Now, I need you to cast one more vote: your choice for champion. Th
"This voting, a little bit spot-tay."
The NCAA Final Four AND WrestleMania 29 happen this weekend, so it’s only appropriate that the With Leather Bad Wrestling Theme Lyrics March And April Madness Tournament enters its own homestretch. Your Final Four are just as unexpected as the real ones: Mr. Ass, American Males, AJ Styles and Kung Fu Naki.
The last round saw the #1 and 2 seeds (Undertaker and Layla, respectively) fall, so it’s up to you to decide whether or not fan-chosen 1 seed AJ Styles will take the tournament, or if lyrics about asses, America and croppie will reign supreme. Those matches are below, and I urge you to consider and discuss them deeply before voting.
Voting for the Final Four will take place until Sunday, April 7. You know, WrestleMania. The final two songs will enter the finals on Monday, and we’ll crown a winner. Vote now, and vote often!
The first ever With Leather Bad Wrestling Theme Lyrics March Madness Tournament is almost over, which is … probably good, considering that MARCH is almost over, but work with us here.
We’re down to the Elite Eight: Undertaker, Mr. Ass, Layla, the American Males, AJ Styles, Jeff Jarrett, Kung Fu Naki and Billy Kidman. Only one theme can reign supreme as the possessor of the worst lyrics in pro wrestling entrance theme history, and it’s up to you to decide which theme that’ll be. You know the drill by now: check out the match-ups, give the songs another listen, consider the horribleness of Funaki’s memory being a “little bit grog-gay” or whatever and vote in the polls at the bottom of each page.
Votes for this round will be tallied on Tuesday, which means you have until Monday, April 1 to make your voice heard. These are the tournament’s big guns, so I want to hear a lot of pointed discussion about assholes asses and picking asses and … other things about asses.
Your Elite Eight match-ups:
The results are in! After a week of tumultuous voting arguments and two lengthy, analytical podcasts, we can safely declare the round one winners in the first annual With Leather Bad Wrestling Theme Lyrics March Madness Tournament. I say “annual” like we can do this more than once. Oh, and uh, I fixed the brackets.
Anyway, the tournament continues this week with round two action. A lot of the heavy hitters remain — American Males and its Devo + didgeridoos attempt at 80s rock, Billy Kidman’s weird, rapey rap song — as well as a few surprises. Who knew Chyna would lose so early?
The voting is open now, and you’ll have until next Tuesday, March 26, to make your voice heard. Here are the round two match-ups:
Whatever you do, don't doze off.
On Tuesday, With Leather launched round one of the Bad Wrestling Theme Lyrics March Madness Tournament, a not-really-seeded contest of bad writing and poor song planning. On Friday, we shared part 1 of a two-part podcast intended to help you make a decision. Today, we present to you part two. GUESS WHAT HAPPENS NOW.
If you haven’t voted on the round one match-ups yet, TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO VOTE. This is important. Tomorrow we’ll be announcing the lyrics that’re moving on to round two, and if you let that happen without contributing your voice, this whole experiment will be for nothing. Please give part two a listen, because it is two hours (no, seriously) of us discussing the fan-chosen second 16. If you can’t listen to the entire thing that’s fine, because JESUS it’s long, but give it a shot. There are tons of jokes about Bob Holly and cum shirts. Not at the same time.
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.
