Sting/Sting
In the comments for Episode 33 on grapesofrad.com, William & Mary (not the university) got into a discussion over a case of mistaken identity regarding Sting the musician and Sting the former professional wrestler.
At one point, referencing a wrestling term-heavy comment left by the latter Sting, William asked Mary if she “really [thought the musician] would write using wrestling metaphors.”
Which got me to thinking. What if he had?
Here are a few Sting songs with wrestling metaphors:
- “Every Chair You Break”
- “Don’t Slam So Close to Me”
- “Englishman on Monday Night RAW”
- “De Do Do Do, Da DDT”
- “Message in a Throttle”
- “Desert Rope”
- “McMahon”
Can you think of some more? Leave them in the comments!

love at first Sting
Walking On The Mat
(Tag Team) Synchronicity
If You Hate Sombody Slam Them To The Mat And Put The Chokehold On Them
The Ring’s Too Big Without You
We’ll Fight Together
Bring On The Match
And my personal favorite (one that I could come up with a whole song for)
If I Ever Lose My Match To You
DUDE!!! Amazing.
A full song, eh…
You could say I lost my faith in my manager
You could say I lost my faith in the referee
You could say I don’t believe the announcer
You could say a whole lot worse but
If I ever lose my match to you
Then wrestling is what I wasn’t meant to do
Some might say I’m in over my head here in the ring
Some might say I’m lost without a tag team partner
Some might say this sport isn’t really my thing
Some can say anything they want about me
But
If I ever lose my match to you
Then wrestling is what I wasn’t meant to do
I just want to put you in your proper place
Wipe up this squared circle with your face
There are no miracles when the bell rings
You don’t want to hear that “one, two, three”
It may just be one of those things
When I dropkick you with my knee
But
If I ever lose my match to you
Then wrestling is what I wasn’t meant to do.
Excellent!!
this still makes me laugh every time i think about it.
