Hi Everyone!

I'm always grateful to have written with It Lives, It Breathes on Brian Myers entrance theme The Ride and the with legendary Downstait to collaborate on Matt Cardona and Brian Myers tag team theme Major Players was another dream come true. Brian Myers and I finally have a conversation, on camera, for y'all to talk about entrance themes.

Brian Myers joins me on this episode to talk about our collaboration on his entrance theme The Ride and Major Players, as well as discuss his themes over the course of his career from TNA to WWE as Curt Hawkins, Brian Myers, and The System.

We also talk about how his and Matt Cardona fka Zack Ryder battled to have a different entrance theme during their tag team time in WWE and how he feels their theme impacted their run.

We also discuss how he talks about entrance themes with his students at Create A Pro Wrestling.

We also play our favorite game on the show, Music City Rumble, and Brian Myers names the musicians he'd book in a wrestling match: one men's match, one women's match, and one tag team match!

Enjoy!
