Walrus - The Return

[Necro]

MEANING....


In 1st place with 12 points


Spears


Atreyu - Warrior





This was just the perfect entry for this category. It has that epic feel to a proper champion’s entrance. You can see a guy winning his first world title with a generic theme and coming out to this as his new entrance in the aftermath – we just erm… have to cut it off before Travis Barker starts his rapping and ruins it . Great choice and perfect fit.

[Necro]

So after 2 rounds our table looks like this...

Name	Pop Punk VS Nu Metal	Theme Song	Exercise Song	Wildcard Finale	Bonus Points	Total
Rachel Stevens	12	10				22
ShaneU	10	7				17
Trigger	11	4				15
JP Liz V1	8	6				14
Sephiroth_dude	5	8				13
Sawduck	4	11				15
Spears	6	12				18
Butty Brennan	9	5				14
Deja Boo	7	9				16

R*Soaps leads the way on 22 points with Spears in second and ShaneU in third but it's still all to play for with midtable very very close.

Final 2 rounds and the bonus points will be revealed probably Monday evening assuming nothing else is running that night on the forum!!

Thanks for reading along so far folks!!

Love the start stop element of the lyrics with the beat. This is top notch stuff. Not something I expected to be submitted but it just works so well. You can picture the ring walk and then the pose on the ropes. Very little between this and second place here it has to be said.

Nice. Thought this might be a tad risky to go for, simply because I wasn't sure if you would like the song. My recent trip to a live wrestling show may have helped with this, as my brother and I were discussing what our entrance themes might be. I was in the middle of watching Arcane on Netflix (this is the theme song) around the time and I could totally see myself strutting around to this and playing up to the crowd, so I already had it in mind when the category popped up.

[Spears]

Oh ma gowd, I cant belive I won that round, i'm floored! 

I didn't even like the song that much myself, even though the lyrics do fit 





I have no idea anything about wrestling or the female charators, but in my mind I decided I wanted to be something witchy lol. 

Like the scene in Shakespears's Sister song 'Stay' when the evil witch makes her enterance. I was looking for a song to suit that, and was sulking after not being able to come up with anything. So had my submission song as a backup.

Thought it would have been a flop, so chuffed that it done so well 

[Trigger]

Ha I knew it was coming, just one thing to say!

[jp liz v1]

Oh holy fcuk, Roman Reigns! 

Why didn't anybody tell me I should be watching wrestling

Acknowledge Him 

[jp liz v1]

[Spears]

@jp liz v1  Roman Reigns is very similar to the Papa Roach band member who swayed my submission for last nights song  (Tobin Esperance -left in bottom pic). 

Two seriously tasty men!


But I think Roman Reigns may even be that little bit ahead of Esperance. I wouldn't even mind if he let himself go a little bit and came home to me with a bit of a dad bod. He'd be even better 















*Don't mind me I'm talking shyte. If a man like Reigns looked at me with those delicious eyes, I wouldn't even be able to speak, and might very well pass out! 

[jp liz v1]

I like tribal chef heel Reigns, the family man and a cancer survivor, cousin of The Rock

[Spears]

Acknowledge Him 

I didn't get what that meant before, but I watched a match earlier with him vs Edge and he said it at the end

The Rock does nothing for me. But I'd happily have a bit of Reign any day

I was holding off till tomorrow as I thought @jp liz v1 was revealing her 'quickfire sheep' 

If that's not going ahead I can reveal the final two rounds at 9pm.

Apologies folks time deserted me today, I will 100% run the end of the reveal tomorrow evening around 7pm. The joys of new babies!!

Exercise Songs


This one could be divisive. I find that what you listen to when you exercise can vary quite a bit but anyways…. I’d be into the upbeat songs to get my blood pumping such as the ones below:

















Same story here, saving top and bottom for last, right up the table otherwise. Gloriously there were no duplicates submitted in ANY round

I'll be back in 30 mins or so with the reveal for the Exercise Round!

[Sephiroth_Dude]

Hooray ! Best make a cupan tae so!

[DejaBoo]

I missed this reveal, but happy I scored above zero atleast

Seph

SpaceDust - Gym & Tonic





Beat is definitely what I’m looking for to get my heart rate up. Doesn’t really do anything else though it kind of just.. stays there. Like this entry stayed here, I guess.

[Sephiroth_Dude]

Hahahaha I partly guessed as much 😂

[Spears]

That's a good playlist you've got there yourself @Necro 

My own song is a bit tame in some parts, buts it's definitely an artist I'd be listening to in the gym..

Kings of Leon - The Bucket






An ok entry, excellent song but not something I’d be exercising to. Again it sort of just reaches a point and stays there.

ShaneU

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - Candy Racer





This is more like it but fcuk me that voice is annoying as hell. Like seventeen starlings chirping at you all at once. It gets a bit repetitive too after the 3 minute mark, which would be plenty for this type of track so here is a fair ranking for this one imo.

Regard, Years & Years - Hallucination





Now we’re getting into my sort of territory. Still a little slow for my liking (I know), but I’d definitely whack this like halfway down a playlist for my ten mins on the treadmill

[Spears]

I think @ShaneU 's song would givve me an anxiety attack

Can't complain with that! 


I love Years & Years.

Countrified!! Now we’re suckin diesel! I definitely have a grá for guitar riffs and quicker tempo. Very good entry.

[DejaBoo]

Wow, yay Necro, thanks!

[RSOAPS]

I'm in trouble here if fast paced Cardio Workout Soundtracks is what you wanted, prefer to go for songs that fit Resistance & Weight Training for my exercise playlists...

Butty Brennan

A-Ha - Take On Me





This put me in an awkward position as vice-president of the ‘I hate A-Ha’ fanclub. It’s absolutely perfect for the category and I’m preeeettttyyyy sure I’ve had it come up in one of my playlists before so it’s gotta rank fairly high. And I need to hand in my badges 

[Spears]

Nice song @DejaBoo 

Country music would be one of my very least known music styles. 

I was traumatized researching for a country walrus before. it was in the other place so it never went ahead in the end.

@Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick usually submits nice country songs that I can handle too

[ShaneU]

It gets the blood pumping! Was always going to be a risky pick, could have easily picked some predictable pop song instead

Avicii - Wake Me Up





Again I am NOT a fan of Avicii. I think I slaughtered this track in a previous Walrus. But all that being said it fits perfectly into the mould of what I’d have on a playlist for working out. And so it bags our brave entrant (who also entered it previously iirc) second place.

Thanks Spears - not many people like Country,, some of it is just plain awful.  I am not a fan of old Western (cringe) twang (which most people seem to like), guess I'm just backward!

...wait, there was a country walrus? how'd I miss that!!!  

oooh cool, will look forward to Soapy Country songs!
