[edit] Moving List

The list shouldnt be in this article. It takes up WAAAAYYYY too much space. 99.224.132.115 (talk) 15:44, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Other Companies?

Is there a specific reason why an article on professional wrestling lists only themes for ECW, WCW, WWE and TNA? There are other promotions worthy of note (ROH for example), as well as a number of bigger promotions in Japan, Mexico and other countries. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, so I'd love to know why information of an encyclopedic nature is not included. Cmdalgleish 11:16, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

- If you know of any, go ahead and add them. The majority of what's been added has been based on personal knowledge, likely be people who haven't had a lot of exposure to ROH and the likes. Nuttyskadork (talk) 20:30, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] In-House Themes?

I've just looked at the recent updates in the last few days and I've been wondering about the extent of including in-house themes on the list. I've tried to remove any ones that said "No Particular Artist" along with ones by Jim Johnston and Dale Oliver (composers for WWE and TNA respectively). But then again, I've also included a few themes that were WWE produced (and so are technically in-house) but gave credits to some of the vocalists involved in the song (e.g. Rob Conway's latest theme is sung by a guy called Phillip Namanworth). I don't think these guys are commercial artists but I decided to include them anyway. I just want to know what's your opinion on this. Should we include them or leave them out? -- Oakster 21:23, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Leave them out. It's of little or no use to include non-notable artists here. --Jtalledo (talk) 04:40, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

I was just wondering, who was it that wrote and performed the theme songs for the Ultimate Warrior and Bret "The Hitman" Hart when they wrestled in the WWE from the late 80s to mid-90s? They were both high-energy, instrumental rock tracks. The Warrior would run to the ring at top speed while his theme music played. It says on this page that most wrestlers' theme music is produced in-house and is considered stock-music, so you might think this information is inconsequential, but I really enjoyed listening to these two tracks and I'd like to know who was responsible for creating them.

That would be Jimmy Hart on both counts. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.242.41.219 (talk) 08:25, August 22, 2007 (UTC)

By volume alone, themes by composers like Jim Johnston should be included, as he alone has produced over 500 plus for the wwe, including some popular hits, making himself a notable artist. --(talk) Backinblack spider 17:23, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I second this Nuttyskadork (talk) 20:30, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Andre The Giant

Have only found one instance of this and would like to see if anyone has the song performer/title or otherwise knows the song.

I don't think Andre had a theme song. 76.110.82.251 02:23, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Randy Orton?

When has he used the killswitch engage theme song. Thats CM punks theme not Ortons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WWEFAN101 (talk • contribs)

As stated on the WWE Wreckless Intent page, Orton used "This Fire Burns" once, on the March 3 episode of Smackdown. --HBK|Talk 20:40, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Anyone know a particular reason he only used it the once? *Sam*

They've never said, far as I know, but if I had to guess it would be that Orton fans really like his standard entrance music and reacted very negatively to the change, even though This Fire Burns is a solid piece of entrance music. That's all good news for C.M. Punk, I guess, since he picked the song up for his own entrances on ECW. Dugwiki 15:23, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

The original packaging for WWE Wreckless Intent still lists it as Orton's theme. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nuttyskadork (talk • contribs) 20:32, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Orton's Theme is Bold textBurn in My Light by Mercy Drive

He also used it at house shows. Cmdalgleish 10:23, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nitro Music?

Maybe someone could ad the names of the WCW Shows (Nitro, PPVs, Thunder) music to the list?

I'm unsure - but I think they were in-house compostions *Sam*

The song is called "Burn in my Light" by Mercy Drive

The theme to Nitro was Adrenaline V1.0 by Purity (As stated on WCW Mayhem: The Music). I think it's a production job. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmdalgleish (talk • contribs) 12:21, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What is the "Adrenaline Rush" song for TNA Impact?

Ok, this one is driving me crazy! I've tried searching for the actual song name and artist for the "Adrenaline Rush" theme song used in the end credits of TNA Impact, but I can't find any information at all on it. Note that the same song was also used a week or two ago by WWE on Smackdown for a video package for the tag champs Paul London and Brian Kendrick. So since both WWE and TNA use this song, it apparently is not an in-house production for either company but is instead an independent song licensed for both companies.

Anybody have any information on it? It would be a good song to add to this article, not to mention that I want to see about finding it for my own IPod. :) Thanks. Dugwiki 16:11, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I already know that, despite the similar name, it is not the "Adrenaline" song by Gavin Rossdale used for Unforgiven 2002. I have the Rossdale song on my IPod and TNA's "Adrenaline Rush" is a totally different song. Dugwiki 16:13, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

It's an independent licensed piece of work, like The Hardy Boyz'/Jeff Hardy music (but not the same, just mentioning a similar case). The same track was used in several vignettes in WWE DVDs and replaced "My Way" as the Wrestlemania X-7 theme song in the Wrestlemania Anthology series. --Raderick 12:42, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

It's called "Adrenaline Rush" (Bonus Track/performed by Marc Williams and Nick Hodges) available on the "3rd Degree Burns: The Music of TNA Wrestling Vol. I" CD. Backinblack_spider July 5 2007

[edit] Bold Current Theme

Does anyone think maybe we should bold the current theme of all the active superstars? KE

Yeah, i do Sha0000

[edit] AfD Survival

What shall be done with this article? I think the information from the lists should be moved to the appropriate articles, and when that is finished, remove the lists. --Gray Porpoise_{Your wish is my command!} 00:43, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Why not create a List of professional wrestling themes article?--Geoff K. 19:27, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Can't add anything else?

I tried to add CM Punk and Edge's current themes but someone just keeps removing them. Edge's current theme is Metalingus by Alter Bridge and CM Punk's current theme is This Fire Burns by Killswitch Engage —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BBoy (talk • contribs) 18:19, 3 February 2007 (UTC).

Please see WP:V, WP:RS and WP:CITE. Any unsourced additions will be removed. Thanks. One Night In Hackney 03:29, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

How are you supposed to source it? They use them on TV, what more would you need? I would think a page for wrestling theme songs would have wrestling fans on it. BBoy 03:20, 5 February 2007 (UTC)BBoyBBoy 03:20, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I refer you to my previous message, thanks. One Night In Hackney 03:30, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I refer you to the rules about vandalism for being a dumbass. If you don't know anything about wrestling, why the hell are you editing this page. The only sources provided are a fucking fan site anyways. Do you want me to go make one just to prove the point? Don't be an idiot. Nuttyskadork

Are you talking to me or him? I'm a huge wrestling fan, which is why I don't understand why they didn't let me edit it when obviously the people watching over this page aren't wrestling fans. BBoy 19:24, 18 February 2007 (UTC)BBoy

@One Night In Hackney
Why the hell was Edges song changed back to his theme he hasn't had for around 3 years. His current theme is Metalingus by Alter Bridge. If you want a damn source, why don't you watch a WWE tv show then you might actually hear it. Please stop changing things back claiming they aren't sourced, go watch wrestling for once in your life. Heck, why don't you go to Adam Copeland's (edge's) page and change it there to like you are here. Same goes for the change i made to Christian for his current theme song in TNA which is an instrumental of "My Last Breath" by Evanescense. Why don't you let those who know what they are on about change it and let those who know about it change it back. Thankyou.

Sorry but I'm not interested in what you "know", as we don't write content from memory. Please see WP:V, WP:CITE and WP:RS. Thanks. One Night In Hackney 18:16, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Excuse me, but i am not the only one who 'knows' what edge's theme song is. It's played just about every week on a monday night on USA network in america, Fox8 in Australia on Wednesdays, and some other channels elsewhere at other times. Do i need sources to tell you what i just said there too?Afro dud 18:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

I refer you to my previous message. Thanks. One Night In Hackney 18:31, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't care what your previous message(s) were. Your saying that those of us who WATCH wrestling week in week out and HEAR the music of each wrestler are incorrect. Seriously, go get a damn life. Myself, and others, are here trying to update a page with legitimate information, only for some guy who probably has never watched wrestling in his life to come along and delete it because it's 'unsourced'. Heck, look at the whole page here. There is one source at the bottom of the page. Why is everything else on this page then huh. Surprised you haven't deleted that yet. Why don't you do what i said before, go to edge's page and delete the reference to alter bridge there. Go to some other wrestlers page and delete what it says there theme music is there, because it's unsourced here. Damn your an idiot.Afro dud 18:36, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

If you had read my previous messages you would have understood that we don't write content based on what we watch or hear, we write content from sources. So as before, please see WP:V, WP:CITE, WP:RS, and also WP:NPA and WP:CIVIL for good measure. Sadly I don't have the time to patrol the pages of hundreds of wrestlers to remove unsourced content, but as this page is seemingly a magnet for unsourced additions I will continue to monitor it and act accordingly. One Night In Hackney 18:46, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok, here we go. A the link to a video on youtube from WWE tv where you can hear edges theme music. Is this good enough for you or not? <url>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y1Nn9C2EVc</url> If this isn't enough to get it changed, then there is seriously an issue around here.

No. It's a copyright infringement and can't be linked to, so it's not a reliable source. One Night In Hackney 19:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

What about the wrestlers entrance themes and video's attached to their profiles on wwe.com. Can they be used seeing as it is the official website for most of these wrestlers?Afro dud 19:13, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

I just checked the Edge entrance video, and it doesn't contain the name of the artist or song, so for Edge no sorry. One Night In Hackney 19:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Why don't you go to Alter Bridges site and listen to the song it's been claimed to be (you can, i've just been there myself. They have audio previews of tracks there) and put 2 and 2 together. Or is that too much work for you to listen to it. Here's the link if you don't want to go searching for it. http://www.alterbridgeband.net/musicaudio.html Afro dud 19:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, we don't "put 2 and 2 together", see WP:OR. Thanks. One Night In Hackney 19:34, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

What about all the other unsourced items on the list? Where did these come from? TV. Not everything on Wikipedia is sourced, so stop keeping people from editing the list because they don't have information backing every thing. WP:CITE refers to citing information that can be challenged, but when the song is played every Friday on national TV, there isn't much to challenge. Stop being a moron. Thanks. Slayer425 04:36, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I refer you to WP:A which has now superseded WP:V - The burden of evidence lies with the editor wishing to add or retain the material. Thanks. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 19:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Wow...seems to me like some people have a lot of free time and not much to do. All this aggressive removal of "non-cited information" hardly appears as constructive to me. It does not help the article in any way, it actually makes it less informative, and I fail to see what beneficial effect it might have on Wikipedia as a whole. Not to attack anyone in particular, but adopting such an anal-retentive, obsessive approach looks like the work of a Wiki-Troll, and doesn't accomplish anything else than vain posturing and "show of force". --Voievod 23:09, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I feel the TNA themes from the official TNA website should be re-instated to this page. The only thing is, the TNA themes are instrumentals of other songs, created by TNA's music man Dale Oliver. Dale does have a page here on wikipedia, although it too remains unsourced. Perhaps the names on the TNA website can be used for now until a definite sources of what the instrumentals are based on is found. The link to the TNA page with the theme songs is here. http://www.tnawrestling.com/roster/index.html Afro dud 10:11, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Wow. You people asking for "sources" are fucking idiots. I am serious. There is no other word for this, and it's precisely what you are. There's no real argument for this point of you people being idiots, when you are clearly trying to tell people that WATCH wrestling and know these theme songs inside and out are somehow "incorrect" simply becuase you feel like flaunting your own overwhelming ignorance of the subject in a manner that suggests that you are somehow better than those that know things that you don't care to know. If you're ignorant on the subject, than by all means, please go the fuck away and devote your time to something that you DO know. Let the experts and those KNOWLEDGEABLE about the information write the goddamn wikipeida article. And if you're ignorant of the subject and want "sources" for things that you don't even know, please do us, yourselves, and the article a favor and, please, please, by all means get fucking lost.` The last thing this article needs is ignorant idiots flying in from god knows where, trying to tell other people that KNOW the information how to update an article that they clearly know jack shit about how to properly keep up to date. There's no room for you people here to act like your ignorance makes you better than people that actually know what they hell they are doing. Absoutely none. This is clearly a situation where the "Rules" don't matter. Ignorance makes this whole section look like a joke. If you don't know how to properly update this article, stay the fuck off of it, and go do something else that you know, somewhere else. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.242.41.219 (talk) 08:36, August 22, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] cortez44.free.fr/themes/

This website has a list of all the entrance themes used in WWE and the PPV songs. Would this be useful for the article's external links? Don.-.J 20:49, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

It would be a useful reference; the lack of sources is the biggest problem with the article at the present. McPhail 02:49, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Change Page?

I think this page should be changed so that wrestlers name are in sections of which companies they are in. So WWE has its on bit and TNA and so on. Anyone think its a good idea? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mr.K-Fan (talk • contribs) 22:43, 9 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] I Sourced it!!!

Please tell me why my revisions were reverted, despite the fact that they were, in fact, sourced. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.208.245.229 (talk) 17:51, 5 April 2007 (UTC).

Wikipedia is not a reliable source. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 17:54, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not sure how to reference

In relation to the Wrestlemania 23 theme by default being removed, on the Wrestlemania page on WWE.com [1] it has the song by Default below the Saliva song, so i think it should be under Wrestlemania 23, although, i'm not sure how to add the reference to the actual article as the help pages don't seem to make much sense to me. Any help is appreciated.Afro dud 15:54, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Add <ref>http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/</ref> after the song, or if you want to be fancy <ref>[http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/ Wrestlemania 23]</ref>. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 15:57, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Thankyou, much appreciated. Afro dud 16:02, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BWO Theme

This is directed to One Night In Hackney.....Obviously you have no clue when it comes to this theme (Or many others for that matter).I cited the source too,Hell,if you go to the Blue Meanie's page he can even confirm this.The BWO used this theme through almost their entire run.I wont add it again,but,you should get your facts straight,you have no clue what you're talking about when it comes to Wrestling Themes.Chaos MCB 03:44, 8 May 2007 (UTC)Chaos

[edit] updating

this article needs some serious updating69.207.187.92 00:00, 11 June 2007 (UTC) yes It does. for example jeff's/team xtreme's theme is not 2xtreme. its called Loaded by zack tempest.

As far as updating, should we be splitting wrestler themes into Company categories as previously mentioned? There's more than enough diversity now. And, as far as Jeff Hardy's theme, I've only ever found it named "2xtreme" on any music pages I've encountered or referenced. Backinblack spider 16:17, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

http://www.extrememusic.com/ get trax, L, loaded-zack tempest.--Insaneingus 22:58, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

I tried that website... but apparently you have to be a member to access it. Is there no other reference in all the web other than this?Backinblack spider 18:38, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Glen Stride

Hi there. I searched everywhere but I couldn't find anything about it. So I'll ask it here... just who is Glen Stride? It's described in this article as the first wrestler with an entry music... but, does he even exist?--83.190.52.94 21:41, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a reliable source. I guess he is a real person and he probably did not have to do with any big wrstling companies, so he is most likely not to be found anywhere (for some reason). 76.110.82.251 02:22, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

People, you do understand that Wikipedia itself cannot be used as a source for any article here right? Then why is almost every song in the article cited by the respective wrestler's article? If this isn't fixed, I'm going to have to nominate this article for deletion for lack of reliable sources.-- bulletproof ^3:16 06:01, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I have done the work of removing all the wikipedia refs, now somebody needs to find replacements. - DrWarpMind (talk) 00:25, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

I have been adding sources from other reputable sites, mainly the wwe site itself... but I don't even know where to start looking for references to old ECW, WCW, and non-WWE companies. Any ideas? Backinblack spider (talk) 21:04, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Doubts

Look I found this on the article:

Aaron Sortijas:Papi Chulo

This I think is a corruption of the article. Correct me if I am wrong. Also I think that a lot of tracks from the wrestler's theme songs are missing. I'll list them and you can confirm if this are evidently tracks of the wrestlers. The trakcs are: WWF The Music, Vol. 2

Track listing

1. The Wrestlers - "Land of a Thousand Dances" 2. Jimmy Hart - "Eat Your Heart Out, Rick Springfield" 3. "Captain" Lou Albano and George "The Animal" Steele - "Captain Lou's History of Music/Captain Lou" 4. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper - "For Everybody" 5. "Mean" Gene Okerlund - "Tutti Frutti" 6. Hillbilly Jim - "Don't Go Messin' with a Country Boy" 7. Nikolai Volkoff - "Cara Mia"

The album's tracks are bridged with commentary from Vince McMahon, "Mean Gene" Okerlund, and Jesse "The Body" Ventura. • "Captain Lou" is a cover of a song originally recorded by NRBQ; Albano had made an appearance on the original recording. • Albano was credited with playing all of the instruments (kayfabe) on "Captain Lou's History of Music/Captain Lou". However, he is actually heard playing the main leitmotif from Grieg's "Morning" (from Peer Gynt Suite) on the "History of Music" portion of his track. (Albano had played some deliberately amateurish piano on an episode of Tuesday Night Titans a year earlier.) • The "WWF All Stars" band credited with playing on "Hulk Hogan's Theme" are most of the same musicians that have recorded for Jim Steinman (the song's producer and composer) during the Bat out of Hell and Bad for Good sessions. • As a possible nod to Steinam's involvement, Meat Loaf guest starred as a drummer in the "Land of 1,000 Dances" music video.[1] • Hulk Hogan claimed, as part of a 1985 WWF Magazine article on The Wrestling Album, to have played bass guitar on "Hulk Hogan's Theme" (Hogan had played bass in several bands prior to becoming a professional wrestler), but he is not actually credited as doing so in the album's liner notes. • In the same WWF Magazine article, The Iron Sheik is quoted as being genuinely upset with the fact that, because of the Ayatollah Khomeni's ban on music in Iran, no one in the Sheik's country of birth would be able to hear his contribution on "Land of 1,000 Dances". • Disco singer Vicki Sue Robinson is a guest vocalist on "Grab Them Cakes". • "Grab Them Cakes" made Junkyard Dog the only professional wrestler ever to appear on American Bandstand. • Roddy Piper's contribution to the album, "For Everybody", was credited as being produced solely by Derringer (kayfabe), in order to conform to the ongoing angle in the WWF between Piper on one side and anyone directly associated with Cyndi Lauper (including Dave Wolff) on the other. In actuality, Wolff was present for Piper's session. • Similarly, Cyndi Lauper's pseudonymous production credit as "Mona Flambé" may also be a Derringer/Wolff production with a kayfabe credit, although Lauper has produced most of her own albums under her own name. Lauper also appeared under the Mona Flambé guise on The Wrestling Album's cover, in the video for "Land of 1,000 Dances", and at the original Slammy Awards. • "For Everybody"'s original title, as may have been apparent to many older listeners, is "Fuck Everybody"[2]. The title and some of the lyrics had to be changed for Piper's version since the album was being marketed to the WWF's younger audience. • "Mean Gene" Okerlund had previously done an impromptu version of "Tutti Frutti" on Tuesday Night Titans with the show's house band, with Hulk Hogan sitting in on bass guitar. • Jimmy Hart's "Eat Your Heart Out, Rick Springfield" can be heard on the WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2006 videogame as the track serves as his theme music. • Despite being closely associated with Hulk Hogan for over twenty years, Real American was actually intended to be the theme song for the tag team of Mike Rotundo and Barry Windham, the US Express). • The March 2007 issue of WWE Magazine contained a list of "101 Things Every WWE Fan Should Do Before He Dies" and #63 is "Identify every WWE superstar on the cover of The Wrestling Album, WWE's original record release from 1985."

[edit] World's Greatest Tag Team

Does anyone know what theme the World's Greatest Tag Team used?XMarxThaSpot (talk) 19:42, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] History with Stone Cold

Isn’t this the purpose of the whole article? to list these theme songs with reference in the main section of the article? I believe adding these to the history section is not necessary. Thoughts on the subject? Backinblack spider (talk) 17:11, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sources & References

Should unsourced/unreferenced material be removed? It seems that more and more is getting added without reference, and no one is paying attention to the little warning on the editing page. Thoughts anyone? Backinblack spider (talk) 20:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
