Love this topic. I said in an unrelated thread a few years ago that I'd always thought 'Crying Out' by Shinedown would make a great entrance theme.

First came across it when I found a training video of Jay Cutler's ahead of one of the mid-2000s Mr Olympias and this was the soundtrack. Always had it on my gym playlist after that.

The feedback at the start, the quiet guitar before it kicks in... tremendous.

Christ, Passion and Warfare!  One of those albums I wore my tape of out, back when I was a young teenager.  Haven't even thought about it in 25 years.  I bet he and Joe Satriani are still touring the midwest somewhere.

I've always thought 'Party Hard' by Andrew WK is a great All-Star Wrestling, full-on babyface 'get the crowd going' kind of track. 

Also, during my tenure training at FWA North East (RIP) in 2005 we were coming up with gimmicks and I thought of a 'fat stripper who thinks he's the sexiest man alive' gimmick. His entrance music would have been 'I Touch Myself' by the Divinyls. 

Male Stripper, by Man 2 Man would be good for this gimmick.

Jack Sexsmith definitely used that in P******s.

Surprised noone has used this - Guns and Roses Welcome to the Jungle. Could imagine someone like Ultimate Warrior coming out to it.

The Steiners used it in NWA/WCW at some point.

Also in ECW. Later, Bam Bam Bigelow used it too.

Thanks to all replies thus far, really appreciated and some awesome choices.

@Jazzy G… still Bjork for you?

Yeah. Army Of Me just feels like it works. The sound at the beginning, the beat, there are a few metal covers that aren't too bad as well that could work. 

One Man Army by Prodigy & Tom Morello from the Spawn soundtrack as well.

When Steve Austin spoke with Jim Johnston about what he wanted for the theme music of his Stone Cold character, he told him that he wanted something that sounded like this...

It's really interesting listening to it in that context, knowing what Jim then came up with. Definite similarities to be heard! This would make a great entrance theme in its own right.

The irony being that Steve did once *looks at camera* quit it now *winks*
