The music video for The Ex-Bombers “Get the Experience” happens on the “Duo Championship Wrestling” studio television program for WRSL UHF 49. The Does (wrestlers from NWA / top independents) and their manager New York Bro interrupt The Ex-Bombers' performance and it devolves into absolute mayhem. This bedlam is all captured live in the television studio as a long take without a single cut.

“Get the Experience” by The Ex-Bombers is the theme song for the number one professional wrestling podcast in the world (the “Jim Cornette Experience,” starting with episode 518). Using a dirty Hagstrom 8-string bass, a Trixon drum set, and massive tape echo-y vocals, the song is part glam and glitter rock in the vein of The Sweet / Queen and part 1990s WCW entrance theme. In the great tradition of Splendora, it is a real song by a real band who genuinely believes in the show.

The music video takes place on an 80s/90s-style territory wrestling television program called “Duo Championship Wrestling” on the UHF station WRSL 49. The Ex-Bombers come out to perform their hit song, when The Does (Jeremiah Plunkett [from the National Wrestling Alliance] and the bruising brawler Jay Kross) and their slimeball manager New York Bro (DJ Luke Warm) interrupt the pair. Things escalate, it gets physical, and it leads to absolute mayhem in the great tradition of Memphis / Florida Championship Wrestling. The only semblance of order is maintained by WWE/WWF referee Jack Doan (who returns to wrestling after a 10 year hiatus) and the Hardcore Grip Matt Hatter.

The production is a daring long take without the use of a single cut, meaning that the entirety of the segment was one continual shot. A studio broadcast camera operator (Josh Grube) filmed the action in the style of a more stylized territory wrestling program (as the dolly allowed for more kinetic motion) capturing tennis racket (and 8-string bass) shots, throwing powder, and two full-sized wrestlers falling onto concrete all while a band attempts to play a song.

All of set dressing, props, and costumes were created by (or located by) The Ex-Bombers including The Does' custom masks and vests, the hand-painted Duo Championship Wrestling banner, the championship belts (in conjunction with ProAm belts), the vintage referee shirt with DCW patch, New York Bro's outfit (including vintage Zubaz and leather fanny pack), period-correct tennis racket, tag-team leather blazers, and more. Additionally the video features period-specific broadcast graphics, typefaces, and animation.
