"PSA: If you’re attending the Iowa-Okie State wrestling meet today, it sounds like lots of Hawk fans will be stomping and clapping to “We Will Rock You” when Spencer comes out. Sounds like the beginning of a cool tradition! #GoHawks"

This isn't real is it?

 

[Novakht]

I think we should start a new tradition-- everytime Spencer wins in Carver--each fan sticks their hand out like they are waiting for an opponent to shake it--just like he does!

No offense, but it reminds me of the thread where a poster attempts to shame fans for not wearing the correct color to the dual today.

If you don't wear black to the meet today today you're a special kind of db.

I heard another song under consideration for the Spencer Lee thing was "When the Going Gets Tough" by Billy Ocean.

The correct color is a green sweater. Amiright?

Oh my God. Terrible.

It worked in HS why not now?

 

[elmorescrouts]

Tool “sober” would be nice. Worked for @McDominate16

 

[MepoDawg#]

Don’t like it then don’t participate, but don’t knock others who do.

 

[texas twister]

Had a kid's club named "Hawks". We sang it as "We will, we will Hawk you".

That would be corny AF... Cringeworthy.

 

[bojihawk]

This is great, college sports are so much about emotion... this should help with that

 

[SPOONER]

It feels like something organized by an absolute dork 50 year old. Simply awful.

A song by Queen was not what I was hoping for I really thought AC/DC Back in Black is perfect but whatever works. As long as he is standing on the ankle band with hand out waiting I’m good with it...

Thunderstruck is close to my heart. Best entrance song ever.

I thought it was "Forty Six and 2". I could be wrong.

Isn't that our famous mr WDM?

seems a bit harsh for a guy who does his best to keep the enthusiasm up for the team.

I haven't a clue who came up with it. Just telling you what it feels like.

Did it actually happen?

Spencer needs a few tips from Turk and Sorensen on choosing a walk out song... Boggles my mind if he truly took time and actually thought We Will Rock You was a good idea.

Turks theme song with with Lee starting off the dual would be money.

 

[DonHawkeye]

Or maybe a nice obscure christian rock band to get the juices flowing.

 

[2000hawk]

I liked Spencer’s walkout choice. Nick Moore remains my favorite though.

No big deal, pump. Just saw it posted on the Iowa Wrestling Fans Facebook page and figured I'd help them promote the idea.

Turns out the music is so loud by itself that I don't know how much difference it would make if the fans joined in, actually -- especially with the concrete floor in Carver. Now, in the old Fieldhouse, it would have been phenomenal! That place would have been deafening, because the stomps would have made a massive rumble on those metal bleachers.

Anyway, no biggie. Nobody's obligated to think it's a good idea. I do think it would be very cool if most of the fans in a packed Carver did it, as a show of support for Spencer and the guys, but I won't be losing any sleep over it.

As for Spencer's choice, one thing I like about it is the "WE" -- he's making it about the team and not himself, and he wants to set the tone for the TEAM. I find that pretty cool. Kid is mature way beyond his years.

Heck, I’d put up with a Weird Al tune if it motivated Spencer to come out and dominate NATO.

How bout Nickleback or Creed??

Really, I got one for you. MTV's Bully Beatdown used to use "Monster," by Skillet when the bully would come out.

I'd love it if they played My Bologna...


But really, I recommend this (after the 2nd law of thermodynamics lead in):

 

[elmorescrouts]

I thought it was "Forty Six and 2". I could be wrong.

Could be he used both. I remember the walk out music going quite long waiting for TV one day and “Jesus, won’t you f***** whistle” playing over the sound system at Carver. An ear muff moment for some.

 

[SPOONER]

Btw, if it's actually and truly Spencer Lee who wanted that song as his walk out music I retract any prior comments. He can pick whatever song he wants.

 

[CP84]

I'd rather just see the crowd chant kill, kill, kill... when Lee beats his opponents.

I'm all for it, as long as he comes out like the Purple Cobras, fog machine and all:

 

[The Vak]

Love Spencer, this is a bit cliche, though. There are better Queen songs he could go with if he loves the band....

 

[el dub]

LOL I’m so cloistered that I have no idea what they sound like.

 

[merr6267]

You're better off.

If it gets him pumped up then who gives a crap what he picks.

This reminds of the green sweater post, just let the guys live.

Fair enough...

 

[SansSouci]

F*** one for the Hawks.Of course it has to be dark with one light fading in and out moving around Carver in the long intro. Then hit the tunnel when the base come in. Long and grandiose? Yes. Lyrics are nice though, as if they were about wrestling.
