To refresh your memory if those words don't immediately stir up what I'm talking about. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFLuZaeAciEBeen reminded of the song recently since it's included in WWE 2K14 (as is the classic Mania theme, though for some stupid reason you can use this song as an entrance one but not that one), and I just find myself wondering... Does anyone know why exactly this song exists? It does seem like this weird little oddity, kind of like how the Deadly Game theme for Survivor Series 1998 was later randomly remade on Wreckless Intent. As an aside, I'm glad that remake cut the stupid, out of place rap verse that has nothing to do with anything and completely breaks up the flow of the original song. Anyway, back onto the subject of this theme. Do like it, honestly think it has this good, big time feel and I kind of get a chill hearing it, but I am confused by its existence.

It's the Mack Militant, coming to get it on.

I admit, until this thread I somehow never noticed the resemblance. Can hear it now, though.

It was the theme song to WM2000 (WM16, whatever), which took place in Anaheim IIRC. It was also one of the last major PPV themes Jim Johnston produced in-house, not long before they started using mainstream band songs as PPV themes.
And as mentioned, it was the song they ended up morphing into Rodney Mack & Teddy Long's MackMilitant theme a few years later (the MackMilitant version, turns out, debuted as Teddy's theme after Mack was either let go or was relegated to Heat for the remainder of his worthless WWE career).
