On this episode of Music of the Mat, Andrew is joined for the first time by Mike Falcone to discuss the themes of Jerry Lynn! One of the most prolific wrestlers of all time, Jerry's 25-year career took him all around the world to practically every major modern wrestling company, including WWF, WCW, ECW, TNA, ROH, NJPW, CMLL, Michinoku Pro, AWA, GWF, countless indies, and currently AEW as a coach. Andrew and Mike talk about Jerry's love for death metal and how it was reflected in his themes, his legacy as an influential and universally beloved figure in wrestling, his famous feuds with Sean Waltman and Rob Van Dam, the creativity (or lack thereof) with the Mr. JL name in WCW, and more!

"HE'S GONNA RACK HIM!" On this episode of Music of the Mat, Andrew is joined for the first time by former Voices of Wrestling podcaster Drew Wardlaw (Burning Spirits) to discuss the themes and career of "The Total Package" Lex Luger. Luger is one of Drew's all-time favorite wrestlers and he is here to break down the songs that defined Luger's memorable (for reasons good and bad) career. Andrew and Drew go on a musical muscular journey through the days of Luger's time in the NWA, his short run as "The Narcissist" in WWF, the failed mega-push as "Made in the USA" Lex Luger, his return to WCW, and more. So hop aboard the Lex Express, strike up a beefy pose in front of a full-length mirror, and enjoy this episode!

On this episode of Music of the Mat, Andrew is joined once again by JoJo Remy (Voices of Wrestling) to discuss the themes of KENTA! Currently in New Japan, KENTA was a longtime mainstay in Pro Wrestling NOAH, both as a singles star and as a tag partner with Naomichi Marufuji. After a disappointing run as Hideo Itami in WWE, KENTA returned to Japan, this time with NJPW where he joined Bullet Club. Andrew and JoJo discuss KENTA's legacy in the ring, his at-times bumpy career and ability to adapt, and of course his many entrance themes (some of which are definitely NSFW).

It's Tuesday, you know what that means. On this episode of Music of the Mat, Andrew is joined by pro wrestler Colin Delaney to discuss the themes, career, and life of the late great Jon Huber, a.k.a. Brodie Lee. Colin and Brodie were longtime friends going back to their days as young backyard wrestlers in Rochester, NY, lasting all the way up to Brodie's untimely and tragic passing at the age of 41 in December 2020. Andrew and Colin cover the major hits of Brodie's career, including the "Right Stuff" gimmick, his pivotal transformation into "The Big Rig," his days as Wyatt Family member Luke Harper in WWE, and of course his final role as "The Exalted One" Mr. Brodie Lee in AEW. Colin also shares some fun details about Brodie's taste in music and the McDonald's sandwich that inspired a tag team name. This is a heartfelt, must-listen episode about a wonderful man and the legacy that he left behind.
