The Music and Theme Songs of Wwe
I can remember back to the early good days of wrestling. Back when wrestling really started to explode and take off in its World Wrestling Federation (WWF) days. It was when Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage and Andre the Giant were wrestling. Gimmick wrestlers like Iron Sheik, Million Dollar Man and Nikolai Volkov were there as well. There were diverse characters who stood out and each had a story to tell. And they each came to the ring with powerful and different theme music which made them easily identified and cheered or jeered.Hulk Hogan has perhaps the most famous of wrestling songs with “Real American”. According to info found at Wikipedia, Hogan originally used the Survivor song Eye of the Tiger which was from the Rocky movie’s soundtrack. Hogan of course had made a cameo in the Rocky 3 movie. Hulk later started using the tune we all know, “Real American” as performed by Rick Derringer. The song became synonomous with Hulkamania and fans everywhere continue to cheer to it. Somehow fans can’t help but feel goosebumps when that tune comes on, whether they are at an arena or watching a WWE event at home.
