    Not a huge AC/DC fan, but TNT would be a good one. Also "Mama said knock you out" by I think LL Cool J. I like the earlier "Voodoo Child" reference too. Now that I think of it "Helter Skelter" by The Beatles would be cool too.

    I would be tempted to got with Sir Percy, but probably be cliche and have a bit of LL Cool J

    It ain't a dance, it's a fight. No music, no parade, no hoopla. All business. It's a fight. The big show biz display is for the benefit of the feeble minded. The fight should be the whole show. The show should be the two fighters being the best they can be.

    The fight ought to be enough. There's drama in having silence to think about the importance of what faces you in combat. Have you ever watched the fighters in the old kinescopes from the '50s and '60s? How they are psyching themselves up about what they are about to face in the next 45 minutes or so? They are not distracted. They are professionals approaching their task in a professional way. They are thinking about the fight. The challenge of they are about to face is psyching them up. The challengeto make something of themselves in their chosen profession is psyching them up. They might be warming up a bit or talking to one of their handlers, but they are focused on the fight. They don't need all that other beeshot. It's a distraction.

    It is not a fight though, it is an entertainment, a way to make money. The fancy generally demand showbiz. Although you could do the no music entry as ironic, something different, that might sell, if that is your gimmick. But you do need to realise, you are still part of the show.

    We are from different generations. I agree making money is a major - the major - part of it. But the entertainment for me is the fight itself. The other sheet is just that -- sheet.
