Richards's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Loch Lomond. Wesson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Annie Get Your Gun. On his way into the cage it seems that Cliff Richards has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Cliff Richards seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
