Here on the Roadshow we like to look at wrestling through the rear view mirror. Well lets go all the way back to April 2023 and take a look at WrestleMania 39 and it’s theme song. Long-time emperor of the WWE Vince McMahon was embroiled in some paralegal issues in 2022 CE and as a result of the scandal he […]
It’s Rumble season and we’re not just stopping at a podcast episode. This week on the Roadtrip we’re taking a look not at a wrestler theme but an event theme. The year is 2004, we’re well and truly entrenched in the brand split. The titles had been split up and both Raw and Smackdown were pretty isolated. They came together […]
Something a little different today as we deviate from the standard entrance music. I was recently talking with my old friend Kyle from the Game Surgeons Podcast about wrestlers in film and television. In the modern times John Cena and The Rock have made quite a good second career out of acting with The Rock becoming one of the highest […]
Happy new year! As the clock rolls over there are many ways to celebrate. You could for instance, stay up late and watch the pyro display. Or you could wake up early and catch the first sunrise of the year (a Japanese custom known as hatsu hinode, something that I’ve found is a lot easier in the northern hemisphere during […]
Well after last week’s brush with the mainstream – I needed to keep to form with some obscure Japanese indy stuff. I don’t know the name of the song. I don’t know the artist. But what I do know is that this theme slaps! I also know a little about the guy who uses it so while we’re here… Ayato […]
I’ve recently decided to give the modern WWE product a go after last dropping it in 2018, based on a combination of the children that run the other show and that recent farce, Ariel Helwani and Jim Cornette both giving the current product favourable reviews, and realising I have access to the weekly shows included with Kayo. One of the […]
Well the Roadtrip Music series is back and for the comeback edition, I’d like to highlight someone who has just recently made an incredible comeback. Jungle Kyona! A Fuka-era Stardom trainee, Kyona began her career in World Wonder Ring Stardom in 2015. Her name “Jungle” Kyona draws on time she spent in the African nation of Senegal prior to becoming […]
‘Tis the season! G1 season, that is. This past weekend New Japan Pro Wrestling kicked off the 32nd annual G1 Climax tournament. In recent years NJPW has used licensed music as the main theme for the tournament. We’ve covered the 2018 theme in this series. But throughout the event the promotion has used a bumper theme that over time has […]
Well it has been a while but we are back on the road and need some tunes to suit. How about this banger from the peak days of WCW? Though not really looked back on too fondly after the fact (though that seems to be changing slightly) – Lex Luger was a bona fide star in 1997. The New World […]
Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby Soho! This week after AEW‘s Double or Nothing PPV (in which we went bust with nothing on the podcast version due to technical difficulties but I digress), the destination is known as we take a look at what was one of the highlights of the 47 hour long event. Back at All Out in September last […]
