He's simply ravishing, owwww! On this episode of Music of the Mat, Andrew and Liam Byrne (Voices of Wrestling) take a look at the themes of the late, great "Ravishing" Rick Rude. One of the most memorable personalities to come out of pro wrestling in the 80s and 90s, Rude's chiseled body, oozing machismo, and technical wrestling skills made him a legend that is looked back on fondly to this very day. Andrew and Liam go through Rude's various sultry and vivacious theme songs that went hand-in-hand with his steamy gimmick. So what I'd like to have right now is for all you fat, ugly, out-of-shape sweathogs, keep the noise down while I press the play button and show the ladies what a real wrestling music podcast sounds like.

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, it's the perfect time to take a look at some of the songs of love (and lust) that have been used in wrestling, as well as wrestling's inclusion of romance and love in general.
