Wrestling was low-budget working class entertainment back then, strictly UHF material. It was cheap theater. You had to bring your imagination to the proceedings and you got paid back double. I wrote these songs to re-immerse myself in the blood and fire of the visions that spoke to me as a child, and to see what more there might be in them now that I'm grown.'  -  John Darnielle, Durham, NC.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Southwestern Territory \u003cbr\u003e1.2 The Legend of Chavo Guerrero \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Foreign Object \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Animal Mask \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Choked Out \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Heel Turn 2 \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Fire Editorial \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Stabbed to Death Outside San Juan \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Werewolf Gimmick \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Luna \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Unmasked! \u003cbr\u003e1.12 The Ballad of Bull Ramos \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Hair Match\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
