Is this thing on? Music of the Mat rises from its slumber with a remixed format. Instead of analyzing wrestling songs, Andrew and a guest will play and chat about songs related to a wrestling concept, term, reference, pun, etc. Yes, it really is that simple. Andrew explains the reason behind the big change, then gets down to business with returning guest and absolute delight Maura Johnston. Together they tackle the topic of "in-ring debuts," playing songs off debut albums from Aerosmith, Madonna, The Killers, Oasis, George Michael, Neneh Cherry, Living Colour, and many more. It's over 2 hours of potent fun that will have you raising the roof like Ultimo Guerrero!
