You could also use any of the ones presented in the other answer if they fit.
Scroll to the bottom if you just want to get to the suggstions first. In between is about legal requirements and what you might be legally required to do depending on what you select.
Music is a little complicated, due to copyright law. In a pro wrestling, theme music may be licensed music, from a production library, in the public domain, made by in-house composers/musicians, or commissioned/gifted from musicians/composers, often from those within the area, who permit use of the music.
Most of the music we hear on the radio (outside of ads) would be licensed music. When you buy a CD, you are allowed to do various things, but part of the agreement formed upon purchase is that there are certain things that cannot be done. To help explain, here is an excerpt from HowStuffWorks about music licensing:
In the case of a "real song", like something you would hear on a top-40 radio play-list, there are several different parties involved with the song:
The label owns the actual sound recording -- the performance of the song as recorded in the label's studio.
The publisher works on behalf of the song's composer (the person who arranged the music) and songwriter (the person who wrote the lyrics). The composer and songwriter probably own the actual copyrights for the song, and the publisher represents them in all business dealings.
If you want to use a song for any reason, you have to somehow obtain rights at least from the publisher, and possibly from the label as well (if you are planning to use a specific performance).
Here are just a few examples of when you need to obtain rights:
You own a radio station and you want to play a song on your station.
You own a restaurant and you want to play songs as background music.
You are making a commercial and you want to use a song in the commercial.
You are making a toy and you want it to play a song when a child pushes a button.
You are making a video production and you want a song as background music.
As you can see, with licensed music, you need to obtain the rights to use that music as a theme. This is in part because it is for a commercial use and in part because the theme is to be broadcast publicly for those in attendance. You would need to pay to obtain public performance rights, either through a blanket license- you can play anything you want, or for a specific song.
How much you pay depends on what category the establishment falls under in a form. That paperwork means that unless you really want a song, it may not be worth it- especially given that if you work for multiple promotions that further complicates matters. I don抰 know exactly how that would work.
The cost varies, but is often not greatly above the cost for production libraries- where you buy the rights to use the music for a relatively small fee. Production libraries specialise in creating music for others to use. The main disadvantage is that you won抰 find big hits and it can be difficult to find good vocals, but there are some excellent compositions out there, including some with vocals.
Another advantage is that with licensed music, if the wrestling show is taped, you have problems. There are additional licenses you need: a master use license and a synchronisation license. Numerous independent promotions are televised locally or broadcast online. The cost becomes quite expensive- the more important and popular a song, the more costly.
Licensed music may not be for you if you work in promotions that do televise their material or, possibly, if you work in heaps of promotions. There likely are, at least, a fair number of people who disobey copyright law and use whatever they want, but I cannot advise you to break the law. My position on AllExperts prohibits it.
Public domain music is free, but what is in the public domain won抰 fit your character. You are unlikely to get a band to create a song just for you or let you use a song for free or a small fee, unless you know them. You don抰 have in-house composers/musicians available to you.
Songs like Drew McIntyre抯 and Randy Orton抯 are more like that of licensed music than production libraries. If you looking at licensed music, then I would recommend looking at Slipknot, Hate My Life by Theory of a Deadman, You抮e Going Down by Sick Puppies, or Chevelle. You might also look at Skillet.
I think Chevelle in particular might be a very good fit, but it depends on your tastes (you need to be comfortable with whatever you use) and how you play the character, which you would know about more than I can.
If you have to use production themes, the best that I抳e found from my look (which considered teh sheer number out there only skims teh surface)would be Burning Fire (Vox) under Vocal Cutz 2, on ExtremeMusic.com. Keyword Vocal Cutz makes it easy to find.
I'll finish that other question of yours when I can.
