Music of the Mat Remix: Why Am I So Violin?
Tuesday, 29 September, 2026
One of the more recent tropes in pro wrestling is "Why am I so violent?", where a babyface wrestler will have a crisis of conscience about the level of violence they are dishing out against their opponent (and typically stare at their hands while doing so). It's meant to be this dramatic emotional arc, but more often it just makes the babyface look like an idiot and a coward for not wanting to hurt their opponent. On this episode, Andrew comes up with one of his delightfully devilish puns with a topic called "Why am I so violin?", in which he and first-time guest Hypnotoad (VOW Discord) play songs that have a string section instrument in them (violin, viola, cello, double bass). Artists played include Kansas, The Cranberries, Ben E. King, Dexys Midnight Runners, The Shirelles, Queensrÿche, The Verve, and many more. Don't stare at your hands too long, or else you might miss this episode!Theme song: "Hemispheres" by Silent PartnerBluesky: @MusicoftheMat / @justandrewAll VOW podcasts, articles, previews, and reviews: VoicesofWrestling.comJoin the VOW Discord to discuss Music of the Mat and other shows/topics: VoicesofWrestling.com/DiscordDonate to Music of the Mat and other VOW podcasts: VoicesofWrestling.com/DonateAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
