He also gave his opinion on creating a theme song for a professional wrestler.
“You need to look how well the character is defined,” he said. “What elements you can pick out that would translate to the music. Look at the Ultimate Warrior, jacked guy, long hair that is basically heavy metal use the riff.”
He said music has always been in his blood.
“I guess pro wrestling came first,” he said. “Music was always played in my house. It was everything from Rolling Stones to Frank Sinatra, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley to Johnny Cash. I really gravitated to wrestling when I was 7. When I was 11 years old, Guns n Roses got me involved with my music. That was my gateway band. I started to play in 1995 three years before I started wrestling. I got busy with wrestling. It paid me money so music was put on the back burner.”
He also talked about favorite current music, who he would create music for, and more.
