My Top 5 PPV Soundtracks.

Intro.

Music is the beating heart in the world of entertainment, and in the world of Pro Wrestling, it's really no differant. From artists performing at shows, to certain songs soundtracking perfect moments. Music is one of my main loves in life, alongside Pro wrestling. So here are some of my favourite times music has soundtracked Pro Wrestling.

5 War Machine. ACDC Wrestlemania 25.

Arguably. This. Is one of the weakest Mania's on record, Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels aside. It had a great Soundtrack, that was provided by ACDC, and The disaster that was HHH vs Randy Orton, was soundtracked perfectly by this song, and as a big fan of ACDC. This. Is an underrated gem, that worked well in this build up.

4 Liar. Jelly Roll.

One of my Albums of the year is Beautifully Broken by Jelly Roll, It has uncharted emotion echoing from the first track Winning Streak, to the flawless. Higher Than Heaven, but it was his song Liar, that he performed at Summerslam this year, that has put him on this list. The live performance was accompanied by highlights of the rivalries, that helped build the PPV, but that Chokeslam, that's a no go, in my opinion.

3 Sinner. Drowning Pool.

Back in late 2001, the Nu Metal trends were changing to the point of nonexistancy, but, that didn't stop the WWE using this song to hype the Triple Threat Match, between. The Rock. Stone Cold Steve Austin, and. Kurt Angle, This. Was perfect, and befitting for the time.

2 Troubador. George Straight.

This song soundtracked the final moments of The Undertakers Last Ride Docu Series, at it was a perfect way to say goodbye to a legend. I'll be an old Troubador when i'm gone, those words, just hit differant, in my opinion. 

1 Now That Were Dead. Metallica, and. My Way. Limp Bizkit.

I couldn't decide between these two, so I placed them both in the top spot. WWE have used Metallica's Now That Were Dead on two occassions, as a way to say goodbye to The Undertaker, whilst My Way, by. Limp Bizkit, was the main soundtrack to The Rock, and. Stone Cold Steve Austin's Wrestlemania 17 hype Video, both of these entries are perfect examples of how music can enhance video promotions.
