    Music of the Mat Remix: Main Eventers

    Just like the opening match on a wrestling show has the important role of setting the tone, the main event has the important role of ending the show on a strong note. Not every wrestler can be a main eventer, but the ones who prove they belong are the ones who stay in that spotlight. The same can be said for the closing track on an album. Not every song works as an album closer, but the ones that do stand the test of time. On this episode, Andrew and returning guest JoJo Remy (Voices of Wrestling) play a selection of their favorite album closers, mostly classics but a few modern ones as well. Artists played include Todd Rundgren, The Raconteurs, The Who, Superorganism, UFO, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Pink Floyd, Muse, David Bowie, and many more. The lights are bright and everybody is listening, because it's time for the main event!

    Music of the Mat Remix: Absolute Cinema

    You may have noticed a trend on social media the past few years of people praising something as "absolute cinema." Wrestling seems to be no different, as internet cinephiles are quick to scream "absolute cinema" at Roman Reigns staring at Jey Uso or Seth Rollins making a face. On this episode, Andrew and returning guest Paul Wedding will discuss some actual cinema, namely songs from movies. They could be songs made specifically for the movie's soundtrack, songs that are just in the movie and come from somewhere else, or film score. Artists played include Aimee Mann, Quincy Jones, Townes Van Zandt, Moby, Motörhead, Carly Simon, Roy Orbison, Geto Boys, and many more. Grab some popcorn and put your cellphones on silent, we're going to the movies!

    Music of the Mat Remix: Hair vs. Hair Metal (9th Anniversary Show)

    Music of the Mat is celebrating nine years the only way it knows how: with a hearty pun and a lively discussion about hair metal! Inspired by the recent retirement of Hiroshi Tanahashi and his glorious head of hair, this episode combines two hirsute topics. The hair vs. hair match is a stipulation that has been around for decades in pro wrestling, and hair metal is a genre that has been around for decades in music (even if it's heyday was forty years ago). Andrew is joined by returning guest Damon McDonald (Super J-Cast) to play some of their favorite hair metal songs. Artists played include Ratt, Cinderella, White Lion, Skid Row, Def Leppard, KIX, Bon Jovi, Poison, and many more. Grab your hairspray, pour yourself into the tightest spandex pants you can find, and enjoy this fantastic anniversary show!

    Music of the Mat Remix: Rematch Clause

    There's a booking trope in wrestling where a wrestler loses their championship, and instead of working their way back to the belt, they say "I have a rematch clause!" and automatically get a second match. This episode of Music of the Mat Remix is all about seconds, specifically second albums. Andrew is joined by first-time guest DJ Convoy to discuss some great sophomore efforts. Artists played include Nirvana, Carole King, Prefab Sprout, Massive Attack, MS MR, Rainbow, Weezer, and many more. No need for a rematch clause to listen to this episode, just click play and enjoy!

    Music of the Mat Remix: Sitting in Catering

    The shorthand reference for a wrestler not being used on TV is that they're "sitting in catering." They're sitting in the back, eating some food, while other wrestlers get the spotlight and the glory. Just in time for Thanksgiving, Andrew is joined by returning guest Sean Flynn to hunker down in catering and chow down on songs about food or have food in the title. Artists played include System of a Down, Adele, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, Mac Miller, Nick Drake, King Crimson, Harry Styles, and more. Load up your plate and save room for dessert, this episode will have you stuffed to the gills with delicious entertainment.

    Music of the Mat Remix: You Can't C Me

    John Cena, the biggest wrestling star of the past two decades and one of the biggest wrestling stars of all time, is just weeks away from his last match. On this episode, Andrew and returning guest Suit Williams (Voices of Wrestling) discuss Cena's imminent retirement and the putridity of his final run, then get musical by playing bands and artists that start with the letter C. It's a play on Cena's catchphrase "You can't see me," where we replace the word "see" with the letter... well, you get it. Artists played include Cheap Trick, Ciara, Chaka Khan, The Crystal Method, Chromatics, Clipse, Chappell Roan, The Cult, and many more. Put on your finest jorts and brush up on your basic thuganomics, because this episode is all about hustle, loyalty, and respect.
