Wyatt Theme To Be Played At Mania?

[Y 2 Jake]

Bray Wyatt's theme song "Live In Fear" will be performed live at WrestleMania 30. Mark Crozer, who has toured with Jesus and Mary Chain and did the song with his group Mark Crozer and The Rels, posted the following to Facebook:

"Well as I'm no longer able to contain my excitement I may as well let you know... I'm playing Wrestlemania! I'll let you know more details when I get them."

The message has been taken down since its posting.

Anybody else think this will take away from their gimmick?

 

[Spidey Revivey]

Just a bit.

If the band comes out with fake beards a la Soggy Bottom Boys, I won't complain though.

 

[The Butcher]

I'm with Spidey on the beards. As long as they aren't comically fake, that is.

 

[Dirk]

On the one hand it will make them look more important, but on the other, yes, it will do some harm.

I don't get why the Wyatt theme isn't just the bass with the occasional strum. The lyrics and the chord progression is unnecessary.

If they simply do it as the guy who performs it playing simply because its Mania, then this is *****s. I do think there are some ways around it however. For example, in his early NXT promos Bray mentions being born and growing up in Lafayette, Louisiana, so it would make sense he would have a lot of followers in the state, so if they present the guy who performs the song as one of his "brothers" then it would make more sense.

It could be really cool. I always enjoyed the way Shawn Michaels had the DX band play him out at Mania 14 (Did Triple H have it too? Can't recall).

Why are you using "*****s" out of context?

Slight difference in gimmicks though, innit.

HHH did, but Lemmy was obviously on something when he played it seeing as he could barely get any of the lyrics right.

Really? I thought Bray was the new Sexy Boy.

 

[ABMorales787]

Sounds about as fitting as The Undertaker and Limp Bizkit.

 

[Uncle Sam]

At least The Undertaker was a hairy biker at the time.

As to the whole Bray thing. If the guy is made out to be one of his followers it could work.

 

[Uncle Sam]

WrestleMania's gonna be the usual overblown hype balloon anyway - I'm not sure why I care.

No reason to have certain themes played live, but if done right- this could be creepy.


The problem will be how they dress & light the band. If they keep the band hidden for the most part (say minimal lantern lighting) & they look right out of the bayou- it will work fine. That will be the factor. Since the band looks too clean cut the WWE cannot just let them go out & play like a normal gig. This is going to come down to presentation & im not talking about hokey beards & prop gators.

 

[Shocky]

As long as Wyatt vs. Cena doesn't close the show, they can do whatever they want.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

Can the band play in total darkness, lit only by the light of a lantern?

 

[Mighty NorCal]

If its done right, ala taking the piss out of a church band / congregation, it could be alright. If not, Jake is right.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

Every year there has to be at least one person who has their theme played live. Not sure why they picked the Wyatts this year. I would have loved to see Cena rap his theme one more time.

 

[Mr. Artistic guy]

If you don't take Wrestlemania too seriously, it's awesome.

 

[Wolf Pac]

Thought it would be Saliva this year, playing Batista's theme, but The Wyatts are also a good choice.

Anybody but those ***** that do Orton's theme.

 

[Da Prophet]

It's only an entrance.

 

[Danger Burger]

Rather they got in Rolling Stones to play "Time is on my side".

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

Stupid idea, then again NorCal's suggestion might save it. Hope the band ain't too Catholic.

Hey, this is a wrestling forum. If you shrug off things like this then you're nothing but a casual viewer.
