* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AByNjBJP1vY Goldberg's theme,]] "Invasion" -- i.e. the most awesome piece of stock music ever. When they get Megadeth to do a new theme for a guy, and it's generally considered a step ''down'' from a cheap bit of production music... well, you know that cheap bit of production music is something special.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59fIjKGf0IY&fmt=18 Diamond Dallas Page's "Self High Five",]] a [[{{TheJimmyHartVersion}} Jimmy Hart Version]] of "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

* And of course, the theme of the New World Order, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWZ0gJ0HAyA "Rockhouse".]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sECmQbwXo4Y "Natural Born Killaz"]] by Dr. Dre & Ice Cube, the theme for New Jack. So awesome that the song would play in its entirety DURING New Jack's matches. The gunshot sound was ECW's equivalent to glass shattering for Stone Cold Steve Austin: it was a cue for the crowd to go nuts.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2slTwRe4ATc Real American]]. Twenty years later, and people still mark out to it.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cDWPvhiPWg Everybody's got a price... Everybody's gonna pay... Cause the Million Dollar Man... ALWAYS!! gets his way...]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BY4PZQvfPE&feature=related Batista]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhSL7euYytw Word Life this is basic thuganomics, this is basic-basic thuganomics]].

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4l7w0NILseQ Jeff Hardy's most recent entrance song]] isn't bad either. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRdEJS7tOs4 And here's the full version!]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbLZ9lx-e5w Ultimate Warrior's theme]]. Sure, he wasn't the best wrestler in the world, but damn if his theme didn't capture his character perfectly.

** It should be noted that ChrisJericho doesn't only enter to CrowningMusicOfAwesome, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUSEmnYIne8 he also]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naC4kaN-P8g creates it]] courtesy of Fozzy (Not Fozzy Bear).

* Say what you will about Goldust but his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOCJJEF7POQ entrance theme]] is really catchy and was at one point rivaled that of TheUndertaker's entrance to the ring. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFFvje29bx0 Just watch this.]]

* Though it's horrible what became of the man himself in his last hours, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX7_muWoeJw&fmt=18 Chris Benoit's final theme]] is still pretty awesome.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp1RgC_iSpg Viva La Raza!!!]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBOZQGa5nbQ&feature=related The Perfect Theme for a Perfect man]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq9slakzti0 Well, it's the Big Show!!!.]]

** The second try at the JeriShow (Jericho/Big Show) theme worked much better, and definitely belongs here. It was appropriately titled [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OQhCWzOi9c&feature=related Crank the Walls Down]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhPFQzxhWeY&feature=related Kurt Angle's WWE theme]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXiYzRpi_zU&feature=channel_video_title Too many lies, too many lies.]] One thing agreed about Sheamus is that his theme music is awesome, fella!

* ''(hooooooooooooooonk))'' NOW LISTEN -- THIS AIN'T NO MAKE BELIEVE! [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4536sDCLqE John Morrison's theme]], which is [[TheJimmyHartVersion totally not supposed to be]] [[JimiHendrix "Burning Desire" by Jimi Hendrix]].

** Though [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6E9WzZ0K5Q Trish Stratus]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2alQs3AKtDk Lita's]] entrance music were both awesome.

** Even if Michelle McCool's theme has been traded around with Layla, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKBs91qFZiE it still is a good villain song.]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owJlUEaiQoo WOOOOAAAAAAH, YOU'RE ONLY SMOKE AND MIRRORS!]]

* BryanDanielson (or Daniel Bryan), man ever since moving to {{WWE}} his entrance music has sucked, but, what's that I hear now? Is...is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGU1P6lBW6Q&feature=related that]] [[RichardWagner Wagner]]?

* Who could forget [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6W-6z74zcE Big Daddy Cool Diesel's theme]] since his championship win in 1995?

* Gail Kim's new theme since returning in 2011 as a dual champion AlphaBitch heel knockout from hell, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5k1J80eY3M "Puppet on a String"]]. The "DAH DAH '''DAH'''! DAH DAH '''DAH'''!" guitar crush combined with the ominous string accompaniment just says [[SquashMatch "You're about to be epically trounced."]] to any opponent, and considering her long title reign, that's usually the case.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsAlphQ5ca4 The theme song]] of Winter (formerly WWE's Katie Lea Burchill) is quite possibly the best theme song in the entire Knockout division.

* Michinoku's theme wants to let you know that [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkxsYpO90BI TAKA IS COMING...]][[PrecisionFStrike MOTHERFUCKER,]] [[BadassBoast AND HE'S GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!]]

* TripleH always seems to have awesome music, especially that by Music/{{Motörhead}}, whether it's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBDdLbEQxUg&fmt=18 "The Game"]], "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrSZ09cpZsU&fmt=18 King of Kings]]", or the theme of his stable, Evolution, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0j5yjIV6qA "Line in the Sand"]]. Being the best friend of a heavy metal god has its perks.

* Former WWE Diva Sable had an [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epQ_S_YUBA0 entrance theme]] that sounded so purr-fect.

** There are people that like Steve Austin's original dark and creepy theme from when he started in the WWF in 1996.

** Mankind's original theme was dark and tragic, but soothing in a way. And the remix of it was rather catchy.

* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snW-5AHxYTA Break it Down]]", the infamous [[DGenerationX D-Generation X theme]], [[MisattributedSong which is not by Rage Against the Machine]], is still awesome today. For that matter, so was the DX take on [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnVLLBubVtM The King of Rock]]

* Gail Kim's return to the {{WWE}} didn't include the return of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BP1JlNNcYYE her awesome entrance theme]], sadly; trust WWE to [[MemeticMutation leave the memories alone.]]

* Bret "The Hitman" Hart's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btS0OVdqkb0 Hart Attack]] deserves mentioning. Like SCSA's, it's one of those few beats that's so distinctive that you know it roughly a quarter of a second after it starts playing.

* Can you slap a tornado? Matt Hardy can.]It just takes a little Mattitude, and an awesome song by Monster Magnet. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AEeyWrQN1g Entrance version]]. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Eb_IRMtV-4 Full song.]]

* Whoever didn't think [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnuMttZ-R30 THIS was awesome]] is getting an elbow from the Macho Man.

** Ryder's another one whose intro starts with an immediate, unmistakable attention-getter. It really does work. WWWYKI.

* Forget [=DiBiase=], Flair, and Michaels. Who is handsome, brave, and strong? Who enforces the law? [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc75sS6ya40 Who always gets his man]]?

* Mark Henry's theme music: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfQ3jDTaQ4g "Somebody Gon' Get It."]]

*** Interesting thing about Cult of Personality. WWE just ''happened'' to have the rights for that song purchased from back when they used it for Stone Cold Steve Austin's Hall of Fame induction, and that song just ''happened'' to be the one Punk used during the "Summer of Punk" back at his ROH days.

* Some are born to fly or in Evan Bourne's case are [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ltm55CcAtM born to win]].

* ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wduQJQGMO0U&feature=related What About Me]]'', Raven's WWE Theme

* Dolph Ziggler new remixed theme is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgSKvsCDkD0 PERFECTION]]!!!
* Despite his [[ScrewedByTheNetwork brief stay]] Kaval's theme was awesome.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8TZDIo21r8&fmt=18 The Harlem Heat theme]] (later used by Booker T when he went solo, and carried over into WWE and TNA).

-->'''Kevin Nash''': ''Cue the porno music!''

** And in his tenure in the nWo, Hulk Hogan used one of the most awesome songs ever as his entrance theme... [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhoXzVBc33o Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)"]]

* A.J. Styles' theme, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UL3iS9Wehq8 "I Am"]]. All the more awesome for being surrounded by the generic rock themes TNA usually pumps out.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0aML1-06tA "Take Over"]] - TheJimmyHartVersion of Evanescence's "My Last Breath" that served as the theme for Christian Cage.

* Samoa Joe's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfSmXYURcCs "Crush U Up"]] was an audio warning: Joe is coming to the ring, Joe is pissed off, [[MemeticMutation Joe is gonna kill you.]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=josQgndpRS0 AFI's Miseria Cantare]], CM Punk's Ring of Honor theme. Say what you will about [=ROHbots=], there's nothing like having them smack the barricades in unison to the beat of the opening drum fill.

*** Unfortunately, it was recently revealed that "WWE '12" will use "Graveyard Symphony."

-->[[IfYouKnowWhatIMean So imagine what I could do to you...]]

* The Beautiful People: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKZBGJgdz6w Cleansing the world, one ugly person at a time.]]

* BEER! MONEY! [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAxFqZmz9wU "Watch your money...and your alchohol."]] Take a Fall fits both Roode and Storm's individual characters and is awesome on its own as well.

* {{Edge}} + ''Metalingus'' + AlterBridge = [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GE5uT6DENU ON THIS DAY / I SEE CLEARLY / EVERYTHING HAS COME TO LIIIIIFE]].

** Ever since his injury (and return), people on YouTube have been giving him AlterBridge's ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQQpXqOcNaI&feature=fvwrel Coming Home]]'' as his "new" theme. It's suprisingly fitting for his character, and it's a shame he never got to actually use it.

* Special mention also goes out to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAiwmRVclrs Kurt Angle's theme]] with lyrics provided by John Cena's cousin, Tha Trademarc.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXgq3h9NfoQ Santino Marella's theme]] is slightly too bombastic for his character, and all the more awesome for it. ''La Vittoria è Mia'', indeed.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXgq3h9NfoQ Santino Marella's theme]] is slightly too bombastic for his character, and all the more awesome for it.

** It's the abrupt glass breaking at the beginning. There's just nothing sweeter than watching Rock/Mankind/whoever getting curb stomped by whoever when suddenly you hear basically somebody flinging a chair through a window as Stone Cold runs in to save the day. Really, what came after the glass could almost anything (and sometimes was). It was so effective, WWE starting adding abrupt opening noises to most of their big stars (the car crash for MickFoley, [[DwayneJohnson Rock]]'s louder "IF YOU SMEEEEELLLLLL...", TripleH has "Time to play the game!" followed by [[{{Motorhead}} Lemmy's]] EvilLaugh, TheBigShow's "WEEEEEEEEEEELL..." the explosion for {{Wrestler/Kane}}) but Stone Cold's was always the one that best said "Oh, you are ''fucked'' now."

* TripleH always seems to have awesome music, especially that by {{Motörhead}}, whether it's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBDdLbEQxUg&fmt=18 "The Game"]], "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrSZ09cpZsU&fmt=18 King of Kings]]", or the theme of his stable, Evolution, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0j5yjIV6qA "Line in the Sand"]]. Being the best friend of a heavy metal god has its perks.

** In the same vein, the version performed by {{Disturbed}} ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=284I-OZ5_yw&feature=related "Glass Shatters"]]) starting in 2001, is considered by many to be superior to the original variant of Austin's theme. One writer commented that you could give the song to [[{{Jobber}} Funaki]], and he'd become a main-eventer overnight. It was just that awesome.
