SirFozzie Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Was driving home tonight from the local steakhouse when my CD-changer (set on Random) hit one of the best wrestling songs of all time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaZGrxBvKYU "Badstreet, Atlanta GA" In my mind, one of the top 5 "Wrestling songs that you can listen to with your car windows down" The other four? Real American (there's still a little kid in me, who can't resist mimicking Hogan poses to this song) Demolition Hart Attack "Self-High Five" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SovietShooter Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Are we excluding any *real* songs, and only counting custom made stuff/songs actually performed by wrestlers? Badstreet USA - Michael PS Hayes Psycho - Konnan & the Mad One Girls In Cars - Robbie Dupree Sabu's Theme - Harry Slash & Slashtones My Baby Tonight - Roaddogg/Jeff Jarrett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Are we allowed to use actual songs (ie. Cult of Personality, Enter Sandman) for this, or just wrestler tunes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 http://youtu.be/2bXUWsBcbSA The song itself just sounds like the music you would hear when Jeff Bridges was on a stakeout in 8 MILLION WAYS TO DIE...but the opening is so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make their own categories, otherwise we have stuff like Tom Sawyer (I think Kerry Von Erich used that one in World Class) Forgot about Sabu's theme.

Greggulator Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I know it's knew but Bray's song was done by a dude who was in the Jesus & Mary Chain, one of the greatest bands of all-time. That wins. I actually played the song for my wife just telling her it was a dude who was in the J&MC before revealing it was a rasslin' song.In terms of traditional wrestling cheeze fests -- Bad Street USA, Bret's latter-day Hart Foundation remix, one of the mid-period Cena things that I'm forgetting, CM Punk's Converge rip off deal.

NikoBaltimore Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I'm really digging the Bray Wyatt theme. SHIELD's theme is a good simple tune that I like too. While AJ's new gimmick is Sting-lite, the song is really fricking badass. That is one of my favorites this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRGoldman Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 No love for Liger's theme? You can't listen to that song without thinking: 'this should be the theme music for a Japanese superhero'. Mission fucking accomplished, I'd say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakeMineGeek Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Man, I love so many wrestling theme songs, it's ridiculous. I even have a soft spot for the really awful ones that shouldn't be enjoyed like Hillbilly Jim's love ballad from the Piledriver album or that atrocious Trish Stratus song (yes, she's singing) from one of the later albums. But if we're talking about legit awesome, there's a ton of 80s WWF stuff that gets the nod including the aforementioned Real American, Demolition, and Girls In Cars. I also love Crank It Up, Jive Soul Bro, and Grab Them Cakes. When you pop into the 90s, you gotta mention Goldust, The Brood, and of course stuff like DX and Austin. I particularly enjoy the Run DMC version of the DX theme from one of those albums. WCW doesn't have as much that's memorable. nWo, of course. Hollywood Blondes. Some of the Horsemen stuff. I really enjoy the 3 Count theme as a guilty pleasure. If you go back to the NWA days, the Midnights, the Rock And Rolls, Flair, Freebirds... From Japan, I'd go with Liger, Kobashi, Kawada, Misawa, Magnum TOKYO, Sasaki, Masato Tanaka. ECW is a weird one because of all the "real" music but some of those are ingrained in my brain forever. Gangstas, Taz, Douglas, Awesome. I'm sure I'm leaving a ton out and will probably need to add more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 These usually found their way into my gym playlists: Batista - I Walk Alone Triple H - King of Kings Edge - Never Gonna Stop Christian - Close Your Eyes (Waterproof Blonde version) DX - The Kings Run DMX version Long before that I had a Mix CD of ECW theme songs but those are real songs. Labeled it as Extreme Mix and everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 This version of Michael's song will always be the best because Sherri is so awesome. If it wasn't for the accent, she could easily have fronted The Slits. God, I miss that woman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Scott Hall's knockoff TNA theme is probably the best bad theme song ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H. Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I have always had a deep love for "Jive Soul Bro" despite its blatantly racist music video. Scorpio's WCW theme remains the best theme of that period imo, I just dug the hell out of it. Seriously though, when it comes WWF 80s themes Dibiase's is king. The evil laugh on "Everybody's Got a Price" makes it aces. For sheer entertainment value, the cover of The Big Boss Man's theme on that All Japan CD is hilarity unto itself and is right up there with that cover of Kenny Loggins "Danger Zone" on the same disc.

Kuetsar Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 While Real American is the gold standard, Hogan's theme before that (off the wrestling album) is awesome in its own right. Got to show some love for the late 80's-early 90's electronic WCW theme's, like Sting's, Luger's and especially Doom's. "simply ravishing" is one of the few off slam jam that was worth a damn. . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
