The 5 greatest entrance themes in Pro Wrestling today

#2 'Kaze Ni Nare' - Minoru Suzuki

Sadistically satisfying

When it comes to deciding on good, effective entrance music, one might take many things into account. Does the style and sound of the song suit the character? Is it enough to get the fans involved and singing along? Does it help to strike fear into the opponent they are about to face?

Sometimes, however, entrance music is enjoyable simply due to it being a great sounding song. This is very much the case with Minoru Suzuki's theme 'Kaze Ni Nare'.

That is not to say that it doesn't contain all of the aforementioned qualities. The Japanese crowd loves singing along to the signature line, despite the Far East audience traditionally being more reserved. It also hits at the perfect time, just as Minoru steps through the ropes and into the squared circle.

The music also carries a sufficient amount of class deserving of such a talented legend. Fans hold far too much respect for the man to see him come to the ring accompanied by cheerful, over-the-top musical notes. A soul-warming ballad is exactly what a man like Suzuki needs.

But the effectiveness of the theme really stems from the contrast between Suzuki's well known sadistic nature and the rather pleasant vocals of the female singer. When you're facing Minoru, you know you are about to endure a lot of pain, but at least he will dish it out beautifully.
