IoMP 113: Metal Songs That Would Make Perfect Wrestling Themes
A wrestler can botch every move in the ring—but if their theme hits just right, the crowd will lose their damn minds anyway. That’s the power of a great entrance, and it’s exactly why this episode exists.
In this episode of the Influencers of Metal Podcast, Collin and Tom dive headfirst back into the beautiful chaos where metal meets professional wrestling, breaking down why entrance music is one of the most underrated storytelling tools in the sport.
Inspired by iconic walkouts (yes, Glorious Bobby Roode absolutely comes up), the duo set out to answer a simple but dangerous question: What metal songs would make perfect wrestling themes?
Each host brings three carefully chosen songs and builds full wrestling personas around them—heroic babyfaces, war-hardened soldiers, gothic villains consumed by despair, dominant champions, and anti-heroes returning from the shadows. This isn’t just a list of songs—it’s full-blown fantasy booking, complete with character arcs, crowd reactions, and “oh damn, I can actually see this” moments.
If you’re the kind of fan who’s ever imagined your own entrance theme… If you’ve argued that a theme song matters more than half the roster… If you’ve ever heard a metal song and thought “this would go insane in an arena”… This episode was made for you.
Hit play, turn it up, and start booking entrances in your head like the rest of us.
