TomJones233 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I have a soft spot for this tune. Can't believe its almost 10 years ago in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted January 18, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2021 The original 80s/early 90s WM theme was always brilliant, and very distinctive (I could probably hum/doot-doot it), but this later-era one is my favourite, because I'm a fan of Gabriel, because it's a theme they should have used long before WM23, and also because it shows a bit of flexibility on the part of WWE, not going straight for the latest thing because they've got a deal on to promote it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJones233 Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 Big Time in 2006 was a bold choice. And worked really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted January 18, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2021 Peter Gabriel's "Big Time" is my number 1 all day long. Felt so unique after years of Nu-Metal, though I'll always give Limp Bizkit a pass. I used to love those video packages they'd do at the end of each show too, though I'm not sure what year was the last to have them. Wrestlemania 21 with the wrong Big Time holds a place in my heart.

TomJones233 Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 Kinda off topic but 2012 was a fucking solid year. And that Mania was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members marc2j Posted January 18, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2021 WM24 was the first Mania I went to, so Light It Up by Rev Theory and RHCP's Snow get me thinking of that trip all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSF Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 WM17 was the first mania I watched live, so I have a massive soft spot for the My Way video package irrespective of how much of an obvious choice that is. Goosebumps whenever I hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted January 18, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Only one winner here. Easy Lover by Phil Collins and Philip Bailey. Honourable mention to @TomJones233's shout of WM28 though, great tune. I consider that to be the last WM that had a proper 'big time' main event (notwithstanding the rematch the following year).

Chili Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I'd love to know who made the call on using 'Big Time.' It's such an out there choice and so unlike them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted January 18, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2021 The answer is “Ohhhhh, ohhhhh.... WrestleMania..... fighting to survive (pump it up pump it up).” Close second had no lyrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Big Time & Easy Lover are easily the top 2. This is memorable because it's fucking called Crack Addict!? Greebos might like to know that Brian Welch is on guitar here, on the live version at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted January 18, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2021 Love this bad boy. Really every big event should have the cheesiest music in my opinion. For some reason it always makes the event feel bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
