Like, how does it work? Let's say Triple H is cutting a promo, CM Punk's theme hits and he interrupts him. How does that work in kayfabe land? Can wrestlers just say "I'm off to interrupt him, hit my music" or do they have to submit requests to mysterious shareholders that decide if they can do it or not? If more than one person wants to interrupt someone, do they play Rock Paper Scissors to decide who gets to go out first? Does management try to stop interruptions or do they let it roll?

I know people have long hated the whole music hitting before a save or something. But in my head the way I explain it is the sound and minitron guy is like ten yards behind the curtain so he can hit them up when a guy is going out. It works for me  . |

Some cues work well when interrupting a promo instead of the interrupter's voice, like the static at the start of Punk's theme or the Stone Cold glass shattering. I have no issues with it.

In the case of surprise returns, such as The Rock or Christian's 2009 return, how does anyone know to compose a new theme for the returning wrestler?

Can anyone interrupt anyone? Could JTG interrupt Triple H this Monday on Raw?

People backstage know that the wrestler has been signed/re-signed and compose the theme accordingly? Like if RVD had come back with new music. Triple H explained how he signed him back a few weeks before his return so RVD could've said in contract negotiations "I want a new theme song, compose me one" or even (in the case of Punk in '11): "I want to use Cult of Personality as my theme, that's one of my demands for this contract". |

Kinda related I guess, Punk's theme in particular makes great sense when he interrupts a promo. It's static into a riff. I just love that little touch.

when did the "wrestler's music hit" thing started by the way? It became mandatory during the attitude era I think but my memory is blurred...

Much like the old action figures, the wrestlers all have chips in their boots. Once they walk on the stage (behind the curtain) their theme music and Tron lights up.

I remember when Taz wanted to respond to Bigelow's request to team up against Douglas, Candido, and Storm on an episode of ECW's old syndicated show. The Dudley's are out in the ring and we see at the Gorilla Position Adam Flash was waiting for Heyman to send him out when Taz asks to go out instead. Heyman lets him know that "It doesn't work that way" but immediately flip flops after Taz takes out Adam Flash and Heyman over his headset tells the production people to play start Taz's lights and music. It's a nice little to explain in kayfabe how such interruptions happen. Here's the segment: www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6AmrySJ8v4 |

Oh don't get me wrong, I love the music hitting like that, I just like imagining the kayfabe required for it. I can buy that the kayfabe sound guy is a God among sound editors because of the real life thing with the fan attacking Randy Orton. If you see the video of the incident, Orton is celebrating in the ring with his theme playing when the fan invades. His theme immediately stops playing. Orton proceeds to kick his ass and flip him off. Then, with an amazing sense of timing, Orton's theme starts playing again. Much like the old action figures, the wrestlers all have chips in their boots. Once they walk on the stage (behind the curtain) their theme music and Tron lights up. I love this idea very much and want it to be canon. Coincidentally, this explains why Sin Cara Negro had a different theme song. Because of the mark in his boots! |

They commit to the music early too. They'll play it and interrupt someone before you even do anything.
Theoretically, HHH could be cutting an in ring promo, be interrupted by Heath Slater's music...then Slater could just wave on the ramp and leave.

They have chips in their feet so when they pass a certain point on the stage, their entrance begins.

One week when Triple H calls the entire roster out, they should forget to turn that feature off and just have a horrible mash-up of every theme on the roster. Actually, that gives me an idea. I might need to try something later... |

Too bad we don't get to hear the "Now... Entering the Titan Tron..." voice before wrestlers enter. If it works like that, every single person would be "NO CHANCE (duh nuh nuh nuh) NO CHANCE (dun nuh nuh nuh) NO CHANCE" My Titan Tron basically dictated the feuds of my 30+ figures. We had The Rock, Mankind, and Stone Cold vs the WWF Corporation. |

I just imagine there's a brawl backstage as wrestlers are trying to stick their theme tapes into Vince's Walkman which is the core of the soundsystem of the arena.

I justify it by saying, "It's pro-wrestling. On a list of illogical things, this doesn't even crack the top 50." |

That'd be a top ___ list DVD I would actually watch, The Top 50 Things That Only Make Sense in WWE. |
