One thing the WWE has been able to do is able to do is find great PPV theme music. Take the past few WrestleMania shows. Shinedown's "I Dare You", Saliva's "Ladies & Gentlemen" and even Peter Gabriel's "Big Time" all worked for promoting the shows. That's why I was a little worried when the WWE announced that the Red Hot Chili Peppers "Snow (Hey Oh)" was the official theme song of WrestleMania XXIV. As much as I love the Chili Peppers, I'm just not seeing Jeff Hardy jumping off the top of a ladder while "Snow" is playing. It just lacks the edge of past songs. Unless the WWE has the Chili Peppers playing live at WM24, they should just drop the song. Besides, there are other Chili Peppers songs that would work.
Thankfully, somebody at corporate saw the problem. Now, Rev Theory's "Light it Up" has been added as "one of WM24's theme songs". This song is the "edge" song that is befitting of the Granddaddy of Shows. "Light it Up" has been getting lots of spins during RAW/ECW/Smackdown broadcasts and "Snow" has been pushed to the background.
