Hi guys! I, your resident wrestling entrance theme composer John Kiernan interviews the one and only Uncle Ben, Ben Eller! Ben is a guitarist known for his recent performance with Mastodon and his unbelievable YouTube guitar channel.

The conversation also delves into the influence of wrestling in the South, 80's and 90's wrestling, Ben's early memories of wrestling, and the significance of entrance themes in wrestling. We also explore the creative process behind writing themes, the impact of memorable wrestling themes, and Ben's approach to teaching guitar and inspiring students. In this engaging conversation, Ben Eller and I delve into the world of wrestling, music, and the intersection of creativity and technology.
We discuss Adam Jones of Tool playing on WWE Penta and Rey Fenix's entrance themes, the return of CM Punk to WWE, the significance of entrance themes in wrestling, and the evolving role of AI in music creation.
