whats everyones favorite warm-up songs?
I've noticed about every wrestler has his iPod, mp3, CD player before their match... and I was wondering whats going on inside their ears?
and does music really help your wrestling out or not?
-----------------------------------------
hard rock: system of a down, pantera, disturbed, etc...
new rock: yellowcard, nickleback, all-american rejects, etc...
classic rock: europe, queen, van halen, acdc, etc...
rap or other: (I don't know any rap or anything)

FOR THOSE ABOUT TO GET ROCKED,,,,I SALUTE YOU.
One of our wrestlers was listening to Kelly Clarkson before his match but he still pinned the kid
One time i listened to Pink Floyd wish you were here, right before the tournament started. I had the song stuck in my head all day and i completly sucked all day. Ended up getting 4th in a tournament i probally should have won. Im sure it wasnt all the song but thats a depressing song and it couldnt have helped. So dont listen to that song before a match.
i like to listen to rock. My personnle best are
step up - drowning pool
let the bodies hit the floor- drowning pool
In iTunes if you go to the music store and then go to iMix and then type in "wrestling practice" and see some mixes that others have put together for their warm ups or proactices. I am glad to see Jimi Hendrix is still making the hit list.
I was waiting for someone to come up with drowning pool.....not a lot of metallica though. I'm disappointed.
There is nothing wrong with Kelly Clarkson.
I just felt like that needed to be said.
Yea nothing wrong with Clarkson...Personally some Aaron Carter or some Bloodhound Gang does it for me...
hell ya with the bloodhound gang great call. As well as some 311, ween, alice in chains, gorillaz. Seriously dwnl any gorillaz song you can they are all badass.

4. Stand Up for the Champions- Right Said Fred
5. Flower- Moby
6. 45- Shinedown
7. Basketball Remix- ESPN Jock Jams
8. Click Click Boom- Saliva
9. Enter Sandman- Metallica
10. We Are the Champions- Queen

anybody ever tried lisening to classical before a match? like maybe the sound tracks to lord of the rings, or troy? or perhaps my personal faverate from last year the halo2 sound track? this stuff rocks but when it gets to be close to match time i always thought i did better when i took the head phones off and focused on the match
