camel clutch, right? Yeah? And so Hogan gets up and and backs him into the corner and slams him into the turnbuckle and then goes and drops the leg on him and then pins him. It was, there was nothing else. He backed him into the corner. Boom Dropped the big leg and it was over.
Speaker 1When you dropped that double leg it was over. It was over.
Speaker 3You know who else had a pretty good one. It was Ken Shamrock. Ken Shamrock had a pretty good one as soon as he came over from UFC.
Speaker 1Ken Shamrock was one of the baddest people to be in wrestling.
Speaker 3He had a little bit of crazy going on.
Speaker 1He used to nut job dude, but in UFC he kicked everybody's ass.
Speaker 2How about that Steve Blackman guy, the martial artist? Do you remember him?
Speaker 3Oh you know who else had a pretty good one JBL.
Speaker 1JBL had a pretty good one. You know who else had a pretty good one? Mick Foley. I don't know which one we're talking about.
Speaker 2He had like 78. Bang bang. We are the nation of domination.
Speaker 3The best thing with the nation of domination is when the Rock is sitting there rolling his eyes and Ron Simmons is back there talking and he's like that's what made the Rock so amazing.
Speaker 1So not to completely change topics, but what do you think about Raw and Netflix? It's way more commercialized now. If you look at the ring, it's got advertisements yeah all over it I.
Speaker 2I think that the um, I don't know if it's just because it's on netflix, but the matches seem to go an inordinate amount of time. Last week it's three, it's over three hours yeah, and last week they had four matches, yeah, um you know, that's it. Yeah, and there was a lot of filler in between and you know, um, I think they need to turn it up a notch I think they need to, and I hate to say this, but I think they need some better writing.
Speaker 3They're they're getting lost in too much of the bloodline and what I don't.
Speaker 1There's nothing else going on and the bloodline storyline's kind of gone away because roman's out right now yeah but I don't like how they have a certain group on Monday and a certain group on Friday.
Speaker 3Well, they're trying to do like they did with Raw and SmackDown.
Speaker 1But the thing about it is is you've got really good wrestlers on Friday who aren't getting that attention. That Netflix is giving, I mean like you, and I have had this conversation. Jey Uso is the hottest one in wrestling right now. He's going to beat Gunther. Yep, gunther he is. He's going to beat him at WrestleMania.
Speaker 2And that's a crock. Gunther shouldn't lose to anybody. That dude is a beast.
Speaker 1He's going to win. Yep, they're going to put him over.
Speaker 2Yep.
Speaker 1I think they should have put LA Knight over Yep, should have put la night over yep. Uh, but like he's, he's not on monday night raw. He's on smackdown and on the on the lesser show.
Speaker 2Obviously yep and, but, but crab loves that dude, yeah have you ever seen pictures of gunther from a few years ago? Gunther, I should say, where was he wrestling um when he was first in wd? He was a.
Speaker 3He was a large what was his name originally? What was his name originally?
Speaker 2they changed it on him, Not that I'm aware of, but he's always been a really good wrestler, but now I mean he's a beast. Did you see?
Speaker 1him on Raw on Monday night when he walked down through the fan. This little kid's got this yeet shirt on him.
Speaker 3He's like out of my way. Hey, I forgot of another good new song, new intro song. Val Venus.
Speaker 2Oh yeah.
Speaker 3Hey ladies.
Speaker 1I always thought he was weird.
Speaker 3I'm sorry, he wore a towel down to the ring and I got another one Too. Cool Too Cool, scotty Too Hotty Remember when they got Rikishi to dance, with them doing their little dance, wasn't that?
Speaker 2Jerry Lawler's kid Jerry Lawler's kid, christopher Lawler. Yeah, brian Christopher, or whatever, yeah.
Speaker 3But remember Scotty, too Hotty would do the worm in front of them.
Speaker 1Oh, yeah, they get Rikishi to dance Worst finishing move ever. Oh yeah, the worm was the worm.
Speaker 3Other than the pump handle. The pump handle is where it's at. You pump handle is where it's at and you know it. Most of the time it was the extra pump handle too.
Speaker 2Another classic, great intro song with no words Roddy Piper, when he came out to Bagpipes, I mean because he was just like the best heel of all time, and don't even try to argue with me on that. What was Brutus beefcakes?
Speaker 3Did he even have one? Um, I don't know, was it like like the snipping of scissors or something, or what? Edward Clippers, I thought we heard.
Speaker 1Hey, greg Dahmer, valentine's should have been like uh, I love you.
Speaker 2That's so good. Oh, that's great. Alright, so I think we've about. You know, scotty, too Hotty. I think we've done A pretty good job on.
Speaker 1That Is Scotty Too Hotty From Limerick.
Speaker 2No, but you know who is. I do know who Al Snow baby.
Speaker 1That was a pretty good intro too. 100% what does everybody want?
Speaker 2And the only reason we didn't talk about him was because of you and Lima, because I cannot go back.
Speaker 3I mean, it's unbelievable. I told you I think it's December and we can go back. December of 25?, 25. Or not 26. It will have been two years, yeah, wow.
