Songs Fully Created By Pro Wrestlers (2025)

There are a lot of wrestlers who are more than just talented in the ring. As seen by names like Batista, The Rock, and John Cena, former WWE Champions who have broken into the mainstream via their acting roles in massive franchises like the MCU and Fast & The Furious. Others have been able to find varying degrees of success doing work in the music industry.

Scrolling through the internet, we have found an array of songs that were created by a wrestler, either as a solo artist or in a band, that range from being great works of art, to something that just needs to be seen to believe. Here are some of the many songs that wrestlers created that their fans must know about.

Be A Man By Randy Savage

Released October 7th, 2003

• It is part of a 14-track rap album.
• Most of the album and this song specifically is a diss track to Hulk Hogan.
• The song "Perfect Friend" is a tribute to Curt Hennig.

This and the next entry might be some of the more well-known albums created by a professional wrestler simply due to their age and how much they have been talked about in the wrestling community. On the off chance you haven't heard of this, Be A Man is a rap album made by "Macho Man" Randy Savage in his signature rough voice.

The majority of the album was made as a diss track to Hulk Hogan, with the title track "Be A Man" being the biggest jab at the Hulkster. The only non-diss track was Perfect Friend, which was written as a tribute to "Mr Perfect" Curt Hennig, who had passed away a few months before the album was released.

The Time Is Now By John Cena

Released March 17th, 2005

• It was the lead single for Cena's 2005 album, You Can't See Me.
• The album peaked at number 15 on the Billboard 200.
• Cena's old entrance theme "Basic Thuganomics" was meant to appear on the album.

Due to it being his theme song for the last decade-plus, it would be hard to find a wrestling fan who hasn't heard "The Time Is Now" by John Cena. It is the rest of the album that people need to hear, such as the tracks "Right Now" and "If It All Ended Tomorrow". Cena did all the writing alongside his cousin, Tha Tradmarc.

The album saw some success as it peaked at number 15 on the Billboard 200 and sold around 385,000 units during its lifespan.

We Like To Rock By Terry Funk

Released Sometime In 1984

• This is one of three albums released by Terry Funk.
• It was only ever released in Japan.
• Half of the album was written by Jimmy Hart.

It doesn't seem to be much of a shocker because of how great of a promo Terry Funk was in his prime, that the man would decide to take up singing sometime.

"Despite being packaged as a collection of sh*t-kickin’ tuff-guy anthems, is a baffling mixture of off-kilter quasi-disco, watery session-band almost-rock, and ballads destined only for the jankiest of karaoke machines." (H/T Vice)

This is also one of three albums that Funk would release during his lifetime, this one being released exclusively in Japan.

March Of The Luchagors By The Luchagors

Released September 11th, 2007

• Led by frontwoman Amy Dumas (Lita).
• Their sound has been compared to The Ramones and The Misfits.
• They played their last concert in July 2014.

Amy Dumas, better known as Lita, started the band The Luchagors with her at-the-time boyfriend and some friends. They started playing some smaller shows in the Atlanta area before creating their debut, and only, album in 2007.

The group continued to tour and play festivals for a few years after the release of their album, but by 2014, Lita admitted the band was seemingly done with a tour in the UK not succeeding as they wanted. Lita herself contributed some vocals to another band, JD & The FDCs' debut album.

Big Pressure By Sw3rve The Realest

March 11th, 2022

• Became Swerve Strickland's entrance theme.
• Released as a single before Swerve's debut album, You Couldn't Be Me.
• Collaborated with Flash Garments, who works on other songs with Swerve.

Swerve Strickland has been killing it with his recent work as AEW World Champion and his feud with Adam Page, but the man does not get enough credit when it comes to his music. Big Pressure was a track he released back in 2022 but wouldn't take off until he started using it as his theme song and Prince Nana started dancing to it every week.

At the moment, Swerve has released numerous singles and two full-length albums that can be found on streaming services. Swerve also has another project titled Swerve City, where he releases music with a recent album release called Tears.

Who Invited The Russian Soldier? By Every Time I Die

Released September 15th, 2009

• Andy Williams (The Butcher) played guitar for the group.
• The band was Williams' career long before wrestling.
• The band confirmed their end in 2022.

Every Time I Die was a big deal in the metal and hardcore music scene. The group started back in 1998 and released nine albums before calling it quits in 2022. The group was led by Keith Buckley, who did the vocals, but Andy Williams, a.k.a. The Butcher in AEW was the band's rhythm guitarist for their run.

Provided every album by the group was pretty solid, most can agree that New Junk Aesthetic released in 2009 was their best. New Junk Aesthetic received 4 out of 5 stars and above 90% from almost every music publication that reviewed the album.

Prison Walls By Kamala

Released Sometime In 2006

• Released as part of The Best of Kamala Vol 1.
• Launched the album on his website in 2006.
• It features a wide array of Blues, Soul, Gospel, and other genres of music.

The man behind the Kamala gimmick is an interesting story. James Harris, who sadly passed away in 2020, did a lot more than wrestling during his lifetime, including writing and producing hundreds of songs.

He would release his debut album titled, The Best of Kamala Vol 1 sometime in 2006 by dropping the album on his website. The themes of his music often talked about his problems with working in wrestling, the low pay he was receiving, and politics.

Hoeski By Zack Ryder

Released November 15th, 2012

• Released a music video for the song on WWE's official YouTube channel in 2013.
• The video reached over 100,000 views in four days.
• The song reached number 92 on the iTunes Pop Music chart in 2013.

The wave of popularity that Zack Ryder was riding in the early 2010s was massive, and it was largely due to his Z! True Long Island Story YouTube series. The hype started to die down at the start of 2012, but Ryder would try to keep it alive with the release of his single, Hoeski.

The song did fairly well and even reached number 92 on the iTunes Pop Music chart the following year.

Be Harder By God's Hate

Released March 12th, 2021

• Led by frontman, Brody King.
• The band released their first EP in 2014.
• "Be Harder" is their biggest hit on Spotify with over 1 million streams.

Brody King of the House of Black in AEW has been killing it as the frontman for his band, God's Hate. The group started in 2014 and released their first EP, Divine Injustice. Their sound is very heavy and fits the vibe of their motto, "Life is hard - be harder".

Their most recent and self-titled album has become their most popular, seeing over a million streams on Spotify. Coming from the group's motto, "Be Harder" is the perfect track to get someone new into this band.

I Believe In Joe Hendry By Joe Hendry

Released October 30th, 2019

• Joe Hendry has been making music for years.
• Often made parody songs to taunt his opponents.
• The song has over 3 million streams on Spotify.

Joe Hendry has taken the wrestling world by storm due to his character work and the songs he has created. First finding a decent level of popularity when he parodied tracks like "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen and "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65 to taunt his opponents on the indy scene.

It would be when Hendry joined the TNA roster and fans heard his theme song, "I Believe In Joe Hendry". The track has become so popular that Joe Hendry chants have been said on shows he has nothing to do with, and the song reached number 4 on the Official Big Top 40 charts in the UK.
