My Top Ten Bands That shaped My Love Of Pro Wrestling.

No Intro Needed.

5 Slayer.

As a fan of Heavy Metal music, the corilation between this genre, and wrestling goes back decades, from the time when Ozzy Osbourne, was seen sat at ringside, at Wrestlemania 2, but to me Slayer was a massive influence on my fandom. I listen to South Of Heaven on repeat when I did my Karate training back in the day, and unto this day. I listen to them when I go on walks,  when getting my exercise.

4 Slipknot.

I love this band. I have been a fan since I was fourteen years old, and getting into them, just so happened, when the back end of the attitude era, was starting to slow down, which meant that my tempo increased.

3 Pantera.

I'm just going to say this, so we get this clear. I don't agree with any of Phil Anselmo's controversial takes, in any way shape or form, but I love the music. Back when I did Karate. Pantera would be on my training playlist. In terms of Wrestling. In the mid nineties, the industry could easily have been soundtracked by  this band, which is when I first became a fan.

2 Korn.

Back in the late nineties, when I was entering my pre-teens. My favourite band at that point was The Offspring, that was until one of my boneheaded friends introduced me to Korn, and even it wasn't love at first listen straight away. I feel that it was a perfect way, to look at my relationship with wrestling at the time. Did I like Chris Jericho at that time. No, but I grew to love him, ( that was until earlier this Year ) Eddie Guererro I wasn't a big fan of in WCW, but I loved him in the WWF. This basically descrides my love for the band Korn.

1 Linkin Park.

This band, alongside Pro Wrestling, has got me through some dark periods in my life. I will be writing another piece on these guys a little bit later on, that will allow to go a bit more into detail.
