With WrestleMania 37 only a few days away, WWE Superstar Mark Andrews, who is also a musician, has been discussing the importance of entrance music and the impact it can have on performances in the ring.
\nWWE\u2019s sports entertainment pop-culture extravaganza, which takes place this coming Saturday and Sunday night, is available to livestream via WWE Network in the MENA region.
\nAndrews, who has performed on shows such as 205 Live and WWE NXT, is a former Tag Team Champion, and he admits every Superstar dreams of making their entrance at WrestleMania, WWE\u2019s biggest event of the year.
\n\u201cI definitely have thought about the big WrestleMania entrance,\u201d says Andrews. \u201cThe band is playing, fireworks are going off, everyone is going crazy, and I\u2019m sure every wrestler has thought the same because that\u2019s the grand stage, the grandest stage of them all. It\u2019s the peak of the year in wrestling and the peak of some people\u2019s careers.
\n\u201cWhether it\u2019s Triple H entering to Motorhead or The Undertaker entering to Limp Bizkit, everybody wants that big entrance and there\u2019s nothing cooler than a rock band playing your entrance music. To mix live music and live wrestling, on the biggest stage of them all, there\u2019s nothing better than that, and every wrestler dreams of that big WrestleMania entrance.\u201d
\nAndrews, who combines his wrestling career with a passion for music as part of pop-punk outfit Junior, is in a unique position in that he performs his own entrance music, meaning he is well placed to discuss the impact it can have on performance.
\n\u201cI think entrance music is one of the most important things for any wrestler in terms of their whole act. It gets you psyched up before a match and I think whatever is getting you psyched up, as you\u2019re walking to the ring, is also going to get the fans psyched up.
\n\u201cIn the past, I\u2019ve entered to music which I didn\u2019t like, or it didn\u2019t resonate with me, so by the time you get to the ring you feel flat. With my current music, which I\u2019m obviously very biased towards as I\u2019m literally singing the song, I get super excited. Before I get to the curtain I\u2019m excited and the nerves are high, I feel the adrenaline and by the time I get in the ring it feels like a massive party for the fans.
\n\u201cI\u2019m sure each wrestler has their own equivalent of that, whether it feels like a party or whether it feels dead serious. For example, The Undertaker\u2019s music is one of the most serious in the whole wrestling industry so it would feel weird seeing him enter the ring with something else playing.
\n\u201cI just think the music\u2019s so important because it\u2019s a reason to get excited about the match. For me personally, it gets me hyped up and makes me feel at home in the ring.\u201d
