Manics To Pen WWE Wrestling Track

WWE wrestler Wade Barrett has reportedly convinced Manic Street Preachers to write and record the music he enters the ring to.

Barrett is known to be a fan of the Welsh band and has a tattoo which reads, "Culture, Alienation, Boredom and Despair" – lyrics from the band's 1992 single 'Little Baby Nothing'.

When James Dean Bradfield was told about the super-fan in a Q Magazine interview, the frontman said he was keen to help Barrett out by recording a new theme song for him.

"Let's just put this out there – if you're listening Wade Barrett we will do your fucking theme tune – just get in touch," he said. "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 has since spoken about the offer on Twitter, saying he hopes that the band can get into the studio for him. "That last link was JDB from The Manic Street Preachers offering to record my theme song. Mind: Blown," he wrote.

Barrett also spoke to Digital Spy about the band's offer, stating: "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."

Wade Barrett is from Lancashire in England and entered WWE in June 2010.

I still can't believe that the Manics may be doing this for the WWE.

It seems surreal... Only because I've been a major fan for years now and I'm slightly obsessed with the Manics AND WWE.

Can't wait to see what happens with this news!

It can only be good. I just told my best friend about this who is a fanatic WWE (I still call it WWF cos I'm an old school fan) and he said it'd be amazing and huge exposure for the band - he also quite likes the Manics as I bought him Forever Delayed a few years ago.

That's it, I am done with band! Nobby the sheep and Strictly Come Dancing are one thing (well, two things) but composing music for a wrestler is just a step too far!!!

Nah, actually it's a bit of fun isn't it, why not?

Something Underdogs-like would be pretty cool.

The best wrasslin' tunes of recent times have been written by RATM (DX) and Motorhead (Triple H). Manics would be in good company. I'd say its a long way from actually happening though.
