Now that you know us, it's...surprising that you're still here. But we thank you for not having had enough already! Our first thematic episode is on a topic near and dear to the hearts of wrestling fans: entrance music. Chris, Noell, and Dave take on the showtunes of Ring Pan Alley.

The episode opens with Chris' dramatic reading of "Real American," and you won't want to miss the...poignancy of Dave's reading to close out the show. In between, we talk about our favorite entrance music--music that served to make the characters we hold so dear--our least favorites--music that just didn't quite fit--and some songs that were altogether bizarre. 

Reading Wrestling is the first podcast to examine wrestling as a performing art, and our episodes are structured like an encyclopedia of the art. This week's entry is the first part of many on the topic of entrance music (we'll be sure to return to this topic again in future episodes).
