5 worst PPV theme songs in WWE History

#2 “Snow (Hey Oh)” - Red Hot Chili Peppers (WrestleMania 24)

It’s ironic because there’s no snow in Florida! One would assume that’s what WWE originally thought when they decided to go with the song. It was popular at the time, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were going strong after some time away, and the music video was all about the band’s appreciation for their fans, so how could this not be a perfect theme for the biggest event of the year?

Oh no, wait. What? The song was about lead singer Anthony Kiedis’ drug addiction? He didn’t want to just build forts with his fans and hurl balls of ice across a field for fun and merriment? Oh. Well then. WWE, as you might expect, stopped using so heavily in their promotion of the show and focused more on Rev Theory’s “Light It Up” instead. Based on the lyrics, that song is about drugs and alcohol too.

About the author

I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.

I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
