Well here it is. One whole year of doing top 30 lists every month after I turned 30. As I write this, I have just turned 31 years old but I still plan on doing lists every once in a while when the time calls for it or when I'm bored and need something to fill the time with.
So for the last one, I thought I might as well continue with the music gimmick from the last one but this time have the Wrestling version. Wrestling does have a lot of good music so why not share some of my favourite ones and let me know of your own favourite ones too. You won't some here because there's a lot of popular ones that I honestly don't like at all.
This will probably be my shortest list but it's all good. I just want to spend the last few hours of my birthday doing other things while I have the time. Enjoy and thanks for reading all of my lists so far!
30) Shinsuke Nakamura - NJPW
I still prefer his classic theme to his current WWE one even though that one is pretty good itself!
29) Triple H (The Game) - WWE
I did mention it in my previous list so I had to include it at least. I'm no Triple H fan but he always did get the really good themes.
28) Will Ospreay - NJPW
I dare you to listen to the music and not sing along to the lyrics. It's just too good. Hopefully Will keeps this even with his new change in character.
27) Owen Hart - WWF
I always liked this one over his others. Owen Hart was just too good, shame we never got to see him at his best.
26) Jeff Hardy - TNA
The only time I've seen Jeff Hardy as a heel (bad guy) was in TNA back in 2011 and crazily enough, it somehow worked? And he sung this kick-ass theme for himself too! Not his last appearance on this list.
25) Drew McIntyre (Broken Dreams) - WWE
Shame he won't use this theme anymore, I always liked it but it just doesn't suit the current WWE Champion Drew McIntyre in the current time. So I had to share this remix-ed one.
24) Hardy Boyz - WWF
The looked like rock stars, they acted like rock stars, they probably were! And still in the case of Jeff (not so much for Matt, sorry). And this song was always a classic.
23) Ultimate Warrior - WWF
Ultimate Warrior was still around just as I got into wrestling and he may not be one of my favourites but I always did like his theme, it just kicked ass, suited his gimmick to a tee since he was just there to kick some ass.
22) Rob Van Dam - WWE
Like his theme song said, Rob Van Dam was truly one of a kind. One of my favourite theme songs from that era for one of the best from that era. I'm a sucker for a good Frog Splash too.
21) Asuka - NXT
Maybe, just maybe, Asuka is the greatest female wrestler I've ever seen. I've not seen anyone who can come close to her level just yet and she sure has one awesome theme to send her down to the ring as well.
20) Edge - WWE
"On this day, I see clearly, everything has come to light". Edge's theme isn't just good, it might have some of the best lyric to any wrestling song I've heard ever.
19) Goldust - WWF
What a strange dude Goldust was ever since we first laid eyes on the man from Hollywood back in 1995. But one thing always stayed, his theme stayed and it was always amazing.
18) CM Punk (Fire Burns) - WWE
This song actually debuted with Randy Orton for one show but I liked it right away so I was glad to hear it again this time with CM Punk for his first "run" with the company. His next theme was equally good, if not better.
17) Randy Orton (Voices) - WWE
A lot of people might not like this song but I actually dig it. At one point it was in my Top 10. This song just fits a psycho killer like Randall Keith Orton and he's still rocking it and yes, he's still as crazy as always even in 2021.
16) Kenny Omega - NJPW
Kenny Omega's current AEW theme is one of the better ones on this roster and I tried to include it onto this list but I just had to get Devil's Sky on here, it's still my favourite of his themes. Especially the Terminator version from Tokyo Dome back in 2017, how they edited the song to fit the Terminator theme was just brilliant.
15) The Undertaker (Rollin) - WWE
I had to. You know I had to. Keep on rollin! It's not even the best Undertake entry on the list yet it's still pure gold.
14) The Nexus - WWE
I dare say Nexus' theme might be one of my favourites from WWE. Not just as, I like the un-edited version of the song from 12 Stones as well, I've got it on my iPod so you know it's good. It's also got my favourite quote, "The only easy day was yesterday".
13) Batista - WWE
YEEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. This is some good shit from Saliva.
12) Christian Cage - TNA
Christian always had some kick ass tunes, all of his WWE theme songs were always so good so I had a hard time picking which one to put on here but his TNA theme was just an instant classic as he would say it. And yes, I am part of the Peeps (big Christian fan).
11) AJ Styles - WWE
The problem with choosing an AJ Styles song on here is that he has too many damn good ones! His last two songs in TNA were great, his New Japan was awesome (and was the one I was initially going to go with) but his WWE one might just be the best of the lot.
10) Razor Ramon - WWF
Hey Yo! Razor Ramon was one the first guys I became a fan of when I started my wrestling fandom at a young age and I always remembered his theme being so good. It still is.
9) Guerrillas of Destiny - NJPW
Easily my new favourite theme song to come out in the last few years. This just kicks all kinds of ass and it suits Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa to a tee.
8) Minoru Suzuki - NJPW
You hear the calming voice in the song but you know somebody is about to get the shit kicked out of them. Love Suzuki's theme, for someone who is supposed to be the scariest person in all of Japan, his theme just makes you feel at peace. Maybe my favourite theme in all of Japan.
7) Stone Cold Steve Austin (1996-97 version) - WWF
6) Chris Jericho - WWE
The classic Chris Jericho theme is still amazing after all these years, especially this version from 2001 with the ball going around before blasting off. His theme may have had different little variants but they all still sounded amazing.
5) The Undertaker (Dark Side) - WWF
Nothing can beat the classic Undertaker theme but for me this one from 1998 was just that bit better, always preferred this! Much better than the Ministry version.
4) CM Punk (Cult of Personality) - WWE
For a song that was a rock hit back in the 80's, it still suited CM Punk perfectly back in 2011. An amazing song will find a way to still be great even in the crazy world of wrestling.
3) Shawn Michaels - WWF
Be honest, how many of you have not sung the song "Sexy Boy"? You know you can't help it. It's just a pure classic.
2) Chris Jericho - NJPW & AEW
Judas was already a hit with Jericho's own band Fozzy. And then he used it for his "one-off" appearance with New Japan back in 2018. The song just worked and I knew about it from before and I couldn't help but sing to the chorus as Jericho made his way done, that's when I noticed a few others were doing that too. Now onto 2021 and everyone is singing to Judas when he shows up. Easily one of the best wrestling themes to show up recently and my new favourite.
1) Bret Hart - WWF
There will never be a theme song that just hits home to me quite like this. You hear the first riff and you know what's about to go down. Easily my favourite theme song of all time and of course, it's for my favourite wrestler of all time as well in Bret The Hitman Hart. Nothing will ever beat this.
