I like Phil Collins as much as the next guy, and Easy Lover is in my Mt.Rushmore of Phil's songs. But no way that songs fit the first WM. At most they should have used one of Cyndi Laupers songs, or any other Rock and Roll song that was popular at the time.
After checking wiki, the song that would have fit the first Wrestlemania, at the time, would have been "Let's Go Crazy" by Prince and the Revolution. For sure that would have been bonkers cause if Vinnie Mac knew anything, according to Dave Chappelle," Prince was the S***!!!!!"

Aint No Grave by Johnny Cash for Taker's entrance. For that matter, cash's cover of "hurt" for the eddie tribute video.

"Girl Gone Wild" by Madonna was an official theme of Wrestlemania 28. This is it.

Probably not the biggest and I don't particularly like the song but on principal I still appreciate when they used Rush's "Summertime Blues" cover for Summerslam. I still love how they edited some sound bites into the song with the hype video. "I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick. My boss said-" Vince: "YOU'RE FIRED!"

My Chemical Romance Na Na Na for TLC 2010 deserves a shout in this thread. Great tune for a good PPV (especially Morrison vs Sheamus and Edge/Rey/Del Rio/Kane)

It still stuns me WWE got a Green Day song for Smackdown, they must've got a bargain or pictures of Billy Joe Armstrong or something.
It doesn't stun me they had a Peter Gabriel song for a WM, but it stuns me it took so long. You'd think that'd be the theme for one of the first few Manias.
If you're considering "for the time", it's gotta be Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit. They were white-hot when they used them, and some of those PPVs were the first time a lot of people heard those songs. I don't recall "My Way" or "American Badass" getting decent radio play before they were used as the Mania and Undertaker's themes respectively. You gotta think even if Kid and Fred were big WWF/E fans, for their songs to hit so soon, WWE probably coughed up a bit.
You could add Saliva in there too I suppose, for that time. Not so much now though, since Josey Scott did the TLC theme just a couple years ago probably for cheap (which is actually one of my all-time fav. PPV themes the WWF/E has ever used).

All Summer Long was used as the Backlash 2008 theme and the song ended up being a bit hit that summer.
