Which wrestling themes don't get the love they truly deserve?

Wrestling fans don't agree on much - if Shawn Michaels knew about The Montreal Screwjob ahead of time, if there were actually two Ultimate Warriors, if Baron Corbin is the greatest wrestler of all time or just his generation - but one thing we do tend to agree on is that wrestling music is great.

When it comes to working out who is best, the same names come up time and again - Stone Cold, The Rock, Triple H, Vince McMahon- we've heard it all before.

But what about the wrestling themes that fly under the radar? The hidden gems from WWE's rich musical history that don't get the love and attention they so desperately deserve?

Some were only used for short periods of time, some of them got replaced by more well-known themes, and some just went to wrestlers that have sadly faded from the public eye, but all of these picks deserve to be way more beloved by fans...

10. Burn In My Light - Randy Orton

Before he was hearing Voices in his head, a young and very chiselled Randy Orton invited us all to Burn in his Light. Whatever that meant.

After his departure from Evolution (who also had a great theme), Randy started using the song as performed by Orlando band, Mercy Drive. This group also contributed music to the first season of WWE Tough Enough, as well as the theme of its eventual winner, Maven.

Orton would use this theme music for about four years, before returning to WWE following a collar bone injury with new music in 2008. This song - "Voices" by Rev Theory - has been Orton's music ever since.

Whilst "Voices" is a fantastic song and great entrance music for Randy, there's something about "Burn In My Light" that his new music just doesn't have.

It's punchier, it's louder, it's more aggressive. The song is instantly recognisable and its memorable "Hey!" hook is a great earworm.

We'll likely never see Randy go back to this theme ever again, but it will live on in the hearts and minds of Ruthless Aggression era fans forever.
