On Tuesday, With Leather launched round one of the Bad Wrestling Theme Lyrics March Madness Tournament, a 32-song showdown featuring some of the worst songwriting imaginable and brackets that don’t really make sense because the songs aren’t really seeded.
If you haven’t voted on the round one match-ups yet, you’ve got until Monday, March 18 to participate. If you aren’t intimately familiar with the songs featured or would like further analysis on the lyrics and why you should or shouldn’t pick them, I’m here to help: Best and Worst of Impact columnist Danielle Matheson and I put together an almost 90 minute analysis of the first 16 songs.
The intention was to cover everything at once and post the podcast at The Mandible Claw on Monday, but we got really into it, split it in half, and decided to post part 1 here today. You’ll want to listen: I sing Test’s theme, Danielle sings Rob Van Dam’s TNA theme, and we discuss how an asshole could be “always kicking asshole’s ass” more than ESPN talks about hockey.
So yeah, give the podcast a listen, and if it changes your opinions you’ve still got time to vote. And if you don’t vote? You’re gonna pay.

And for those of you wondering if we talk about having sex with Buff Bagwell, you bet we do.
Again.
(It’s secretly a sexy Buff Bagwell podcast. Ssshhhh.)
THIS PODCAST IS SO FLUFFY I COULD DIE.
Fine work, guys!
Fandango would look better with a bird on him.
*waxes ears, prepares them for podcastery*
Nothing can prepare you for this, TBear! It’s so good.
*takes off socks in advance*
wise move. :)
I better find some plastic tarp to set down in my room so I don’t stain my stuff when my head explodes from the awesomeness I am about to hear.
This is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard. The people in the breakroom must think I’m insane because I was giggling to myself the whole time.
Also, I have Test’s theme right here and I feel like I need to decipher it FOR SCIENCE. Not gonna lie, it showed up on my highschool mix cd’s a few times. I don’t know why…
It’s the wrestling equivalent of the Zodiac letters.
90 minutes?! Damn, I only voted on the words. You two must have dissected each syllable.
Can’t wait to listen to this after work, thanks guys. On a related note, is there going to be a B&W of impact today, or can I stop hitting refresh on the main page every few minutes now?
Yup! It’s in Brandon’s inbox, so it’ll be up….soonish?
*random complaint about the seeding*
This is my personal nerd catnip. I can’t wait to listen to it.
I’m an American Male who owns a didgeridoo!!!! I got it six or seven years ago as a gag gift when my parents went to Australia. But they got a small one because it was cheaper. It’s somewhere in my closet next to the unopened bottle of Vegemite.
I had a boring work project to do on Friday night, so this was a great listen while I was working on it.
Two things:
1. I am really sad that William Regal’s “Man’s Man” theme is going against the probably winner that is American Males. Real Man coulda been a contender, but got screwed in the draw.
2. I know that you are not taking entrance videos into effect, but the most concerning thing to me about Buff Bagwell’s entrance was how someone in the crowd has a balloon airbrushed with a picture of Buff’s face on it. Who airbrushes balloons? I have never seen this again in my adult life. Also, why would they choose to do Buff Bagwell of all wrestlers? This has perplexed me since childhood.
