If my Father-In-Law ever takes up professional wrestling (that ship has likely sailed, unfortunately. But, stranger things have happened), there's little doubt of what his intro music would be.
Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" has been his de facto anthem since I've known him, and likely years and years before.
Unfortunately, a plane crash outside of Gillsburg, Mississippi took the life of Ronnie Van Zant in his prime, so he never got to witness his song covered by Leningrad Cowboys, some Finnish dudes with faux pompadours, accompanied on tuba and accordion and freakin' balalaikas.
Not to mention an ensemble of Russians in full military garb, heartfully belting out a song about Dixie.
Happy Birthday, Tom!
