What ISN'T a wrestling entrance theme but SHOULD be??

I've heard this in a game before and it's popped up on my shuffle a few times - the opening rift is very, very cool. 
 

Ok, hear me out - Imagine the crowd talking along with the first part of this, screaming out the catchhprase, then jiving to the old school style of music afterwards. The sort of format reserved for a comedy character perhaps. I don't know why but I just think this would make for a ridiculous entrance. 

See also - anything by Scooter. Literally anything they've ever made.

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.

Interesting. I’ve always assumed Glass Shatters was fairly obviously inspired by the last minute or so of Killing In The Name, to the point I didn’t include that song in my OP. The Havana Pitbulls did use Bulls On Parade in ROH and other indies, which fits nicely as JR did once describe Stone Cold as “like a pit bull dog” in one of his mid 90s matches, I think one of the ones with Bret.

There’s always Bombtrack. That would work.

Thanks again for all the replies, guys.

Nirvana are another band that I think had a sound where many of their songs could have been entrances - Breed, Aneurysm and Scentless Apprentice off the top of my head to add to Heart Shaped Box from my OP - obviously not including SLTS and Come As You Are which were shamelessly ripped off for the themes of DDP and Raven.

Speaking of Raven, I always found it odd that his DDT was called the Evenflow yet they gave the rip off of Evenflow by Pearl Jam to Jericho, and that they did him a Nirvana knock off instead of an Offspring one.

So, I have been typing for hours about which songs were used by "x" wrestlers and in which promotions but I accidentally cleaned up the editor. 😢

I guess I'll have to start from zero again. To answer your question @air_raid, "Gay Bar" was used by Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli once in AAW in 2005.

Kurt Angle would have done well to walk out to this classic.

 

One of Hans Zimmers’ finest contributions.

Always thought these would work well

Helicopter would also have worked.
 

Shocked The Strokes never have been used really, probably a few good ones that would fit the bill but opted for this 

 

and a great one for the women’s division

I never liked these threads as people might say "this should be good for an entrance theme" and then I came out like a partypooper saying "I know someone that used/uses it" haha.

(Another long post incoming)

@Chili

Not Kofi Kingston but there was a wrestler called "The Buffalo Soldier" (aka Cameron Theodore) who used it at X Wrestling Alliance's "2018.06.16 - XWA 53: WrestleFriends Equal Fights! 2: Every Loser Wins".

@Lorne Malvo

I have no records of anyone using The Succession theme.

@SuperBacon

I have no records of anyone using that MSP song.

@SaitoRyo

Cheech Hernandez used "Murder Incorporated" in IWA Mid-South back in 2017. That's the only record I have of this song.

@Sphinx

I have no records of anyone using that Walter Murphy song.

@The Gaffer

I have no records of any of these three songs.

@Tim Healys Chutney Spoon

"Welcome for the Jungle" is one of the most overused songs in pro wrestling. Personally, I'm sick and tired of hearing it. It seems it's the law to use the song.

It was used by Alister Fear (IWA Mid-South); B.J. Whitmer (IWA Mid-South); Jeremiah (IWA Mid-South, REVOLVER); Lexie Fyfe (IWA Mid-South); Shane Storm (IWA Mid-South, CZW, Wrestling Is Fun!, NWA No Limits); Vladimir Koloff (IWA Mid-South); Eric Tuttle (CZW); The Ram (CZW); The Metal Master (ROH); George South (GCW); Microman (GCW); Rick Bassman (GCW); The Beast Squad (KTB & Steve Mack) (GCW); Cincinnati's Most Wanted (Aaron Williams, Lexus Montez & Lord Crewe) (GCW); Big Van Walter (CHIKARA); (as already pointed out) Bam Bam Bigelow (ECW, JAPW, ICW No Holds Barred, 3PW); The Black Gorilla Army (Flash Wheeler, Ghetto Blaster & O-Dogg) (JAPW); El Hijo del Fantasma (AAA; AAW, WrestleCircus); Winnie The Pooh (Hoodslam); Quiet Storm (ICW No Holds Barred); Slash (JCW (Michigan)); Tritón (REVOLVER); Jay Bly (IWA East Coast - used a karaoke version); Portia Perez (IWA East Coast - used Richard Cheese cover); Viper (IWA East Coast); Zach Gowen (IWA East Coast); Cliff Compton (IWA Deep South, VOW); Jorge Castano (FWA (UK)); Rey Leon (PCW ULTRA, WrestleCircus); Aaron Williams (Unsanctioned Pro); Lord Crewe (Unsanctioned Pro); The Impeccables (Keita Murray & The Notorious KIT) (TRUE Wrestling); Jody Fleisch (IPW:UK); Jon Ian (PWG); Damien Stone (aka Little Guido) (ECW); Graham Mccormack (Ireland's HKPW); Kappa Jungle (Daikaiju Pro - edited version with Tarzan Call sound effect in the beginning); Austin Idol (Pennsylvania's TWA); Bully Ray (Ric Flair's Last Match); Greg Regalado (Cal-International Wrestling); Jim Steel (ECW); Jerry Lawler & Jim Ross (WWE) and as mentioned by @Just Some Guy, The Steiner Brothers.

As for "Warriors of Time", I have never come across this one.

@Snitsky's back acne

As it was mentioned by @Bohan, it was Eddie Dennis' theme but also F.S.U.'s theme (Dennis' team with Mark Andrews). It was also used by Dan Lawrence (AAW and ROH); Jolly Roger (CHIKARA - used music video version); Matt Knicks (Freelance); Derek Direction (VOW); Charlie Sterling (RevPro); Brandon St. James (880 Wrestling); Soner Dursun (FutureShock Wrestling); Greg Burridge (XWA); Tommy Boyce (1PW).

As @air_raid pointed out, "I Touch Myself" was used by Jack Sexsmith. It was also used by M.V. Young (GCW, Uncanny Attractions, New York's Battle Club Pro, Pro Wrestling VIBE, Enjoy Wrestling, Unsanctioned Pro, New York's Industrial World Wrestling - he previously used the Genitorturers cover); Becky Bayless (PWS, WSU); Kevin Matthews (WSU, ICW No Holds Barred); Tommy Suede (JAPW - he previously used the Genitorturers cover); Jeff Jameson (IWA Deep South); Matt Brannigan (BLP, Circle 6)

@Loki

Unfortunately, I never come across a Supergrass song when watching wrestling.

@Keith Houchen

I have records of that song, all of them being the Leonard Bernstein & The New York Philharmonic Orchestra version. It was used by Jeff King (IWA Mid-South, GCW, ICW No Holds Barred, Circle 6); Ox Haney (IWA Mid-South); Arthur McArthur (BLP).

The funny story about King is that for years he always came out with no music to fit his old timer persona but apparently this changed (no idea when though).

I also *think* The Original Sheik used this song when he toured Japan in the early 90s although no clue which version he used.

@Statto

I have no records of neither track.

@Lenin

I have no records of that specific Shinedown song.

@Sergio Mendacious

Sadly, I have no records of this Man 2 Man song.

@Vamp

I have records of some Madonna songs but not the one you mentioned.

@Jazzy G

"Army of Me" was used by Vipress (GCW, RISE, IWA Mid-South, Texas' MPW); Sage (5CC).

"One Man Army" was used by Gary Hayward in FWA (UK). I'm pretty sure a former NOAH wrestler used it in the 2000s but I can't put my finger on who.

@NeverYield

As pointed out by @JNLister, it was used by Mysterio in ECW. However, it's also worth to point that before Mysterio, it was used by The Public Enemy in their debut match and after Mysterio, it became the essential enhancement talent theme for ECW untelevised shows. So, you don't have a song, don't worry, they'd give you "Sad but True".

Going through my personal records, it was used by The Bull (wXw); Billy Black (IWA Mid-South, the first of two Billy Blacks that competed for the promotion); Dustan Moseley (IWA Mid-South); J-Rocc (IWA Mid-South); (John) Kronus (CZW); Mad Dog (ICW No Holds Barred).

@Just Some Guy

Unfortunately, I have no records of The Exploited.

@LaGoosh

Only record I have of this song being used was by K-Dos in IWA Mid-South.

@Arch Stanton

As pointed out by @air_raid, "Bulls on Parade" was used by The Havana Pitbulls, mostly Ricky Reyes after the team went on separate ways. In addition, it was also used by Adam Flash (IWA Mid-South, JAPW); The Solution (Havok & Papadon) (ROH, JAPW, GCW, ICW No Holds Barred, WORLD-1), Quiet Storm (CZW, ICW No Holds Barred); Ric Blade (CZW); Mike Hartenbower (Freelance Wrestling); Chase Holliday & Shawn Kemp (used the Denzel Curry version in Indiana's Naptown All Pro); Jeremy Wyatt (IWTV's "2019.05.26 - The Midwest Mixtape"); Terrell Kenneth (Unsanctioned Pro); NIWA (PROGRESS); J.C. Bailey (IWA East Coast); Hack Meyers (3PW); Elia Markopoulos (WHAT); Sean Carr (TRUE Wrestling); Caolán McCarthy & Matt Davies (Blank Canvas Wrestling).

@RedRooster

"Shake It Off" was Trevor Lee (aka WWE's Cameron Grimes)'s indie theme. He used it in places like CZW, AAW, REVOLVER, ICW No Holds Barred, Fight Club: Pro and RevPro. It was also used by Rated X (Jeremy Snaker & John The Psycho) (IWA Deep South); If Looks Could Kill (Brian Nelson & Greg Glover) (Freelance Wrestling); Sugar Dunkerton (Riptide - also in OTT once when he teamed with Session Moth Martina).

@simonworden

I have no records of any Soilwork track.

@IronSheik

No records of that song sadly.

@Fatty Facesitter

I have no records of any of these songs.

@Scratch

No records of this song in my website.

@air_raid

"Bombtrack" was used by Mikey Whipwreck (ECW); Jimmy Yang (MLW) and GNC (Alex Colon & Joe Gacy) (CZW).

@Chest Rockwell

No records of any Sean Price song in my site.

@Hannibal Scorch

I have record of a Bloc Party song ("Helicopter") but not the one you linked. No Strokes' song recorded in my site.
"Deceptacon" was used by Ziggy Haim (GCW, Enjoy Wrestling and Uncanny Attractions) and Ivy Quinn (Bar Wrestling).

-----

I hope to have filled in as much as I could and hope not to have forgotten about one song or more.

Thanks @Hernan… embarrassingly I’ve been in attendance when at least one of those played for that wrestler, though it was a good 15 years after “Yeah, Tim would use that” at college. On a unrelated note I’m guessing Surfin USA has definitely been used by Sunny Beach somewhere?

Also, Jerry Lynn is now my nemesis.
