Do you have fond memories of the original brand split? Do you pine for episodes of Velocity or WWE Experience? Do you miss Heidenreich and his poetry? Then this episode of Music of the Mat is for you!

With the help of their brand new Theme Machine 2017, Chris and Andrew have their first theme shuffle episode, where they play a random assortment of wrestling themes from WWE’s Ruthless Aggression era (2002-2008). You can bet that Chris and Andrew have an absolute blast discussing the themes from this time period in WWE, but which ones? Will it be Mark Jindrak’s theme? Simon Dean’s? Kevin Thorn’s? Only one thing is for sure: HEIDENREICH!!!
