Crowd Interaction

[Woo]

As a fan of Shimmer I really love parts of the shows where the fans all get to chant stuff in union. Be it "NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS!", "Nikki" "ROXX" "GREEN WITH ENVY" or the "FINAL COUNTDOWN!" it always gives me goosebumps. One of my favourite things ever in wrestling has been the entrance of the Sandman in ECW, or better yet WWE- ECW One Night Stand- simply one of the best entrances in history with the fans singing Enter Sandman. It got me thinking how cool it would be if we had a wrestler who's theme we could sing in October. And I think I know just what song it could be:




Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can
Cure my disease

I ain't got a fever got a permanent disease
It'll take more than a doctor to prescribe a remedy
I got lots of money but it isn't what I need
Gonna take more than a shot to get this poison out of me
I got all the symptoms count 'em 1,2,3

First you need
That's what you get for falling in love
Then you bleed
You get a little but it's never enough
On your knees
That's what you get for falling in love
And now this boy's addicted cause your kiss is the drug

Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can
Cure my disease

Bad, bad medicine
Bad, bad medicine

I don't need no needle
To be giving me a thrill
And I don't need no anesthesia
Or a nurse to bring a pill
I got a dirty down addiction
It doesn't leave a track
I got a jone for your affection
Like a monkey on my back

There ain't no paramedic
Gonna save this heart attack

When you need
That's what you get for falling in love
Then you bleed
You get a little but it's never enough
On your knees
That's what you get for falling in love
Now I'm addicted and your kiss is the drug

Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
So let's play doctor, baby
Cure my disease

Bad, bad medicine
Bad, bad medicine

[Solo]

I need a respirator cause I'm running out of breath
You're an all night generator wrapped is stockings and a dress
When you find your medicine you take what you can get
Cause if there's something better baby well they haven't found it yet

Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can
Cure my disease

Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
Your love's the potion that
Can cure my disease

Bad, bad medicine
Bad, bad medicine

To be honest, Courtney has one of my least favourite themes in SHIMMER.

The best theme interaction in the company is with Portia's theme with the BOO! BOO! BOO!

It's funny how things work. The only thing I'm a nerd for more than wrestling is music, and I'm a bit of a snob at it too. Ordinarily, Bon Jovi is horrid and the kind of thing I avoid like the plague. But in this context . . man, every time those power chords kick in I mark out. It's one of those entrance themes that screams "here comes a STAR". But it's he fact that Courtney Rush has superstar charisma that makes it all come together. If she wasn't such an uplifting personality then it'd fall flat.

Anyway . . crowd interaction. I miss the old days. I miss children and the genuine terror or joy that you'd get from them. I miss organic reactions. It's always good to hear the crowd making some noise and there's nothing worse than the sound of folk sitting on their hands. But I do HATE this let's chant for the sake of chanting! thing that infests the wrestling world at the moment. It's witless, embarrassing **** most of the time.

I love the unique ring introductions. Stuff like that's valuable in getting someone over.

Isn't Madison a heel though? Or would it work equally well whether it's a face or heel? I thought that was Madison Eagles. Oh well.

The "Trailer Made" chant in April was pretty fun, especially when Allysin Kay went along with it.

I just bought Vol. 50. I'm still laughing about the "Win A Title" chant towards Mercedes during the M.E.

[Goddess of Cats]

I still laugh about "HUSSY!" Saraya's reaction was priceless.

The best thing about that were Portia's and Nicole's "Ooooooh, burn!" faces at Mercedes!

You're right. I'm not a Bon Jovi fan, and wasn't the biggest Rush fan, but something happened around the time of her team with Sara where the minute that theme starts I find myself throwing my hands in the air like "Yeah!!" and became a massive fan of both her and the theme. It's the same reaction I have for Matt Hardy- whenever I heard the intro to his WWE theme my hand would automatically make a V1 sign!

Yeah the "Boo boo boo" thing during Edge of Seventeen is fantastic.

For me, the best was the crowd. Half of the crowd was chanting "Win A Title", the other half was going "oooohhhhh", like the NINJAs were doing. Mercedes proceeded to give me a death stare
