I think James Wade's walk-on is by far the shittest. Best newcomer award a shootout between Devon Pietersen and Peter Wright (Pitbull "Don't Stop The Party")

I’d agree but this is funny because one of the best walk ons is when Steve Hine uses exactly the same song but starts luzzing muffins to the crowd during the song.
On the subject of Wade, It has amused me a little that he has been binned from the Premier League this year. He was a walking argument last year (Lewis and Taylor amongst others) causing his suspension and this seems Hearn’s way of keeping him in check after slagging off the UK Open draw. We all know Wade has mental health issues but darts is the last place you will get any sympathy.
Anyway, answer to the question is none of the above. John Parts imperial death march wins.

Drinking in the Golden Lion in Aldershot a lot which is the Pub that Wade still plays for on occasions ,there are a lot of rumours why he didn't make the premier league and it isn't due to health.

He certainly isn't popular amongst his fellow pro's that much is easy enough to see.
I think he walked out of one tournament after drawing MVG in the 1st round - that was the rumour anyway.

Well, what is in the public domain is ;
The PDC banned Wade for 4 months last year but never gave the full reasons.
Wade walked out of the UK Open after drawing MVG in the 1st round and then proceeded to slag off the PDC in a TV interview moaning about how he should have been seeded (which in a competition otherwise known as the FA Cup of darts strikes me as idiotic)
Wade threatened to walk off stage last year during a televised game versus Taylor. Taylor threw a broken flight of Wades into the crowd and Wade threw a strop. They had to separated backstage by Tommy Cox (one of the PDC founders who bears grudges). Wade lost 10-1 and visibly gave up after the referee refused to give Wade the game.
He also got up Whitlock’s nose (Wade beat him and then jumped around Kangaroo style) and had a set to with Lewis.
That’s just what we know about – there must be more behind the scenes. Hearn can do without the aggravation that Wade brings is my view
Entirely unrelated but my prediction for the year is that a darts player will get done for match fixing soon. There are some liquid markets on Betfair for strange scores and cases of players going off the boil with dreadful averages and then finding their feet again.

The Wade situation is interesting because the PDC are treading a thin line here.
If there is ANY argy-bargy on stage the camera and pundits are all over it. The presenters make it clear they like personalities, including goodies and baddies, or games with an edge. With James Wade they have this in abundance AND YET they've played it safe, citing health issues. Yet Wade not only entered the World Championships but made it to the Quarter-Finals, so further than Phil Taylor. I'd love to know the full story here, because you wouldn't discard the 2nd most successful PDC player ever and World No. 6 willy-nilly.

He should move to the BDO, I see Stompe has crossed the divide back the other way and more are sure to follow. Colin Monk is rumoured to be going back as well.

As much as I like my arrows, almost every 'walk on' tune is awful and everyone 'walking on' looks like a potential wife beater.
