If this theme isn't actually used as a final boss theme, the conditional tense makes more sense.


** As if Roman's turn as "The Tribal Chief" couldn't get anymore badass, they gave him a theme (aptly named [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0QT_teLcNk "Head of the Table"]]) that doesn't sound out of place as a final boss theme, appropriate for [=SmackDown=]'s most dominant superstar.

* Wrestling/BeckyLynch has "Celtic Invasion". The more popular Becky is, the more fans sing along to her entrance theme. Her theme is so popular that San Jose Barracuda ice hockey team plays this music whenever they score a goal.

Why do we watch [[ProfessionalWrestling wrestling]] again? Is it for the action? Is it for [[{{Fanservice}} the eye candy]]?

[[folder:WWE]][[folder:ECW]]
* The original ECW Theme song. [[http://youtu.be/T2T9e8CcgHE THIS IS EXTREEEEEEEME!]]
* [[Wrestling/AlPoling 911]] used [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1mV_5-bRPo The Edgar Winter Group's "Frankenstein"]]. When this music hit from mid-1994 to early 1996, someone was getting chokeslammed. After Wrestling/TheRoadWarriors' big run ended, and before [[Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin "When you hear the glass, it's your ass!"]], '''This''' was the music to fear in pro wrestling.
* [[Wrestling/{{ECW}} The Sandman's]] memorable One Night Stand '05 entrance to Music/{{Metallica}}'s "Enter Sandman" -- ''[[CrowdSong with the entire crowd of Mutants singing along]]''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJr4lMkElek Still the greatest entrance ever.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TgfOoxMu88 "It's all right, it's all right, it's all right I'm JUST A LITTLE CRAZY!"]]-[[Wrestling/{{Sabu}} "The Suicidal, Homicidal, Genocidal, Death-Defying" Sabu]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sECmQbwXo4Y "Natural Born Killaz"]] by Dr. Dre and Music/IceCube, the theme for Wrestling/NewJack. 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 Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin: it was a cue for the crowd to go nuts.
* [[Wrestling/TommyDreamer "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer]]: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAqZb52sgpU "Man in the Box"]]
* WWECW had a memorable [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dkjc-Tny68 theme.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_PAHbqq-o4 HEAD HEAD HEAD HEAD HEAD HEAD HEAD HEAD HEAD]]
* {{Wrestling/Raven}}'s theme,[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS8JNVV1Y-o "Come Out and Play (Keep 'Em Separated)",]] was perhaps the most unintentional VillainSong there ever was.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlnmNkMivHc "You better watch out, cause I'm a WAR MACHINE!"]] [[{{Wrestling/Tazz}} "The Human Suplex Machine" TAZ.]]
* [[http://youtu.be/M8Ahj6I7BLM AWESOME IS HIS NAME, ALL HIS VICTIMS FEEL THE PAIN! DROPPED WITH AN AWESOME BOMB, YOU GO DOWN AND YOU NEVER COME UP!]] Wrestling/MikeAwesome.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:NJPW]]
* Wrestling/KazuchikaOkada's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRCwNAC-XA8 return theme]] from Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling, Rainmaker, is fantastic. RAINMAKER! There's also his [=WrestleKingdom=] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oAm_r32nX0 theme]].
* From NJPW, we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c9DfPKAy70 Subconcious]], the theme song for the flamboyant "King of Strong Style", Wrestling/ShinsukeNakamura. Everything about it from the {{Epic Riff}}s, to the intense buildup this song perfectly captures the look and feel of Nakamura, [=YeaOh!=]
* Wrestling/MinoruSuzuki from NJPW might be a hard hitting brawler and former MMA fighter, but his theme song is, surprisingly, a light (and awesome) J-Rock song, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iybuD6CbfzE Kazu Ni Nare]]", by Ayumi Nakumura.
* Wrestling/TAKAMichinoku's theme wants to let you know that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3d9vF6QAnQ TAKA IS COMING...]][[PrecisionFStrike MOTHERFUCKER,]] [[BadassBoast AND HE'S GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!]]
* Hirooki Goto's NJPW theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAYrui7Xdqc Hado]]" has an opera feel to it with a OneWomanWail and a grand atmosphere.
* Black Dynamite's NJPW theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJhkH0gm5bQ Ghetto Strong Style]]". Yet another reason no one will ever forget ''that'' line Booker T said in WCW.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTdcrrujZFU Welcome]] to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ2SO2FtMQY the]] Wrestling/BulletClub. So many of the members also have awesome music. For example:
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV_WdxkryaY Real Rock'n Rolla]] [[Wrestling/FergalDevitt Prince Devitt]] is rolling into the club and ready to take over.
** Bad Luck Fale, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvCiGoK8hmU The Underboss]] you gotta go through to get to the top gun, has no intention on making it easy.
** Wrestling/TheYoungBucks are bringin' their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwLETOQMM6U Double Barrel]] of superkicks to the party tonight.
** MACHINE GUN! With Wrestling/KarlAnderson in the club, you can rest assured you are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0GtC3zA_4Q Never Alone]].
** Doc Gallows brings that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka8prYp-12M Baz]], as to be expected from a powerful outlaw who can't be locked down except to be a good brother to his crew.
** Whether in the ring or when he's with the ladies, Yujiro Takahashi is ready to go [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uvhnpo9yPoQ All Night Long.]]
** AJ Styles is an elite shooter prepared to fuck up your dreams, and your life, with a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5jc4UAEOZA Styles Clash.]]

** The Wrestling/GuerrillasOfDestiny come to the ring with a chill yet foreboding air, fitting their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWAeRdeNYJE Guerrilla Tactics.]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_Ta46dMimE ADAM COLE BAY-BAY!]]
** The American Nightmare, Wrestling/CodyRhodes gets Downstait[[note]]the band behind the themes of Wrestling/TheMiz, Wrestling/DolphZiggler, Wrestling/ZackRyder, and Alex Riley, as well as a fan remix of Wrestling/SethRollins's theme[[/note]] to tell you that he is his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FITbySMOyVo Kingdom.]]
** Ushering in a new [=CutThroat Era=] for pro wrestling as a whole, Wrestling/JayWhite implores everyone to breathe with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVj5BXF5ZUo Switchblade.]]
** The time to sit back and survey the territory. Now is the time to strike. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgW6XYSERpo G.o.D (Firing Squad)]] has landed.
* Wrestling/TomohiroIshii's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YavKnS5LqaM Stone Pitbull]]" is J-Rock with an occasional ominous gangsta rap ambience and it accentuates the man's own pure badass aura.
* Also in Japan, somebody decided to give pro wrestler/kickboxer/cultural icon Wrestling/BobSapp the chance to record a song. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceCRgf5tf0g The results]] are [[SoBadItsGood awesomely horrible. Or horribly awesome.]] You decide!
* Speaking of Bob Sapp: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Wq0YdbHlxo it takes a real man to make Madonna's "Holiday" an awesome entrance theme.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:TNA]]
* Wrestling/AJStyles' theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UL3iS9Wehq8 "I Am"]]. All the more awesome for being surrounded by the generic rock themes TNA usually pumps out.
** Now, the remixed version. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJS5AXoXSDw Get Ready to Fly!]]
** The remixed version [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFMmnXebzr8 before the remixed version]] which had in 2007 is pretty tight too.
** "Evil Ways" (his 2013 theme as Dark!AJ) breaks the "I Am" cycle but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob3ZAPPjRhI is still pretty badass]].
* Special mention also goes out to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAiwmRVclrs Kurt Angle's theme]] with lyrics provided by Wrestling/JohnCena's cousin, Tha Trademarc. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKtaAELZ58M His original TNA theme]] (which served as the base for his Trademarc theme) isn't so bad, either.
* [[MemeticMutation BREE WOO BREE WOO]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkbKAp3YTgw BREE WOO WAA]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNLwQPho25k Suicide comes alive]], and proves TNA's getting better at the whole "theme music" thing.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0aML1-06tA "Take Over"]] - a SuspiciouslySimilarSong version of Evanescence's "My Last Breath" that served as the theme for [[Wrestling/{{Christian}} Christian Cage]].
* When you hear the gunshots, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_5ui0TCMHU LAX is goin' 5150 on your ass.]]
* Wrestling/TheBeautifulPeople: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKZBGJgdz6w Cleansing the world, one ugly person at a time.]] a SuspiciouslySimilarSong version of "Drag You Down" by Finger Eleven.
* D'Angelo Dinero's theme. Remember people, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPWg-Iw545g The Pope is pimpin'!!]]
* Abyss' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SLqy4gqpH8 "Catacombs"]] has served him well during his run, and is one of the most recognizable and unique themes TNA has to offer. Unfortunately switched out for a SuspiciouslySimilarSong verson of "Sound of Madness" by Shinedown.
* Wrestling/SamoaJoe's [[https://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.]] And then there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBl8mALX61E his rap theme]], which is probably the best entrance theme he's had since leaving Wrestling/RingOfHonor.
* From the NWA years:
-->''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEGndAVpFeA You are my sunshine, my only sunshine...]]''
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Evp_akZkpKw Sarita and Taylor Wilde]] have a positively electric theme that has really helped them to stand out in the Knockouts division.
* BEER! MONEY! [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAxFqZmz9wU "Watch your money...and your alcohol."]] Take a Fall fits both Wrestling/BobbyRoode and Wrestling/JamesStorm's individual characters and is awesome on its own as well.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqhHu2ogk2Q Storm]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LVp3V2IRJM Roode's]] individual themes are quite awesome as well.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS0U-5zorO4 Storm]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWXAWmY8C9I Roode's]] new themes are [[UpToELeven even more awesome]] than their originial themes.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3FJ4hZHrp8 Every]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FA9wNoDvKLY thing]] Wrestling/JeffHardy [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjLK4AW3tKk has]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIhRwOeIHjo ever]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgwWzUW9yI4 used]]. [[https://youtu.be/8QYvqDr7kCo This]] [[https://youtu.be/fTLtZM_Ters song]] in particular classifies the rest of Jeff's themes as [[MemeticMutation OBSOLETE!]]
* It may be a [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong a bit inspired]] by Queen's general sound, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YAzkR-VZ6g Curt Hennig's TNA theme]] is the ultimate mix of NarmCharm and epic.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pES3Vmou5E The theme song]] of [[Wrestling/KatarinaWaters Winter (formerly WWE's Katie Lea Burchill)]] is quite possibly the best theme song in the entire Knockout division.
* Frankly, any time that Dale Oliver is given carte blanche and doesn't have to try and do a SuspiciouslySimilarSong version of a wrestler's previous theme, he can be pretty impressive.
* [[Wrestling/{{Fortune}} We are, we are, Fortune Four! We are, we are, Fortune Four!]] [[BadassBoast We 'bout to change some thangs!]] [[http://youtu.be/AF5USlhkTg8 We 'bout to change some thangs!]]
* Wrestling/GailKim 's new theme since returning in 2011 as a dual champion AlphaBitch heel knockout from hell, "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.
* Sting's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCF9-FvaR7k theme]]. The crowd goes nuts anytime this starts up. For that matter, Sting's RealSongThemeTune [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQsFNhQYqzQ from Final Resolution 2006]]. Despite being made five years prior to his using it, it feels like it was practically made for the man.
* Ladies and gentlemen… [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIt3KLsWxGA E. C. 3.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-kLF2Mx6IY MVP's new theme]] is strictly the bomb. Suspenseful intro, powerful sound, and arguably the best hip hop vocals of any pro wrestler. What's more, Dale Oliver had nothing to do with this one, it was [[DoItYourselfThemeTune all MVP]].
* While simple, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2MFnOUnIJ8 Tomko's]] theme definitely set the tone for him coming out and kicking ass.
* Eric Young's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtYO684sZc4 theme]] [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic music]] deserves a mention. One Website/{{YouTube}}r even commented on it saying that it's hard NOT to bang your head to it.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:WCW]]
* The theme from ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'', the "Dawn" section of Richard Strauss' "Music/AlsoSprachZarathustra". If you don't already know [[Wrestling/RicFlair which wrestler]] used that song, then you wouldn't be reading this page anyway. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-BkQS8eYec WOOOOOOOOOO!]]
* Wrestling/{{Goldberg}}'s [[https://youtu.be/M9udAirjw3U 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. WWE would try and replicate Wrestling/{{Goldberg}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXakXogkfME theme when he came into the company]] (instead of buying the rights to the original theme). They managed to hit the [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong musical equivalent]] of the UncannyValley, and despite this, it still manages to sound amazing. His [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3YrId6etLA other WWE theme however]], is a lot more true to the original "Invasion."
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvmaR5CjZG8 Sting's 4th theme]], used when he was doing a gimmick based loosely on ''Film/TheCrow''.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfLvLvn_ojE Chris Jericho's "One Crazed Anarchist"]] (which is [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong totally not Pearl Jam's "Evenflow"]]).
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBUm8RU8P-s The last Four Horsemen theme.]] As well as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1viR3yrt9_I the one before that.]]
* Wrestling/DiamondDallasPage's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YsUEFf521I "Self High Five",]] a SuspiciouslySimilarSong version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit". DDP also got [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_N96h-Wz7A "Dog"]], so close to the end of WCW that it's pretty much a wasted song.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVUzz3M_D8s Raven's theme,]] which is what happens when you put SuspiciouslySimilarSong versions of Music/{{Nirvana}}'s "Come As You Are" and Music/LynyrdSkynyrd's "That Smell" into a blender. Along with copious amounts of awesome, of course.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GhBi6WTVB4 The Harlem Heat theme]] (later used by Wrestling/BookerT when he went solo, and carried over into WWE and TNA). It's also another one of those themes that have become so iconic that you can recognize who's coming about half a second into the music.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4FAqqBFSYg The Hollywood Blonde's Theme]] is an awesome piece of rock music, and would end up being used by several wrestlers in WCW over the years. Doesn't stop it from being badass.

* As a {{face}}, Hulk Hogan is "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4fQd1y4QuY American Made]]", but somehow not a [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong Real American]]. The song, sadly, belonged to the WWF (now WWE) who hold the copyright on it, despite the song supposedly being written by Wrestling/JimmyHart and, as we all know, performed by Derringer. Jimmy Hart helped write "American Made" for Hogan when he made the jump to WCW since they needed something to fit Hogan's then still pristine 'hero' image. It actually worked pretty well, all things considered. It was actually a reversal of fates for Hogan and Flair. When Flair had jumped to the WWF, he had to use a knock-off rendition of his classic theme. When Hogan made his way to WCW, he couldn't use Real American, and so he and Hart created what was essentially its SpiritualSuccessor.
* WCW resisted the urge to give Wrestling/{{Psicosis}} generic Mexican sounding music and instead gave him a Music/KingCrimson inspired theme called "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY5cXqOg9aI Get Back]]".

* Wrestling/{{Vader}} had a pair of badass theme songs. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y41MM76dUA0 His first]] was a menacing down-tuned guitar riff inspired by Music/BlackSabbath's ''I'', and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwK4Ox0msao his second]] sounds like a blizzard descending on the Rocky Mountains.

[[folder:WWE / WWF / WWWF]]



* The video game ''WWF Attitude'' included, as one of its stock themes, a title called "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1RywiDih8k Crimson Grin]]". Let's put it this way. Every kid with a wrestling game with a CAW mode has made a bloodthirsty demonic heel to be Kane turned UpToEleven... and in Attitude, it's a safe bet to say most of them used Crimson Grin as their theme. Actually, for an otherwise mediocre game, Attitude had a lot of great generic themes, although they tend to be hard to find even on Youtube...



[[folder:WCW]]
* The theme from ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'', the "Dawn" section of Richard Strauss' "Music/AlsoSprachZarathustra". If you don't already know [[Wrestling/RicFlair which wrestler]] used that song, then you wouldn't be reading this page anyway. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-BkQS8eYec WOOOOOOOOOO!]]
* Wrestling/{{Goldberg}}'s [[https://youtu.be/M9udAirjw3U 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. WWE would try and replicate Wrestling/{{Goldberg}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXakXogkfME theme when he came into the company]] (instead of buying the rights to the original theme). They managed to hit the [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong musical equivalent]] of the UncannyValley, and despite this, it still manages to sound amazing. His [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3YrId6etLA other WWE theme however]], is a lot more true to the original "Invasion."
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvmaR5CjZG8 Sting's 4th theme]], used when he was doing a gimmick based loosely on ''Film/TheCrow''.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfLvLvn_ojE Chris Jericho's "One Crazed Anarchist"]] (which is [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong totally not Pearl Jam's "Evenflow"]]).
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBUm8RU8P-s The last Four Horsemen theme.]] As well as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1viR3yrt9_I the one before that.]]
* Wrestling/DiamondDallasPage's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YsUEFf521I "Self High Five",]] a SuspiciouslySimilarSong version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit". DDP also got [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_N96h-Wz7A "Dog"]], so close to the end of WCW that it's pretty much a wasted song.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVUzz3M_D8s Raven's theme,]] which is what happens when you put SuspiciouslySimilarSong versions of Music/{{Nirvana}}'s "Come As You Are" and Music/LynyrdSkynyrd's "That Smell" into a blender. Along with copious amounts of awesome, of course.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GhBi6WTVB4 The Harlem Heat theme]] (later used by Wrestling/BookerT when he went solo, and carried over into WWE and TNA). It's also another one of those themes that have become so iconic that you can recognize who's coming about half a second into the music.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4FAqqBFSYg The Hollywood Blonde's Theme]] is an awesome piece of rock music, and would end up being used by several wrestlers in WCW over the years. Doesn't stop it from being badass.
* And of course, the theme of the Wrestling/NewWorldOrder, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAt-rrf1isA "Rockhouse".]]

[[folder:ECW]]
* The original ECW Theme song. [[http://youtu.be/T2T9e8CcgHE THIS IS EXTREEEEEEEME!]]
* [[Wrestling/AlPoling 911]] used [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1mV_5-bRPo The Edgar Winter Group's "Frankenstein"]]. When this music hit from mid-1994 to early 1996, someone was getting chokeslammed. After Wrestling/TheRoadWarriors' big run ended, and before [[Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin "When you hear the glass, it's your ass!"]], '''This''' was the music to fear in pro wrestling.
* [[Wrestling/{{ECW}} The Sandman's]] memorable One Night Stand '05 entrance to Music/{{Metallica}}'s "Enter Sandman" -- ''[[CrowdSong with the entire crowd of Mutants singing along]]''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJr4lMkElek Still the greatest entrance ever.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TgfOoxMu88 "It's all right, it's all right, it's all right I'm JUST A LITTLE CRAZY!"]]-[[Wrestling/{{Sabu}} "The Suicidal, Homicidal, Genocidal, Death-Defying" Sabu]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sECmQbwXo4Y "Natural Born Killaz"]] by Dr. Dre and Music/IceCube, the theme for Wrestling/NewJack. 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 Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin: it was a cue for the crowd to go nuts.
* [[Wrestling/TommyDreamer "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer]]: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAqZb52sgpU "Man in the Box"]]
* WWECW had a memorable [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dkjc-Tny68 theme.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_PAHbqq-o4 HEAD HEAD HEAD HEAD HEAD HEAD HEAD HEAD HEAD]]
* {{Wrestling/Raven}}'s theme,[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS8JNVV1Y-o "Come Out and Play (Keep 'Em Separated)",]] was perhaps the most unintentional VillainSong there ever was.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlnmNkMivHc "You better watch out, cause I'm a WAR MACHINE!"]] [[{{Wrestling/Tazz}} "The Human Suplex Machine" TAZ.]]
* [[http://youtu.be/M8Ahj6I7BLM AWESOME IS HIS NAME, ALL HIS VICTIMS FEEL THE PAIN! DROPPED WITH AN AWESOME BOMB, YOU GO DOWN AND YOU NEVER COME UP!]] Wrestling/MikeAwesome.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:TNA]]
* Wrestling/AJStyles' theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UL3iS9Wehq8 "I Am"]]. All the more awesome for being surrounded by the generic rock themes TNA usually pumps out.
** Now, the remixed version. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJS5AXoXSDw Get Ready to Fly!]]
** The remixed version [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFMmnXebzr8 before the remixed version]] which had in 2007 is pretty tight too.
** "Evil Ways" (his 2013 theme as Dark!AJ) breaks the "I Am" cycle but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob3ZAPPjRhI is still pretty badass]].
* Special mention also goes out to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAiwmRVclrs Kurt Angle's theme]] with lyrics provided by Wrestling/JohnCena's cousin, Tha Trademarc. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKtaAELZ58M His original TNA theme]] (which served as the base for his Trademarc theme) isn't so bad, either.
* [[MemeticMutation BREE WOO BREE WOO]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkbKAp3YTgw BREE WOO WAA]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNLwQPho25k Suicide comes alive]], and proves TNA's getting better at the whole "theme music" thing.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0aML1-06tA "Take Over"]] - a SuspiciouslySimilarSong version of Evanescence's "My Last Breath" that served as the theme for [[Wrestling/{{Christian}} Christian Cage]].
* When you hear the gunshots, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_5ui0TCMHU LAX is goin' 5150 on your ass.]]
* Wrestling/TheBeautifulPeople: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKZBGJgdz6w Cleansing the world, one ugly person at a time.]] a SuspiciouslySimilarSong version of "Drag You Down" by Finger Eleven.
* D'Angelo Dinero's theme. Remember people, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPWg-Iw545g The Pope is pimpin'!!]]
* Abyss' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SLqy4gqpH8 "Catacombs"]] has served him well during his run, and is one of the most recognizable and unique themes TNA has to offer. Unfortunately switched out for a SuspiciouslySimilarSong verson of "Sound of Madness" by Shinedown.
* Wrestling/SamoaJoe's [[https://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.]] And then there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBl8mALX61E his rap theme]], which is probably the best entrance theme he's had since leaving Wrestling/RingOfHonor.
* From the NWA years:
-->''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEGndAVpFeA You are my sunshine, my only sunshine...]]''
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Evp_akZkpKw Sarita and Taylor Wilde]] have a positively electric theme that has really helped them to stand out in the Knockouts division.
* BEER! MONEY! [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAxFqZmz9wU "Watch your money...and your alcohol."]] Take a Fall fits both Wrestling/BobbyRoode and Wrestling/JamesStorm's individual characters and is awesome on its own as well.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqhHu2ogk2Q Storm]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LVp3V2IRJM Roode's]] individual themes are quite awesome as well.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS0U-5zorO4 Storm]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWXAWmY8C9I Roode's]] new themes are [[UpToELeven even more awesome]] than their originial themes.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3FJ4hZHrp8 Every]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FA9wNoDvKLY thing]] Wrestling/JeffHardy [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjLK4AW3tKk has]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIhRwOeIHjo ever]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgwWzUW9yI4 used]]. [[https://youtu.be/8QYvqDr7kCo This]] [[https://youtu.be/fTLtZM_Ters song]] in particular classifies the rest of Jeff's themes as [[MemeticMutation OBSOLETE!]]
* It may be a [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong a bit inspired]] by Queen's general sound, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YAzkR-VZ6g Curt Hennig's TNA theme]] is the ultimate mix of NarmCharm and epic.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pES3Vmou5E The theme song]] of [[Wrestling/KatarinaWaters Winter (formerly WWE's Katie Lea Burchill)]] is quite possibly the best theme song in the entire Knockout division.
* Frankly, any time that Dale Oliver is given carte blanche and doesn't have to try and do a SuspiciouslySimilarSong version of a wrestler's previous theme, he can be pretty impressive.
* [[Wrestling/{{Fortune}} We are, we are, Fortune Four! We are, we are, Fortune Four!]] [[BadassBoast We 'bout to change some thangs!]] [[http://youtu.be/AF5USlhkTg8 We 'bout to change some thangs!]]
* Wrestling/GailKim 's new theme since returning in 2011 as a dual champion AlphaBitch heel knockout from hell, "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.
* Sting's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCF9-FvaR7k theme]]. The crowd goes nuts anytime this starts up. For that matter, Sting's RealSongThemeTune [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQsFNhQYqzQ from Final Resolution 2006]]. Despite being made five years prior to his using it, it feels like it was practically made for the man.
* Ladies and gentlemen… [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIt3KLsWxGA E. C. 3.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-kLF2Mx6IY MVP's new theme]] is strictly the bomb. Suspenseful intro, powerful sound, and arguably the best hip hop vocals of any pro wrestler. What's more, Dale Oliver had nothing to do with this one, it was [[DoItYourselfThemeTune all MVP]].
* While simple, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2MFnOUnIJ8 Tomko's]] theme definitely set the tone for him coming out and kicking ass.
* Eric Young's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtYO684sZc4 theme]] [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic music]] deserves a mention. One Website/{{YouTube}}r even commented on it saying that it's hard NOT to bang your head to it.

* Wrestling/KazuchikaOkada's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRCwNAC-XA8 return theme]] from Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling, Rainmaker, is fantastic. RAINMAKER! There's also his [=WrestleKingdom=] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oAm_r32nX0 theme]].
* From NJPW, we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c9DfPKAy70 Subconcious]], the theme song for the flamboyant "King of Strong Style", Wrestling/ShinsukeNakamura. Everything about it from the {{Epic Riff}}s, to the intense buildup this song perfectly captures the look and feel of Nakamura, [=YeaOh!=]
* Wrestling/MinoruSuzuki from NJPW might be a hard hitting brawler and former MMA fighter, but his theme song is, surprisingly, a light (and awesome) J-Rock song, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iybuD6CbfzE Kazu Ni Nare]]", by Ayumi Nakumura.



* Hirooki Goto's NJPW theme "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAYrui7Xdqc Hado]]" has an opera feel to it with a OneWomanWail and a grand atmosphere.
* Black Dynamite's NJPW theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJhkH0gm5bQ Ghetto Strong Style]]". Yet another reason no one will ever forget ''that'' line Booker T said in WCW.

** The time to sit back and survey the territory. Now is the time to strike. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgW6XYSERpo G.o.D (Firing Squad)]] has landed.



* Wrestling/TomohiroIshii's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YavKnS5LqaM Stone Pitbull]]" is J-Rock with an occasional ominous gangsta rap ambience and it accentuates the man's own pure badass aura.
* "Scorched Ops", aka "We Are The House Of Truth"[=/=]Wrestling/JayLethal's theme. It's so good at establishing a big match atmosphere even the usually rowdy ROH crowds tend go quiet down for it, banging on the barricades aside.
