WWE: 20 Best Entrance Themes By Popular Artists

6. "The Game" (Triple H) - Motörhead

Since the start of his time in WWE in 1995, Triple H has had incredible luck in just about everything including theme music and since 2001, Motörhead has seemingly been the official band of Triple H, making them essentially the icing on the cake. "The Game" was the first song of that relationship and still the best of the three songs Motörhead has penned for Triple H and the WWE. The theme helped Triple H break away from his DX period and begin his climb to the top of the WWE ladder. The song has enjoyed great mainstream success as well, as it has been used by several American sports teams including the NHL's Boston Bruins. The song is also one of the most identifiable in all wrestling as even non-fans are able to identify the song and the wrestler the song accompanies. A great start to what would prove to be a great relationship between WWE and Motörhead.

5. "Real American" (Hulk Hogan) - Rick Derringer

This was the song that proved a relationship between the music industry and the pro wrestling industry could and would work. Though he was nine years removed from his most successful hit, "Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo," Derringer was a driving force in the Rock 'n' Wrestling Era, crafting the theme that would eventually be used for the most recognisable figure in the history of professional wrestling, Hulk Hogan. Though the theme was written for the tag team of Barry Windham and Mike Rotunda, the U.S. Express, the song identified everything Hogan was in the 1980s to a tee. Though the popularity of Hogan was a phenomenon in its own right, Derringer helped add legitimacy to WWE as a whole. Very rarely before this theme had any well known performers lent their services to any promotion. Real American, with absolutely no hyperbole, changed the wrestling industry. Three decades later, it is still the most recognisable song in wrestling history. On the original release on The Wrestling Album, Jesse Ventura states disbelief that the song was written for Windham and Rotunda. In the end it wasn't €“ it was written for wrestling.
