Yeah, crappy choice. Not a bad song, but a bad choice for a "hype" song.
Whether you like the type of music or not, good rock or metal music fits perfect for wrestling hype videos; Loud, fast and aggressive.
I hated Big Time, lyrically it made sense, but it sounded pretty pansy.
A good WM song should be rock, metal or orchestral. Something loud or which creates an "epic" feeling. Yeah, it's cliched, but that's cos that type of music FITS. I hate the mentality that jut cos something has been done a lot, you should do something different for the sake of it. There IS a reason why they haven't used slow, completely inappropriate music for a WM theme before...

I believe "Snow" is the worst song RHCP has ever recorded, so yeah, I hate it. A lot.
Also, "Hey-oooo listen what I saaay-ooooo" is probably the worst lyric since "When I'm asleep/you touch my feet/You let me know/That I am your creep".

I don't "hate" the song, because honestly there is some terrible, terrible music out there far more worthy of my hatred.
However, does anyone else remember when Chilli Peppers were actually GOOD? Man I miss them days.

Am I the only one who thinks they should use Black Metal by Venom?
Yeah? Ok.
Err, I reckon Coming Home or Ties That Bind by Alter Bridge would be the best fit.

If they're gonna use an RHCP song, at least use "Give it Away".
Better yet, use their version of "Higher Ground".

I hate RHCP and I hate that song. It's a shame because even if I normally dislike the band I normally don't mind the theme when it is promoting WrestleMania. But this song just doesn't go with the feel of 'The Grandaddy of 'em All!"

Am I the only one who thinks they should use Black Metal by Venom? I think that as well. Either that or 'Rockit' by Herbie Hancock.

i hate it. not only is it my least favourite chillis song, but it is terrible for wrestlemania. it doesn't even have a chorus. you might as well get jack johnson to do the theme, because it's way too soft sounding for a wrestling show, especially one like WM.

Don't worry, as soon as Limp Bizkit or Drowning Pool write another song we won't have to worry. I hope so. I'm one of the 2% here who love almost all of WWE's song choices for PPVs. Anyway, I like this song but like a lot of others I don't think it fits as the main song for a Wrestlemania. This fits for Summerslam like a hand in a glove. If it does turn out to be a secondary song in the end then it's perfect.

I like it. They'll make it work. Besides Wm always has two-three themes these days.

I don't like it at all. It's too slow, has stupid lyrics, and there is no snow in Florida. I say bring back Big Time.

I love the song, but damn it's kinda slow for a Wm hype video.

It'll probably be used for the opening video when they talk about how much Wrestlemania and wrestling means to them. I always love those videos and 'Snow' could probably be used to make a pretty good one.

Beats the hell out of the last few songs for the last few PPV's. Including the "song that will not be named" that gets played in EVERY F***ING COMMERCIAL now, including the PS3.
I despise that song. The Peppers song is cool. And it could always be worse.

I hated Big Time, lyrically it made sense, but it sounded pretty pansy. How? Compared to this old Mania theme, it's as badass as Metallica: Begins at like 27 seconds, I couldn't find it anywhere else: youtube.com/watch?v=sm96Qs4RO3A&feature=related

I don't hate it. It's just not a wrestling song. At least Big Time made some sense. They should just use Big Time from now on. That's the perfect song for Wrestlemania. Which one? I personally liked the version from The Soundtrack of Our Lives the most out of all the WM themes. youtube.com/watch?v=LYQwtRFxMUo

I like the band and the song, but considering the song is a metaphor for cocaine, it's not exactly the most appropriate choice the WWE could have made at this time.
