Last night, the WWE hosted its 36th annual Survivor Series and to start it off, they called on Ozzy Osbourne to help them with the opening video. Check out the hilarious video, below. In it, Ozzy Osbourne “sings” along to Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” as wrestlers are interrupted by an air-raid siren. The crowd erupted with excitement when the Prince of Darkness showed up. It’s interesting to see a 73-year-old metal icon share the screen with the jacked-up and oiled human specimens that make up the WWE roster, but that’s nothing new. As always, it’s just Ozzy making big exaggerated faces and lip-syncing to the song and I’m not sure what else you were expecting.
WWE has worked with metal musicians before, like Ozzy Osbourne who was featured at a few live events. Motorhead has also played Triple H’s intro music live and new metal bands like Code Orange and Motionless in White are releasing wrestling-related music this year. With Triple H running the show since Vince McMahon was forced to retire earlier this year, I’d expect to see more metal making its way into Raw. The guy’s a certified metalhead, so it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s considering using Metallica or maybe some AC/DC to promote a big event.
The legendary musician and vocalist of Black Sabbath were joined by his son Jack Osbourne, and their presence lit up the sold-out arena in Chicago.
It has been watching the directions that WWE has been going as of late, and to see the rock and metal worlds being intertwined has us happy as a pig in shit. Who knows what could be next?!
I love music. I love crowded venues, loud music, and sweat-soaked fans. I love the sound of a venue opening its doors to the public.
Hey there! I have a wealth of experience in the entertainment and private event industries, having worked in various roles over the past 20 years. I have a private security background and have received training in defensive strategy, Krav Maga, festival security planning, and emergency response. I've worked at some fantastic concert venues and festivals, such as Emo's East, Stubb's, ACL Festival, Bonnaroo, and SXSW. I've also been fortunate to work in the box office for the Circuit of the Americas and the Germania Music Amphitheater music venue.
In 2014, I developed a passion for all things media-related and began exploring content creation and concert photography opportunities. I have no formal training in these areas, but in 2017, I decided to take it to the next level by pursuing a degree in the arts, specifically in radio, television, and film. I am currently a multimedia journalist for the student life department at ACC. I have received a scholarship from the Austin Film Society.
I've been blessed to have been mentored as a talent buyer under the legendary Mark Lee of 462 Concerts (now known as Live Nation) in Dallas, Tx, for nearly a decade. I've also had the opportunity to work as a camera operator for the Full Moon Features Puppetmaster sequel: Doktor Death and filmed multiple music videos, including SSB's feature single with Bernz, "Insane," and the Dirty Wormz dub hop single with Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko "2INCH REEL KILLA".
I truly believe in capturing the essence of life and representing it in a creative effort. Overall I'm passionate about my work and excited to share my experience and skills with others.
