WWE Music
WWE is famous, globally. WWE stands for World Wrestling Entertainment. WWE does business in over 100 countries and broadcasts its programs in dozens of languages. It is traded on the New York Stock Exchange.The CEO and majority shareholder of WWE is the iconic Vince McMahon. The McMahon family, going back generations, has chiefly engineered the modern multi-million dollar professional wrestling industry.
This picture of McMahon found at topsocialite.com is accompanied by the description "I think Vince McMahon is on to something here...." Now he is up to MUSIC, and probably selling an amount to be envied by many contemporary "music companies." Like professional boxing's anthems such as "Gonna Fly Now (Theme From 'Rocky') ", or "Eye Of The Tiger ," the WWE has its own music too.
Whether you're talking about WWW Music or specifically WWE music downloads, WWE Theme Songs can date its origins back to the WWF. Different incarnations of these WWE Theme Songs have been around practically since the beginning of wrestling (these are available for WWE music download) - but the WWF started producing albums back in 1985 and the album was simply called “The Wrestling Album”. There was a group anthem called “Land of a Thousand Dances” recorded by a majority of their roster – this was also turned into a music video. It took another 8 years before WWE Music Group or WWE Records would release another album – in 1993 they introduced WrestleMania: The Album. Neither album had much commercial success. Finally in 1996 a different approach was taken that would catch the vast legions of fans’ interests. By mixing intro music and mixing in compilations by various rappers the next set of albums containing these WWE Theme Songs (started by WWF Full Metal and then WWF The Music 2, 3 & 4 became a phenomenon). Albums began to flourish. WWE Aggression was followed by WWE The Music 5 which debut on Billboard 200 at position #2. Big time artists’ collaborations and an ever increasing fan base led to a very successful branding of Music by the WWE. wwemusic.org
