Number 5

Men’s Division

Shawn Spears – “Perfection”

To be honest, this division was the toughest to rank, and I had to leave some good ones off the list. At number 5, the song that made the cut belongs to Shawn Spears. When Spears debuted in the promotion, the song was a sign of a change to the competitor’s attitude and image. Spears seemed like a new, hungry wrestler.

The song relays confidence and the precision and execution of Wrestle and Flow’s rap on an infectious beat really defines the presentation of perfection. Seems like Spears is a bit far from that now, but the theme song still hits.

10 out of 10? Yes.

Chances of you messing up the lyrics will rapping along? High.

Likelihood of listening to it outside of a wrestling show? Yes, on my workout playlist.

Women’s Division

Kris Statlander – “Galaxy’s Greatest Alien”

This division, though it is deep with wrestlers, doesn’t really have too many great theme songs. For the last spot, it was a bit of a challenge to find a theme that is different enough but still enjoyable to listen to. Statlander’s theme does a good job adding to her aura. It stands out just enough with its bits of manipulated singing added over a song that toggles back and forth between interesting and strange to standard wrestling theme song

Out of this world? Sure.

“What are they saying in the song” factor? High.

Likelihood of listening to it outside of a wrestling show? Not really.

Tag Team Division

The Butcher and the Blade – “Full Death”

This is another division I was surprised at the lack of great theme songs. There are a lot of good ones, but it took time to solidify number 5. The theme song is pretty much the run-of-the-mill angry tag team song, but it works for the team. The looping siren adds just enough uncomfortable stability for the chaotic vibe of the team, while the guitar riff over the repetitive drum fill carries us through. The guitar solos and eventual progressions do keep it the song interesting, instead of other theme songs that repeat for 4 minutes straight (Yikes).

Rocks the hardest of metals? Yes.

Another reason to think of butchers in an evil way? Oh, most definitely.

Likelihood of listening to it outside of a wrestling show? Sure, go air guitar in a Target and scare all the customers.
