Smashing Records made by Wrestling Superstars
Wellknown tunes not made by the Wrestler, name-that-tune-thing
Introductory chat
Many of us can make an easy connection between wrestling and
music. This could be the background music introducing almost every
fan-favorite or bad guy/gal or even music "made" by the wrestler himself -
we can even think of the "music" by The Greatest Intercontinental
Champion of All Times, played normally on the head of an opponent by
guitar, but, even more we think about songs like "Land of a Thousand
Dances", WWF 1985.
Not only at the WWF wrestlers (or other people,
like managers or managing artists) showed up, that got somehow a link
with (rock) music, but also elsewhere. If you want to be reminded of
those people or want a checkbox at which you can add the people
I've forgotten, try the Rock 'n Wrestling
Connection.
This is just a try and the page is under construction, but I hope to
create a page in which everyone will contribute by telling
which tune was used by whom and when. The fact that
I'm giving it a try here does mean that I could be totally wrong or
ignorant about certain tunes, SO I NEED YOUR HELP, PLEASE FILL IN THE
GAPS!!!
