Manic Street Preachers Are To Create WWE Wrestler Wade Barrett’s Theme Music
Wade Barrett, the English born American WWE wrestler, appears to have convinced the Welsh rockers Manic Street Preachers to write and record the music that he enters the ring to.
Barrett is an avid fan of the band and even has a tatto which read, “Culture, Alienation, Boredom and Despair,” lyrics from the group’s 1992 single, “Little Baby Nothing.”
The British music magazine Q informed James Dean Bradfield, the band’s singer and frontman, of their super-fan in an interview. Bradfield then confided that he would be interested in recording a new theme song for the wrestler.
“Let’s just put this out there, if you’re listening Wade Barrett we will do your f**king theme tune, just get in touch,” stated Bradfield. “That would be the ultimate Situationist, bizarrest spectacle wouldn’t it. Us being played over the airwaves in some enormodome in front of 20,000 mad Yanks in Colorado somewhere.”
Barrett responded to this via Twitter hoping that the band would go into the studio for him: “That last link was JDB from The Manic Street Preachers offering to record my theme song. Mind: Blown.”
The wrestler then also told Digital Spy about the band’s offer, “I’ve let the guys in the WWE in the musical department know about it and they’re going to get in touch with the Manics. So fingers crossed we’ll get some new theme music in soon.”
Barrett entered the WWE in June 2010 and is originally from Preston, Lancashire in England, whilst the Manics recently released a new issue of their debut album Generation Terrorists.
