12 Best Songs About Professional Wrestling

7. Bruce Springsteen - The Wrestler

Penned specifically for the 2008 Darren Aronofsky film of the same name, The Wrestler is one of the best tracks that The Boss has penned this century.

The song (and film) focuses on the downtrodden one-trick pony Randy 'The Ram' Robinson; his time in the spotlight has come and gone, and he now lives-out his days performing in bingo halls while struggling desperately to kick his vices and rebuild fractured relationships.

'The Ram' is based heavily on Jake 'The Snake”'Roberts, whose own life looked to be headed down a tragic path until Diamond Dallas Page helped him kick his addictions a few years ago.

As ragged, somber, and wrought with emotion as Jake’s life story, this song is beautiful.
