Entrance Music Checker?

I tend to try to have my characters have unique Entrance music. Not entirely sure what everybody else's approach is.

My argument for: If Wrestler A and Wrestler B are part of a tag team or stable, they may share and entrance song to signify the unity. However, if Wrestler A and B are completely different wrestlers that would only ever cross paths across the ring from one another, then when both enter to "Judas" and they aren't playing mind games with each other, there's a bit of a lost story element. That's not to say that there couldn't be some fun to be had if they had the same song, thus potentially creating an alliance or a rivalry based around it.

In hopefully a less confusing description, if "Judas" starts playing over the arena's speakers and Wrestlers A and B aren't allied, then the crowd doesn't know immediately who it is they are about to see, and a checker, whether or not enforced, could help curtail this fictional confusion. After all, entrance music is as much a part of the character's gimmick as their gear.

Feel free to give other reasons that you are for this idea, reasons that you are against it, or reasons you are indifferent towards it.

I think it's a great idea, albeit maybe not as strong enforced as image reference checker. Solely because I can't actually recall a time someone has used a song someone else is using. Images on the other hand... (There must be a hundred Ristys, Erza Scarletts, Sonico etc in circulation)

I've seen a handful of times when somebody has used the same entrance music as somebody else or even when I wanted to use a song, but somebody else was using it. So I opted not to use that song. It's not as easy to spot as the same image on a visual medium like this forum.

In an attempt to include Bear's suggestion on the board, I tried to sort of meld entrance music checking into the reference checker thread. If you feel that this could be optimized better or doesn't tackle this issue well enough, please let me know.

Oh cool! Probably should have taken it for a test drive before I posted my first girl here :P

We're still young and the chances of references overlapping is very low. So you're good lol.
