TNA/Impact has neither been the biggest nor wisest wrestling promotion in history, but few will admit that it has housed some of the biggest names to ever step foot in a ring. From Jeff Jarrett to Samoa Joe, from AJ Styles to Josh Alexander, the promotion has housed some noteworthy names.

But stars are not all that Impact has. It also has had some great music that serves to accentuate its users. Whether it be upbeat rock for a plucky male face or sultry electronic pop for a glamorous female heel, many of its entrance themes have always been critically lauded, and here are the best examples of that.
10 Moose (Heel)
Ever since he turned heel in 2018, Moose has made a killing as one of Impact's best villains, terrorizing his opponents with his brutish size, wrestling style, and demeanor. His accompanying theme accentuates all that very well.
The theme starts rather slowly, but then the strings and guitar take a fast turn as repeated chants of "Moose" blare all over, reminding audiences of whom they are dealing with - a monster in the literal and figurative sense of the word.
9 Killer Kross
Remember when Killer Kross (the current Karrion Kross in WWE) was in Impact? Aside from being Austin Aries' henchman, he arguably did not do much in the promotion.

But just look at him. With the right creative direction, Kross could have been a big deal for Impact. Tall, good-looking, and intimidating - he could have broken away from his benefactor and become a huge star in his own right. His music reflected that perfectly: dark and heavy, as if Death himself had finally manifested inside the ring.
8 oVe (First Version)
There have actually been two versions of the Ohio Versus Everything theme: the first, which has a slow chanting intro and fast music; and the second, which has faster chanting but slower music.
In hindsight, the first one gets the nod here. The opening is brooding - fitting for a stable who more than made up for their lack of size with a menacing collective and individual presence. And the ensuing fast music is beautifully manic - a good fit for a group that thrived on chaos and brutality (go watch their Barbed Wire Massacre match against LAX).
7 Masha Slamovich (Art of Violence)
When Impact signed Masha Slamovich, it was hailed as a godsend. Here was another terrific worker with a strong stage presence - someone who may not be that physically huge, but more than makes up for it with a ferocity that only a few of her peers can match.
And while her current theme is no slouch, "Art of Violence" was such a great fit for her - brutal and violent, just like her in the ring. It also provided a nice contrast to the shady theme of her now-ally Killer Kelly.
6 Su Yung
In 2018, Vannarah Riggs crashed Impact like a horror movie villain as the undead monster Su Yung. Sporting creepy face paint and what appeared to be a frayed, bloodstained dress, she immediately told the fans what she wanted: the Knockouts title, which she won after much tormenting of Allie and Rosemary.
Since then, Riggs has adopted two more personas: the innocent-looking Susie and the overbearing assistant Susan. But the original gimmick is still the most endearing, and being accompanied by a theme that sounds as though it were lifted straight from a horror movie helps.
5 Deonna Purrazzo
Deonna Purrazzo is, without a doubt, one of the biggest steals in Impact Wrestling history. Once an unassuming prospect who struggled to establish herself in WWE, she has since found her calling in the North America's third-largest promotion, portraying the Virtuosa - a savant who exudes grandiosity both when competing and when talking.
Her entrance theme is a perfect reflection of this: heavy on strings, it sounds like the masterpiece of a classical composer, with a heavy backdrop that serves to remind viewers of her greatness.
4 Aces And Eights
Say what you will about the Aces and Eights, but they remain one of the most notable stables TNA/Impact has ever seen. Their leader, Bully Ray, had already proven himself a capable heel before as a member of Immortal, but it was with Aces and Eights that he truly hit the upper echelon, winning his first-ever major singles title.
And the music that accompanied him and his "boys" was a simple acoustically-flavored rock theme that spoke about the solidarity they enjoyed - truly a laid-back yet iconic for such an iconic faction.
3 LAX
Another Impact faction that deserves mention is the Latin American Xchange, or LAX for short. Initially comprised of Homicide and Hernandez, they have been, in their core, a group of very proud Hispanic Americans. And their theme song is one of the longest-enduring, serving them well into the Santana-Ortiz era, for good reason.
It begins with guns cocking, which is an indication that there will be no quarter given to opponents, before transitioning into a powerful rap about Hispanic strength. The Santana and Ortiz-era remixed added a helicopter, giving the impression of an aerial infiltration.
2 The OGz
Speaking of Homicide and Hernandez, their 2018 return and subsequent feud with the new LAX is one of the best of the post-Dixie Carter era, from the explosive reveal that their manager King (aka Eddie Kingston) had ordered the attack on Konnan to their series of stellar fights.
It also did not hurt that their theme song is one of the most beautiful pieces ever composed for Impact. An aggressive rap that notably contains profanity, it lyrically is a great encapsulation of what King desired: since he could not lure Santa and Ortiz away from Konnan, he cannot lose anything anymore, so he is resorting to his "cold-blooded" measure.
1 Rosemary
Although Holly Letkeman currently is still in Impact as her old indie character Courtney Rush, her initial persona Rosemary is one of the most endearing gimmicks in company history. From her "friendship" with Allie to her multiple titles, she is considered a legend among the many characters to have graced the promotion.

Of course, her theme song "Left Behind" (which her old stable Decay also used during their second run) is equally instantly iconic. It begins with a scream that could be interpreted as "The Hive" calling out to her, then descends into a dark and heavy ballad that perfectly ties into her inner demon.
