Attention, WWE: nobody in attendance at WrestleMania last year paid to see Pitbull, LunchMoney Lewis, Stephen Marley or even Flo Rida. Using up 10-15 minutes of valuable pay-per-view time to push these musical interludes is flat out annoying, and it needs to stop.

Music can work on the big stage, but only if it's part of the wrestling. Please don't forget that matches are what people really paid to see, not some berk in a white suit jacket jumping around with back up dancers whilst everyone pays $13 for a beer at the bar and bemoans the fact they forgot to bring ear plugs.

Think of the iconic visuals created by Motörhead playing Triple H to the ring at 'Mania X-Seven, or Living Colour's performance of CM Punk's Cult Of Personality at WrestleMania 29. Those made sense, don't take up extra time and don't leave everyone in attendance irritated that Pitbull got more minutes on screen than Brock Lesnar.
