Positive-minded rockstar Andrew W.K. was interviewed by journeyofafrontman.com where he said he would love to be involved with a pro wrestling event at some point in the future and goes on to praise the art form. The ‘Party Hard’ singer who recently released his new album ‘You’re Not Alone‘ had this to say:
“I’m absolutely open to it. There are areas in the entertainment world and certainly in the athletic world that I have so much respect for. Sometimes I hesitate to participate because I don’t feel that I’m capable or I’m at the level that would be required to do a good job. So if someone asks me to play basketball for some high-level NBA event or even if it was just for fun, I would be so bad! (laughs) It’s the same with wrestling, I have no experience wrestling. The great thing about wrestling, and I also think this is what you’re getting at, is you don’t necessarily have to wrestle to participate in an event. There’s a lot that you can offer in different areas.
I would love, love to play music at a wrestling event, having my band play at some point during a show. As you are probably already aware, I’ve admired wrestling for the exact reasons you’ve described. There’s the intensity, the enthusiasm, the creativity, the athleticism, the incredible performance power that these individuals have. The entire mechanism that allows it to exist is entirely coming from the audience. It’s a really triumphant example of what an audience can make possible through their devotion to an entertainment offering. And I use entertainment as the highest compliment, not to say that there’s not athleticism involved. I always admire sports, but I think that professional wrestling is sports plus, it’s like sports with more. It encourages so much more creativity than it would be able to have if it was just fighting. It takes my emotions to that next level. So yeah, someday if the party gods make it so, I would love to do something.”
