Songs with wrestlers in Lyrics

[King Fox -1017 Bricksquad]

Right now I'm listening to Talib Kweli's latest album "Eardrum"(Great album BTW) and heard this incredible line.

"I go hard like Iverson play in hurt ankles plus I wrestle my topics from a different kurt Angle.''

and I wanna know what are some other songs where the artist mentions pro wrestlers.

[Mozenrath]

If I remember correctly, New Jack is referenced in a Weezer song.

Yeah, that was "El Scorcho."

Anyways, someone made a post about this good YouTube video with wrestling references in hip-hop, so here's the link again:

Hmm... songs about wrestling... Well, my genres of expertise are punk, ska, hardcore, and its ilk, so let me contribute a handful of songs:

"The Crusher" by the Ramones. Never sure if this was a real wrestler, but it sure is about wrestling.

"You F---ed Up" by Los Dryheavers. This song is incredible. Really fast rock and roll song about the original ECW. The chorus is like a wrestling chant, and the song makes a bunch of references to the original fed. This is my favorite wrestling-related song.

"Hulk Hogan" by Skankin' Pickle: Good band, but this song is kinda meh.

Other songs that reference wrestling:
-"Wrestlemania 5: Hulk Hogan Vs. Macho Man... Winner Gets Miss Elizabeth's Love" by Daggermouth (The title, der)
-"The Bottom Line" by Belvedere. Here are the amusing lyrics:

"The Bottom Line"

He rose from Texas the wrestling scene writing the scriptures of 3:16,
took it upon himself to erase pieces of trash who got in his face,
I see his shirts wherever I wander, I know in my heart that they've never laundered
and they never need it to be and that kind of attitude appeals to me.

And Mcmahon can't control him so don't even try,
you can have him arrested but there goes the ride,
can't take away the intensity of his high,
but you can't lock away the Stone Cold pride.

Took out poor Vinnie a shot to the sac,
A picture was taken so he could look back,
A pain inflicted on a true fiend,
molding the king of the true 3:16,
he's in top form and his knee is fixed,
ready to school that Shawn Michaels prick
and open up a can of whoop-ass
how do you like that jackass?

And Mcmahon can't control him so don't even try,
you can have him arrested but there goes the ride,
can't take away the intensity of his high,
but you can't lock away the Stone Cold pride.

I've got the eye of the tiger, but I'm ten times Rocky.

Assuming he meant Maivia.

[Baixo Astral]

'She's the main man in her office in the city / And she treats me like I'm just another lackey / But I can put a tennis racket up against my face / And pretend that I am Kendo Nagasaki'.

[SAJ Forth]

I Think Method Man said in a song "I'am Big John Studd, middle name's Mud".

[The Cool Pup]

Does "WWF Aggression" count?

[Mozenrath]

"I'm the Mountie, and I enforce the Law!

[Slim Loves Lily]

Wu-Tang has a TON of wrestler names in their songs.

[Back to being Cenanuff]

Watch out, or you'll get STEINERIZED.

[Metalheadbanger Man]

"WWF" by Bracket - doesn't mention a specific wrestler but the lyrics are:

"I throw you down
But there's no pain
I kick your head
And act insane

If I do anything to you
Enjoy the illusion
Cause it won't hurt at all

I slap your face
Without contact
I wanna hear
The crowd react

This confrontation is not exactly what it seems
No one else seems to care."

I think they're taking the piss a little bit, but I don't care because they are an awesome band.

...So his name is Big John Mud Studd?

And "El Scorcho" also mentions Johnny Grunge. "Watchin' Grunge legdrop New Jack through a press table".

[Captain Wonderful]

Anal c*** has a song called "Well, You Know, Mean Gene..." They also have one called "Hey, Aren't You Gary Spivey?" So, I guess that kind of counts. If not, it's still funny.

[DiBiase is Good]

I'll go with the obvious REM's "Man on the Moon" which names Fred Blassie and Andy Kaufman.

[BJ Sturgeon]

The most prominent one might be REMs 'Man On The Moon' which is about Andy Kaufmann and mentions Freddie Blassie.

[acressl]

That's awesome someone made this thread. I just heard that Weezer song a little while ago. He's like "watchin Grunge leg drop New Jack through a press table."

[Bobeddy]

HEI-DEN
HEIDENREICH
HEI-DEN-REICH

[Disco Inferno]

An independent rapper named Pestalance is the first person I've heard reference Mr Kennedy in his song "The End".

He actually does the pause and says "Kennedy" a second time.

I believe the actual line is "Yell my name out and repeat myself like Mr. Kennedy....Kennedy"

Edit: Here's his myspace. The song is on his album. www.myspace.com/thepestalance

I bought his album from the site. Honestly, it was well worth the 12 bucks I spent on it.

How sweet would it be if there were a really talented band that chose to strictly write songs about obscure jobbers and other fringe wrestling people? I'm thinking metal/progressive rock but there'd be some ballads in there. Like a hair band struggling to make their way in modern times. Though seeing as how they're a hypothetical band, who knows? Sky's the limit.
