Guest Deebo Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 I just realized that there is no "Official Wrestlemania Theme Song" yet, not that I want some shitty band's theme as the song of the event, but I just thought it was odd. We've all heard the Guns N Roses stuff but the day that happens will be the day I see pigs flying outside my window. So what's it going to be? Maybe they're going retro and using the old Wrestlemania theme (that Linda McMahon now uses as her song whenever she's on TV)?
Guest Coffey Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 Seether ~ "Sympathetic" would be :krad:
MarvinisaLunatic Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 Linda McMahons entrance music would be a nice touch but I bet they'll go with something else.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 If they haven't already (In Australia, we don't get to see Raw or SmackDown! until Friday and Saturday nights, respectively), they won't start playing it until showing the official match screens.
Brett Favre Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 They should use a Rage Against the Machine song. Yeah they are rock, but still, they're better than any crap the WWE has put out the past couple of years. I'd go with a rap song too, but I can't think of one that would fit that well right now.
Guest Coffey Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 Since it's supposed to be a new beginning so to speak, that would mean that the old WWE is dying. So, something like Everlast ~ "Ends" might fit well. Â Good song.
Nighthawk Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 They should use a Rage Against the Machine song. Yeah they are rock, but still, they're better than any crap the WWE has put out the past couple of years. If they did, it should be their "Renegades of Funk" cover. ECW used it and it worked pretty good there.
A Happy Medium Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 Refused - The Deadly Rhythm  Good track...
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 A lot of Pay-Per-View theme songs come to my head, but the main two would have to be 'Fight' from SummerSlam 2002, and 'Build a Bridge', by Limp Bizkit, from Survivor Series '03. Â There are so many great songs that would fit with the theme of WrestleMania so well.
Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Bring back Mo and Mabel for the WM Rap...

ECW used it and it worked pretty good there. That'd be cool. If not that, I'd like for them to use Guerilla Radio, Killing In the Name, or Wake Up. But, They'll probably just go with Limp Bizkit, featuring the Axl Rose or some shit like that.
Dimensions Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Reading show reports from different websites, it seems as if they have been using "Times Like These" by Foo Fighters for Wrestlemania video packages that air to the audience in attendance. Maybe that's it but have yet to introduce the theme, or video package to TV yet.
muzz Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 LINKIN PARK ALL THE WAY BAYBEE Â Ugh, I need to have a shower.
Brett Favre Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Ugh. I mean that song is alright, and the Foo Fighters are alright but, eh, can the song atleast sound badass? This is too wussy. If that makes sense.
Dimensions Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 They should have something by Trapt, Fuel or Finger Eleven. Â Perhaps even "When All Is Said And Done" by Trapt.
Guest Choken One Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Nah...shitty music belongs on the BRAND ppvs...not WMXX.
Ed Wood Caulfield Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 It's either the two old school WrestleMania theme songs, or some classical piece of music (to fit with the prestigous of WrestleMania XX). Some classical song could fit WrestleMania XX, just like it's done so in the past, example: Hogan vs. Sting, WCW Starrcade 1997. Â I cannot accept anything else...although they can use "Fight" again.
Slickster Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Remember, PPV themes are either: Â -in-house production music (Armageddon, SSlam 02, NM02, JDay 03, NWO 04) Â -exclusive tracks ('Crack Addict' for WMXIX) Â -current or future singles from an up-and coming artist (every single other theme since InVasion)
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 I remember the WM VII theme quite fondly. It's better than the one that Linda McMahon uses too. I'm not sure whatever WM's used it. Â Lindas theme is basically the WM Track from the WWF Album in 1993, so I don't think it was a theme except for IX or X.

Guest Frank_Nabbit Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Bust out the old CHV music that featured the History of Wrestling.... stick new stars with the old footage  *Marks Out*
Ed Wood Caulfield Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Here's the list of theme songs for WrestleMania: Â WrestleMania: "Easy Rider" by ???? Â WrestleMania 2-WrestleMania V: Different Jim Johnston Produced Saxophone-covered tracks. A different one for each year. Â WrestleMania VI-WrestleMania VIII: The first real WrestleMania theme song. The classic trumpet and guitar one that was played during the commercials and during the actual show itself. Â WrestleMania IX: Didn't have an actual theme song. The WrestleMania V-VIII theme song played during the highlight video, but it wasn't played during the show itself or the commercials hyping up the show. The show played Roman times music and some generic stock music. Â WrestleMania X-XIV: The Linda McMahon theme song was used for these shows. It's the instrumental version of the "WrestleMania" rap song that was just a bunch of soundbytes from WWF wrestlers with the chorus "Whoa/Oh oh/Whoa/Oh oh/WrestleMania!/They fight to survive/Pump it up!/Pump it up!/Whoa/Oh oh/Whoa/Oh oh/WrestleMania!/They fight to survive/Just like that!/Just like that! The song appeared on WrestleMania: The Album that was released in 1993. Probalby the most famous WWF produced theme song of them all. They briefly used this song when hyping WrestleMania X-Seven back in 2001, before using "My Way". Â WrestleMania XV: Don't know the name. It was either a Jim Johnston produced track or some generic stock music. It was only heard during the show to my knowledge, as they used classical music for the commercial and the hyping of the show. Â WrestleMania 2000: "California". It's from the WWE Anthology CD, but it's a different version of the song. The song used at WrestleMania 2000 was faster, and it didn't have a rapper on it. It was just the beat and the ladies singing "California" again and again. Â WrestleMania X-Seven: "My Way" by Limp Bizkit. One of my all-time favorite theme songs for a wrestling show. It just fit with the show, and the main event, so well. At first, I hated this song, but by the 2,000th time I heard it, it grew on me, and now it's one of my favorites. Now everytime I heard this song, I think of WrestleMania X-Seven and Rock vs. Austin from that show, and the video package that came with it. Good times, good times. Â WrestleMania X-8: "Superstar" by Saliva and "Tear Away" by Drowning Pool. For some reason, they decided to use two theme songs for WrestleMania that year. Â WrestleMania XIX: "Crack Addict" by Limp Bizkit. "My Way" this song ain't.
Lil' Bitch Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 They usually announce the PPV theme 2 weeks before the event so the WM 20 theme should be revealed on the 1st.
The Czech Republic Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 They should use both the trumpet-guitar theme and the classic Wrestlemania one
Guest Deviant Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 As long as it's not some desperate-to-be-popular band with a fake attitude like Limp Bizkit last year, I don't care. There are very few ways they can't improve on last year with two performances from Durst on the same show... Â I don't like the Foo Fighters at all, but "Times Like These" would be acceptable since they are using that on some small-time ads. It's fitting in a way, and could be used to create some awesome emotional packages detailing the show itself and Mania's history. It would work.
JHawk Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 WrestleMania: "Easy Rider" by ???? Â The WrestleMania I theme song was basically the musical intro to Phil Collins' "Easy Lover". Vince had a thing for soft rock in the mid-80s for some reason.
The Amazing Rando Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 I want "O Fortuna" by Carl Orff ... that'd make me mark out severely.
