Themeaddict: WWE The Music V6 Soundtrack CD

As the composer behind entrance themes for the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment, formerly the World Wrestling Federation) for more than two decades, Jim Johnston came a long way from the days of Hulk Hogan's "Real American." In 2004, the WWE released THEMEADDICT, a compilation of Johnston's theme songs that traffics in a contemporary alt-rock/hip-hop vibe guaranteed to connect with a young audience.

Motorhead serves as the elder statesmen on this collection with "Line in the Sand," a song that gives wrestling star Evolution a sinister leg up, thanks to a combination of Lemmy's growl and some sinewy guitar playing. Although there are other metal-tinged tunes, the mix offers a surprisingly dynamic selection of musical styles. "Chavito Ardiente" is a crisp bit of mariachi-inflected pop used by Chavo Guerrero. John Cena even goes as far as to incorporate a sample of Big Daddy Kane's "Any Type of Way" amidst the crisp flow of "Untouchables." Leavening the mood is Gail Kim's lush dance theme "International Woman." For those craving a visual element, a bonus DVD, featuring numerous videos, is included.
