5 worst PPV theme songs in WWE History

WrestleMania 24
WrestleMania 24 saw a slight hiccup with its chosen theme song, "Snow".

#1 “Control” - Puddle of Mudd (Survivor Series 2001)

If you’re looking at the title alone, this is great. The main event of the 2001 edition of Survivor Series was the WWF vs. the WCW/ECW Alliance for control of the company. Great! In fact, much like the 2017 edition, all of the matches (except for one, which was the Light Heavyweight Title/Cruiserweight Title match) were WWF vs. Alliance. The two sides were fighting, once and for all, for control of the company.

Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.

The problem is that the lyrics are incredibly inappropriate for use with a wrestling show. And I’m not talking about the PG era since this was long before that. Check out some of the lyrics:

“I like it when you chain me to the bed // But then your secrets never shone”

“I love the way you look at me // I love the way you smack my a** // I love the dirty things you do // I have control of you”

(You can find the lyrics floating all over the internet.)

That second set of lyrics was repeated four times in a row, for the record.

It’s a song about a back-and-forth relationship based on sex, power, and control all mixed up into one insane love song. Because that’s what this is. It’s a twisted take on a love song. I personally really enjoy it, and it sounds absolutely spectacular for use as a PPV theme song, but if you listen to the lyrics, you might feel differently.
