In your opinion
This was the period I was most into wrestling. I've forgotten about a lot of these. Thanks for the memories!
For me, the best one has to be the original Demolition theme tune, I have that as my ringtone....
Definitely Warrior number 1 for me, whenever his music hit as a kid id go bananas lol. Hogan 2nd, his theme is classic. Bossman's was up there too, and Shawn Michaels singles/rockers
The Snake's Miami Vice ripoff theme is my favorite of this particular WWF time period.

The gimmick was basically vince's way of making fun of Terry Taylor by saddling him with something that wasn't going to work no matter what he tried to do. The funny part of it is that despite it being a total failure the fans did remember it and when he returned too wwf in 1992 he went out to do a promo at a house show in NYC and someone shouted "rooster, rooster" at him and the entire crowd joined in which killed his heat and forced him to go backstage in tears.

Good list despite the order of the tunes. Childhood memories of watching my VHS tapes and playing in my room with my WWF action figures of the era. A great time to enjoy wrestling. I blame my mum for getting me into wrestling in the 80s despite being born in '86 lol. My mum watch the old UK wrestling on TV and when we lived in the US after I was born we would have Portland Wrestling on TV until we came back to the UK and I was hooked
In terms of matching a performer with the right theme, Mr. Perfect could be number 1

Can kind of understand his ranking. Listen to the version from 92 compared with one from 95. The organ playing in the latter version is what made it iconic. His older version seems way more elementary
Entertaining. Is there a WCW version?
Oh the memories of my teen years
Red rooster telling the kiddies to say no to drugs? The way he acted makes you think he was on crack.
The strikeforce theme would be perfect for an 80,s highscool training montage.
Totally disagree with the rankings but a must watch due to it bringing back good memories
I never knew Hillbilly Jim’s exact entrance theme.
When you make a ranking list but instead of thinking you pick names out of a hat. Haven't made it to the top ten and I've heard Savage, Perfect, Hart, Taker, Razor, all iconic themes beat out by Ham and eggers.
JIVE SOUL BRO....greatest theme song ever!!!
Too many have passed too soon 😢
You clearly made this list to get comments and views, and it worked. Undertaker, Jimmy Snuka, Hart Foundation, Macho Man, Mr. Perfect, Legion of Doom & Million Dollar Man theme songs should be higher on this list. Most of these songs are so iconic and reminds me of when life was great, i don't know if you can actually rank these.

Can I get bonus credit for knowing the the opening music of the video is the title music from the WWF WrestleMania Challenge game on the NES?
THAT WAS COOL
Greatest themes,...a constant drum roll of Slaughter HA LOL, very catchy (rolls eyes).
lots of favorite themes here
How can Hogan, Savage, and HBK be so low, especially compared to Koko and Bruteye
I always thought macho mans theme song would have suited his brother the Genius better since the Genius would always walk to ring with a cap and gown.
Ravishing Rick Rude had at least two different themes. The best theme for him is posted, though.
Never realized how much the ultimate warriors theme sounded like the rockers theme until just now
No Hot Rod bagpipes
Dang, my dad LOVES hillbilly jim, he would play his theme every now and again
Legion of Doom easily Top 5, Demolition at least one above, Undertaker’s intro put the fear in crowds, totally forgot about million dollar jam - top ✌️, and Warrior’s was and forever will be the Ultimate
Jake the Snake and Rick the Model Martel had dope songs
Demolition @17:20 and Ultimate Warrior @19:18. Very hard not to head bang on those riffs.
