You can't beat a good wrestling entrance, can you?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsfEiZ_IY2U

Sometimes they're a grand Wrestlemania production

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRiOw3qGYq4

Sometimes they're more personal and visceral

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNjeTXZ14qA

And sometimes they're whatever this is

It was easily my favourite entrance of 2022, TJPW Grand Princess where they brought every member of Biishiki-gun. Including the ones that had retired, were working under different gimmicks and even for different companies

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I know Europe charges an arm and a leg to have their music used, but I still hope that BBT will find the money to at least use "Final Countdown" for one special match, much like he got Miseria Cantare for Punk.

Maybe it's just because Carry on Wayward Son is one of my favourite songs, but this owned.

In order, for me:

Sting's 1997 Clash of the Champions debut
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96xkLsd7YhU

When a man’s heart is full of deceit, it burns up, dies, and a dark shadow falls over his soul. From the ashes of a once great man has risen a curse. A wrong that must be righted. We look to the sky for a vindicator, someone to strike fear in to the black heart of the same man who created him. A battle between good and evil has begun. Against an army of shadows comes a dark warrior. The purveyor of good, with the voice of silence, and a mission of justice…. This is Sting.

I want to give props to the two kings of Pro Wrestling entrances in MMA, Akihiro Gono and Genki Sudo

Akihiro Gono was a fairly middle of the road PRIDE fighter who is pretty much only remembered for his giant elaborate entrances like this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PS_qJ3ojfLg&t=347s

He later had a brief stint in the UFC where they allowed him to do an elaborate entrance once, he chose to do this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ-PPObggms

Dana White was not a fan and didn't allow any future entrances.

Genki Sudo was the original and did tons of creative entrances, usually themed but with an overall message of international unity and peace
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQB2qj64mTk

After he retired he moved into making music and dance videos under the name World Order, this is my personal favorite of theirs:

Kinda a bummer in retrospect, but I remember watching Punk's debut appearance in AEW bank multiple times in absolute awe at how lit this crowd was. AEW has notoriously lovely sound, but the fact that the crowd is drowning out the music blows my mind.

Malakai Black's original entrance is extremely my poo poo.

Nakamura 's WK entrance with the pole dancer was really something else. Can't find it, unfortunately.

Also this might be a deep cut, but Chikara did a KOT not long after Larry Sweeney passed away, and Eddie Kingston came out to Larry's favorite song "Highwayman" by the Highwaymen, which would be nice way to honor him on its own but the song is literally about the idea of spirits living on and being eternal.
