6. "Shoot To Thrill" By AC/DC (WrestleMania XXV)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzStCrY7RLY In a 2014 interview, former WWE commentator Matt Striker revealed that Vince McMahon's favorite band ever is AC/DC. It should not have been a revelation given how the CEO of the company turned to the iconic band to provide the theme song for 1998's SummerSlam ("Highway to Hell") and then again in 2009 for the 25th WrestleMania. The group lent two different songs, the first being "War Machine." That song played over the video package hyping the main event bout between Triple H and Randy Orton. The second? The legendary "Shoot To Thrill." The latter was a much better choice for the show, an blast and energy and attitude that "War Machine" was not. It had an electricity about it that a show of WrestleMania's grandeur deserves. The fact that AC/DC is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee only adds star power to the equation, never a bad thing when hyping a sports entertainment spectacular.
