As I send this email, there hasn't been a defined role for Elias at Wrestlemania. I am hoping he'll be on the show, but I think he deserves better than the Battle Royal. What are your thoughts and what would you do with him?
I am 100% in agreement with you. In a perfect world, I'd have him give a "concert" only to have The Rock come out and they could a sing-off or something silly like that. I don't know that's a possibility, but hey, Rock has a movie to push in Rampage, which comes out on 4/13.
Has there been any word on "The Final Countdown" being Daniel Bryans new entrance music for Wrestlemania? Oh, the chills and goosebumps that would deliver!!!
As much as I would personally enjoy that, I don't think WWE is going to try and add that as Bryan's music, especially when his current music is well established and the audience reacts in a big way to it.
Tonight I decided to pass some time and put on an old Clash from the WWE network. I decided to go with Clash IX with the Terry Funk/Ric Flair I Quit match. The opening match on this card was the Freebirds Vs. the Road Warriors. When the Warriors came out, I could have sworn I was hearing Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" playing. If I remember, I think they did use to come out to that song but why is WWE able to play it on the network? Wouldn't they have to pay some sort of royalty for it? Or am I hearing a knockoff that was dubbed in?
It's quite possible you heard a bit of the song, as WWE would have had to edit the master in order to slide in whatever muzak/knockoff they are using for the Warriors on the Network. They are not paying royalties for recording artists for songs that were used by the original promotions before WWE acquired the material.
Has there been any talk of AJ Lee working on the independents?
None. In fact, Lee has thus far avoided all radio shows, conventions, etc. associated with professional wrestling.
You have obviously covered a lot of Wrestlemania weekends. I am going to go for the first time this week. What advice can you offer?
First of all, the most important advice is to wear the most comfortable sneakers you have, because you will spend a lot of time on your feet and the last thing you want is for them to ache or for you to get a blister. Second, take water with you everywhere you can and hydrate. It will make the difference over the course of a long day. Three, plan where you want to go and how to get there and be sure that you leave yourself time to rest, because there will be very little of it if you plan of hitting as many shows as possible. Four, make sure you budget because the last thing you want is to be in the middle of the week and not have cash on you, especially at independent shows that may not take credit cards. Finally, if you feel like you are going to hit a wall, go rest. This is supposed to be fun, not a war of attrition. It's a long weekend but if you plan it out and go in with the mindset that you want to have a blast, you will. Good luck!
