It’s March. That means everything has to be a tournament, right?
This year, we’re playing along. We’ve built an incredible, incredibly funny community of wrestling fans at With Leather thanks to the popularity of the Best and Worst of Raw and Impact columns, and with WrestleMania fast approaching, I thought now would be the perfect time to organize a reader input fueled, wrestling themed tournament.
So, I hereby formally announce the 1st Annual With Leather Bad Wrestling Theme Lyrics March Madness Tournament. Here’s how it’s going to work:
The tournament will feature 32 entries, each one of the worst lyrics from the worst possible kind of music — pro wrestler entrance themes. On one side, 16 lyrics chosen by me, an expert in the field of going “LOL what the f**k did that song just say.” On the other, 16 lyrics chosen by YOU, with With Leather readers. When the entries are decided upon, we’ll pit them against one another in a single-elimination tournament and see which entrance theme song lyric is truly the worst of all time.
What you’ll want to do is drop a comment below nominating your choice for the tournament. It can be a single line or a few lines, but try to stay away from nominating entire songs. If someone has posted a lyric you think deserves a nomination, reply to it with a +1. Next Friday, I’ll add up the nominations with the most plusses-one, and they’ll officially enter the tournament. Got it? Remember, it’s not bad entrance themes, it’s bad entrance theme lyrics. The songs can still be good.
The only other rule is that you read my choices and not duplicate them. Here they are, chosen scientifically:
