You think you know us? In this episode of Music of the Mat, Chris and Andrew discuss the theme history of one of their favorite tag teams: Edge & Christian!

A wildly popular duo of wrestlers (both as a team and as singles competitors), the “Rated R Superstar” and “Captain Charisma” are no strangers to having iconic themes. Chris and Andrew dive deep into the electric riffs of “On the Edge,” the operatic pomposity of “At Last,” the aggressive guitar thrusts of “Metalingus,” the stirring female vocals of “Just Close Your Eyes,” and plenty more. Break out the kazoos and streamers because this episode reeks of audible awesomeness.

We discuss who we think has a shot to win each of the four blocks and then talk about some of the biggest matches that are likely to make tape, going through the entire (frankly, quite amazing looking) tour! Finally, we wrap it up with a couple of your questions.
