#2 Sting - Slay Me (Metallica’s Seek And Destroy)

When Sting returned to active competition in WCW he marched to the ring to a very slow, brooding, epic song befitting of the Crow character that he had become. From 1999 until the end of WCW, he used the Woodstock 1999 live version of Metallica’s “Seek And Destroy”, which came out of nowhere and was ridiculously awesome.

In TNA he used a number of iterations of the song, and for the most of his tenure, he used this version, which many TNA fans claim to be their favourite theme song used by any superstar to come through the company.

It was chaotic, out-of-control and, which probably the song that sounds the least like its inspiration on this list, definitely a great theme that fit Sting during his career resurrection in TNA.
