My Top Tracks That Counteract With Pro Wrestlers.

Warning.

This list will contain references to Mental Health, and drug addiction, that some readers might find upsetting, reader discretion is now in effect.

Hangman Adam Page. Jake Roberts. I'm Not Okay JellyRoll.

From the early days of AEW existence, the characteristics of Hangman Adam Page was woven into the fadric of the company, as his rivalry with Kenny Omega was played out over a two year period. The Song I'm Not Okay is a song that focuses in on someones darkness, before they fall. Suicide is an issue that if you don't put it on TV, then no one talks about it. We as fans got to see Hangmans fall as he sunk deeper into spell of addiction in real time, as his self doubt took over. He did find his way out of the darkness, and was able to beat Kenny Omega to gain the AEW World Heavyweight Championship, as this brought the issue of Mental Health was brought into wrestlings main frame. Jake Roberts is a performer who has come through the otherside of the industry with scars, but in truth his scars were evident from when he entered the business. Jake struggled with substance abuse issues for years, and found himself at his lowest end. But like the song says It 's all going to be alright. Jake turned his life around, and is now a stallwart for sober living. These men are proof that if you're in the darkness yourself, you can get out of it, just know that everyone has a guiding light.

 Linkin Park Crawling. Shawn Michaels.

Even though the industries that Chester Bennington, and Shawn Michaels used to, and are working in, are seen as a study in contrast, but the throws of drug addiction is something both men have in common. The song Crawling is a devastating reminder of just how harsh this form of addiction can be. It examplified what Chester has gone through, as this illness took over his life, which led to him suffering from mental health issues. Shawns issues came at the epitath of his fame in the early 1990's to the early 2000's, but it was the love of his family, and finding religion that gave him the insight that he needed to get through the itching in his skin.

 Now That We're Dead Metallica. The Undertaker.

As the looming threat of dispair echoes around the arena, a sense of excitement, and dread goes down fans backs. This song is a perfect way to describe how Mark Calloway the man, has portrayed the character for over his 30 year career. This song was the perfect way to say goodbye not just to the character, but the man who gave his life to the fans.

 Numb Linkin Park. John Cena.

This is a song that fans go to when it comes to it's meaning. The term . Never Give Up, wasn't just a clever catchphrase you could put on a t shirt. It was a way of saying never hold back if there's something you want to do in life. Linkin Parks Numb is a song that has been known to save lives, which to me says, If you bet on yourself you will always win.

My Way Limp Bizkit. The Rock And Stone Cold Steve Austin.

The Wrestlemania 17 highlight reel is something that shouldn't just be used as a time piece, but a reminder of how these performers were at the time. Both men were known for wanting to run their careers their own way, because they had a passion to be no1. The Rock went on become a Hollywood megastar, as Austin would face a tough run of form, from fans, and critics. This song is a reminder that you have to want to try and do things your way.
