Episode 6 - Wrestling Themes

Welcome back to Hit My Music. This week, we’re throwing back to the origins of this podcast, as my guests Kenny and Kevin join me to draft the greatest wrestling themes of all time. Along the way, we discuss some of our favorite wrestlers, some of our favorite live performances, and what song plays when a promoter needs to take off the shirt and tie and has to get back in the ring…

Just a heads up…there are a few songs that weren’t available on Spotify, and are thus missing from the playlists.

This week on Hit My Music, we are getting political. Joining me this week are Michelle and Tatum of Wings on Wings, and we are drafting protest songs. There’s a lot of talk about left leaning politics and the state of our country, along with a lot of really good music about serious topics.

Tape Review Episode 1 - Tim Taylor

Welcome back to Hit My Music. Today is the first in a series of episodes I'm referring to as Tape Review. My guest this week is Tim Taylor, who is on to discuss his 2005 draft. 

Thanks for listening, and come back next week for a new episode of the regular format!

Episode 4 - Nu Metal

Thanks for checking out Hit My Music! This week’s episode is all about nu metal. Tim from Final Wrestling Place and Brett from We Need Wrestling join me to talk about the late 90s/early 00s combination of groove, heavy guitars and angst, and draft 10 songs each to create three individualized playlists. Listen to us talk about why nu metal isn’t just “angry white boy” music, despite its reputation, give some alternative names for the genre, and take a detour into the Metallica masterpiece “Some Kind of Monster”.

Episode 3 - The Year 2005

Welcome back to Hit My Music! On this episode, I’ve gathered the hosts of Final Wrestling place, Marcus and Tim to draft playlists from the year 2005. We have some fun reminiscing about the past, and what these songs remind us of from that time of our lives. There are some huge hits discussed on this episode, and we also discuss some very popular artists from that time who may not be looked upon so favorably in 2026…

Welcome back to Hit My Music. For the second episode of the all new format, I asked Chris Decker and Matt Deuerlein to join me for a draft of one of my favorite genres of music: Third Wave Ska.

Episode 18 - Arthur McArthur

Hey, there! Welcome back to Hit My Music. I know it's been a while, but I'm back with a brand new episode featuring my conversation with the strongest man in all the land, one half of the AIW Tag Team Champions, none other than Arthur McArthur.

Listen in, as we talk about dad's cruisin', the music that moms and sisters made him listen to, and how one goes about finding music that will fit for an old timey strong man.

Episode 17 - Please Rise!

Welcome back to Hit My Music. I want to apologize up front for the fact that I sound like Clint from Hershey, PA...I was diagnosed with Covid this week, but I wanted to get the episode out while it was still somewhat topical.

This episode represents a bit of a shift in the podcast. There's no guest this week, just me, talking about some different patriotic songs to open wrestling shows. I hope everyone enjoys it.

Episode 16 - Jaden Newman

Thank you for downloading Hit My Music! 

 

This week, my guest is El Numero Uno, Ichiban, Number One...Jaden Newman. This young man from Tennesse has experience beyond his years, and we talk about how he started, specifically first theme songs, and how they fit with his initial gimmick. We talk about how a public version of a personal life can influence character, and by extension entrance music. I find that Jaden and I have some common ground in terms of concert going experiences. And we talk about an exciting musical development for Jaden's career.

This is a fun episode. Enjoy!
