I dont know why I wasnt able to figure out Dom wrote this until I got to number 1. I like most of these songs on the list, but I just cant remember a couple of them (the goon, waylon mercy). Any omissions? A couple I can think of:

1. the Ultimate Warrior
2. Ahmed Johnson
3. the Rougeaus

Great article. I have to go with the Rougeaus' "All-American Boys" here as my #1. There are entrance themes that are not "great", but associated with the wrestlers themselves, they made me mark out when I heard them (Randy Savage, Mr.Perfect). Slick's "Jive Soul Bro" was pretty good too.

On a lighter side:

I'm The Mountie! I'm handsome, I'm brave, I'm strong!
I'm The Mountie! And I enforce the law!
You can try to run, but you can never hide,
Because THE MOUNTIE –
ALWAYS GETS HIS MAN!

We're NOT The Mounties! We're handsome, we're brave, we're strong!

Like I say at the bottom, I'm kinda upset that I didn't include "Grab Them Cakes" at the expense of Fit Finlay's theme, but I thought I had to include one generic metal track in there.

Also, there's some heel tag team on the indies called something like Los Hermanos Talibanes who enter the ring to "Backstreet's Back". Genius. Really, any ire inducing use of pop as a wrestling theme is classic, especially the original FBI sauntering to the ring to N-Trance's take on "Stayin' Alive", which works on so many levels.

Maybe "Real American" should have got on there. "I Wanna Be A Hulkamaniac", on the other hand, shouldn't.

I have a gigabytes worth of wrestling MP3s on my hard drive if anyone wants them...

I left a comment extolling the virtues of the Nation's 1998 theme.

Who was the dude in ECW who came out to 'here comes the hotstepper' (or what it highstepper?) by ini kamoze? Also, what about Whipwreck?

Dom do you have that song 'piledriver' from the wrestling album?

― Dude, are you a 15 year old asian chick? (jingleberries), Friday, 11 February 2005 18:03 (twenty years ago)

Public Enemy entered to "Here Come The Hotstepper". Mikey Whipwreck was the indie pick, as his theme tunes were "Loser" by Beck and "Pepper" by the Butthole Surfers, except I'm sure he had a third theme tune when he was doing the insane/Satanist gimmick at ECW's end.
