WWE/TNA Grammy's: CM Punk, Triple H and Awarding the Best in Wrestling Music

The 54th Grammys took place in Staples Center Sunday night, with music's biggest night conveniently reverberating throughout a host of genres, including professional wrestling. 

Music is ubiquitous in our lives, and whether it be movies, TV shows or even sports entertainment, music more times than not prevails as the heartbeat of any film, broadcast or production. 

With each wrestler and wrestling personality accompanied by their own theme music, it sure would be interesting to consider which particular musical tributes would be worthy of a Grammy in their respective categories. 

Keep in mind this list will be awarding musical performances that were around in 2011; however, they could have debuted before 2011. Sorry, Funkasaurus fans. Next year.

Song of the Year: CM Punk's 'Cult of Personality' by Living Colour

The angle of the year, that in turn produced the match of the year, also had a soundtrack.  As CM Punk catapulted into the rarefied stratosphere of top-level stars following his feud with John Cena, he received a notable upgrade in theme music.  

To fit his anti-establishment sentiments, CM Punk was given the perfect theme music halfway through 2011, and in the middle of his high-profile feud with John Cena, Living Colour's popular "Cult of Personality" single served as the accompaniment to CM Punk's ongoing revolution. 

Best New Artist: Dolph Ziggler's 'Here to Show the World' by Downstait

Dolph Ziggler's theme music was played with for a while there, but the A.D.D. WWE seemed to have finally gotten it right in late 2011 with the debut of "Here to Show the World" by Downstait, who also performs theme music for the Miz and Alex Riley. 

Ziggler's change in theme music has coincided with a recent surge up the pecking order, and although his train is currently derailed, he remains a likely candidate to break out in 2012. 

Best Dance Recording: Robbie E's Generic Techno Music

The dance category never provides much category from year to year, and 2011 was no exception, as Robbie E. won the award for his Jersey Shore-inspired techno theme. 

Robbie E. should thank the WWE for delaying the debut of Brodus Clay until early 2012, as the Funkasaurus would have been a runaway victor in this category for his funky borrowed theme song, "Somebody Call My Momma."

Best Country Performance: James Storm's 'Longnecks and Rednecks' by Dale Oliver

James Storm has fully embraced his cowboy gimmick because, well, he is a cowboy.  Storm's theme music was of the highest importance when it came to bringing together the whole package of a redneck cowboy who can kick ass. 

Throughout his Tennessee-flavored career in TNA, Storm's most recent country theme, performed by Dale Oliver, certainly does him justice. 

Best Metal Performance: Triple H's 'the Game' by Motorhead

Maybe we could even consider this of the lifetime achievement variety, but Triple H's hard-hitting theme remains the best that metal has to offer in the WWE. 

With help from legendary English band Motorhead, Triple H's theme music has persisted as one of the most recognizable theme songs throughout the WWE.  And while he has had some alterations like Motorheads followup "King of Kings," "The Game" remains the authority in terms of Triple H's walkout music. 

Best Classical Performance: Daniel Bryan's 'Flight of the Valkyries' by Wagner

Longtime WWE producer Jim Johnston deserves credit for adding his own brand of spice to an established classical music song after a flat follow-up to Bryan's Ride of the Valyries theme. 

Bryan's newer, updated take on Richard Wagner's classic has helped play him up to the world championship picture, where he currently reigns as the World Heavyweight Champion. 

Best Hip Hop Performance: John Cena's 'the Time Is Now' by John Cena

John Cena's now iconic single, "The Time is Now," has been his theme music since 2005 and has remained his theme music through his subsequent breakout success.

While much of John Cena's WWE career has changed since 2005, where he donned a thugged-out rapper gimmick, one thing that has remained the same is Cena's theme music as fans react accordingly to the opening horns that play Cena out in arenas worldwide. 

Best Latin Performance: Alberto Del Rio's 'Realeza' by Jim Johnston

The Latin music category was actually quite competitive with the onset of Primo and Epico, but in the end, Alberto Del Rio's theme music fits him like a glove and is the perfect combination of finesse and intensity with a unique combination Mariachi and rock. 

Best Reggae Performance: Kofi Kingston's 'S.O.S.' by Collie Buddz

Kofi Kingston is the obvious and uncontested winner in the reggae music category with his S.O.S. theme to go along with his still somewhat Jamaican gimmick. 

Kingston has had a rough go of things as of late thanks in part to Evan Bourne's indiscretions, but recently may have salvaged a formidable single's career as a result of his fantastic hand-walking spot from the Royal Rumble. 

Best Pop Performance: Zack Ryder's 'Radio' by Watt White

If any song had an outside chance to chart as a single on the Billboard 100, Zack Ryder's intentionally cheesy theme music has to be considered a favorite. 

The self-appreciative lyrics of Ryder's popular theme have helped package Ryder into a growing commodity for the WWE as the machine looks to squeeze every drop of social media juice out of the former United States Champion.
