Notes

1. An instrumental version of "WrestleMania" was used as the theme song for WrestleManias X (1994) through XIV (1998). It was also later used as Linda McMahon's entrance music.
2. Samples the percussion and a very similar bass beat from "Visions of China" by Japan, as well as "Nasty" by Janet Jackson.
3. Incorporates elements from the wrestler's entrance music.
