Some Wrestling Entrance Theme Songs Just Hit Harder

Since the early 1980s, I've been a fan of professional wrestling. Starting with the WWF in the heart of the Hulkamania era, forward to WCW and the nWo, the Attitude Era, and the current era. While some wrestlers, tag teams, and stables were better than others, some just had the most iconic music. As such let's take a look at some wrestling entrance theme songs that just hit harder than others.

Macho Man Randy Savage
Ohhhh Yeah, Dig It! Pomp and circumstance was a perfect theme for Savage throughout his career in both the WWF and later in WCW. Macho was excellence personified, and guys like him and Ricky The Dragon Steamboat really proved there was room for more than just the Hulk Hogan-style wrestler.

CM Punk
Love him or hate him, Cult of Personality is the perfect song for CM Punk. It's an iconic song that brings up so many images. Punk also stirs up powerful emotions in people, both for and against him, with his cult of personality.

Undertaker
I loved the Big Evil phase of the Undertaker's run, and his Dead Man Walking theme doesn't get nearly enough credit. It shed off the supernatural part of 'Taker's character, instead making him a plain and simple badass.

Real American
I know many are going to ask why I didn't reference this being Hogan's Music, well that's because it wasn't his initially. Real American was the theme for the US Express, Mike Rotunda, and Barry Windam's Tag Team. Sure, Hogan made it iconic, but the US Express were the originals to come to the ring to Real American.

nWo Theme
The following announcement, just that part alone was amazing, but the guitar riff, "We are In Control", & "4, 4, 4, 4, 4-Life" voiceovers were iconic. I loved the nWo Theme, and still do to this day.

Ric Flair
The Nature Boy Ric Flair could be called many things. The Goat. The Nature Boy. Space Mountain. But his 2001 A Space Odyssey theme just built from almost nothing to a deafening crescendo, just like Flair's matches often did.

Randy Orton
Much like CM Punk, The Viper's 2nd theme song has fit him better than the original and also sets an immediate tone. This guy isn't all there, and that's what makes him so dangerous.

Demolition
Ax & Smash were the first heels I loved, and these guys were beyond badass. Part of their packaging, in their music and ring gear, just fed into that persona. I loved Demolition and their theme is a huge reason why.
