When a match is going on, no music should play. That should be a rule. There's no reason for music to play. It's fine if somebody else enters the arena to further a storyline, but to have music play and distract an opponent is completely unnecessary. Let the two or more competitors in the ring battle it out without somebody else's theme song playing. If a song plays, people end up turning their attention to the stage like idiots and usually lose the match right there. It doesn't help the winner or the loser of the match. Maybe WWE thinks it helps build up a rivalry between two people, but ultimately it just comes off as a cheesy way to end a match. If you're an experienced wrestler, shouldn't you be able to concentrate on what is going on in the ring instead of turning to face the entrance. That person isn't going to harm you. The one in the ring is there to beat you. Once again, though, we're supposed to believe that these trained professionals have no idea what they're doing out there.
