Realmsers and Realmsers-adjacent, welcome to the officially unofficial edition of Rock Wars: WRESTLING SONGS! We few wrestling nerds have compiled 128 songs that all were used in some form to introduce a professional wrestler or professional wrestling show. Here they will all be pitted against one another, Match by Match, Round by Round, weeding them all out until they get to the FINAL MATCH, to see which one emerges as Grand Champion of this experimental side Rock Wars!

Pretty basic really. Songs are matched up, you all vote on the one you like more, the winner goes to the Next Round, and we do this over and over again until the Rounds are over. As always, we ask that you all give objective opinions and votes here, listening to all songs here within this TOC with an open mind, beginning to end, and base your honest votes from that.

As always, this TOC should be voted using a very simple criteria, which song do YOU like more, which do YOU feel you would rather listen to, and which YOU would say is ultimately more deserving to move on. Easy.

So without further ado, let’s get started with the Next Match of many matches to come in the first ever secondary Rock Wars!

I now give you:


METALINGUS
(Edge)

vs.


WE ARE IRON MAN
(Road Warriors)



So, what say you all – which of these wrestling anthems is the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be?!

So I’m going to admit to being music stupid occasionally. For whatever reason, I thought Metalingus was a Metallica song. I’m listening and think “that sounds like a heavier version of Alter Bridge”, who I like. Typed in Metalingus to YouTube and, duh, it is Alter Bridge. A vote for Metalingus, please.

Metalingus for me!

Metalingus gets my vote.

We Are Iron Man, there would be no Metalingus without Black Sabbath.

We Are Iron Man. Sure, they basically only used the guitar part of the song, but it's an entrance theme 100%.

Metalingus should've been more cunning.

Easy vote for Metalingus to advance. I honestly don't know how the other one made it to round 2.


Mrs. G also chooses Metalingus

I hear We are Iron Man and I think of Ozzy or Tony Stark or Bob Rivers (hey, Christmas music has started playing )

I hear Metalingus, even on the radio, and I think Edge.

Metalingus to advance

You think you know me
(and if you think I'm voting for Edge here, you do know me)

Metalingus
