5 WWE theme songs that transcended wrestling

#3 "The Game" (by Motorhead) - Triple H

It's not uncommon, as we saw earlier, for an established, popular music act to write, produce and perform a theme song for a WWE Superstar. But, few of those acts have the prestige and popularity of hard rock legends Motorhead.

How much clout does Triple H have? He didn't get Lemmy and the boys to record one theme song for him - he got them to write and record three of them. "The Game", "King of Kings", and "Line in the Sand", the theme music for Evolution.

But it's "The Game" I want to talk about here, as it's not only the song most associated with, well, The Game, but it's also become one of the band's most recognizable songs.

"The Game" was released on Motorhead's 2002 album Hammered (get it? Because Triple H uses a slidgeham... ugh, forget it) and, obviously, performed by the band, but it was actually written by long-time WWE composer Jim Johnston.

Since then, and up until Lemmy Kilmister's death in 2015, the song was a regular staple of their live shows (which I was so fortunate enough to see in 2014 in Austin, TX).

"The Game" might not be familiar to millions in general, but it's familiar to millions of both WWE and Motorhead fans alike, even when those two fandoms don't cross over. So, therefore, it deserves a place on this list.

Plus... I mean... just listen to it...
