The 5's series knows no boundaries and jumps to The Jukebox! This time I'm looking for your favourite pieces of Wrestlemania inspired tunage! I'm talking everything from official themes like Limp Bizkit's "My Way", to video package music like Placebo's "Running Up That Hill" cover, to memorable entrance themes like Motorhead's "The Game" & Johnny Cash's "Ain't No Grave". So muck in and get down with your bad selves.
5. Tie: Shinedown "I Dare You" & Bullets & Octane "Save Me Sorrow"
I list these two as a tie because on their own, they are fairly unremarkable. However, combine the two for a video package and you've got an awesome one-two punch that just screams "this is Wrestlemania". The history, the pageantry, and the in your face action.

4. Tinie Tempah "Written In The Stars"
Last years theme was a change of pace for WWE, as they opted for British rap star Tinie Tempah instead of the usual suspects. I like this song a lot, and was thrilled to see it become the official theme for the biggest event of the year.

3. Placebo "Running Up That Hill"
A bit of a hidden gem for many years, this cult favourite soon became exposed to a wider audience as it highlighted Shawn Michael's fight to get a rematch with The Undertaker at Wrestlemania. Easily one of WWE's best video packages.

2. Saliva "Ladies & Gentlemen"
Few do adrenaline fueled rock & roll stadium themes as well as Saliva, and this is their finest hour, providing the backdrop for Wrestlemania 23. If this doesn't pump you up, you're beyond help.

1. Limp Bizkit "My Way"
The perfect combination of video and song for a wrestling event. Rock vs. Austin, the biggest match of the attitude era, with this nu metal hit matching every hit, every beat.
