Kendo Nagasaki was the subject of Kendo's Theme by Lloyd Ryan's Express. His surname also appears in a single by Crass.
A Fine Romance, lyrics by Dorothy Fields, hugely popular in 1936, rather boldly for the time uses wrestle to mean shag.
Kung Fu was a famous wrestler at the time Kung Fu Fighting was Number 1.

Aye it was always a good read. A pity then that the editor was a member of the BNP. Only in Rochdale!
Meanwhile in Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Again) Sly sings, "We began to wrestle, I was on the top" presumably in the sexual sense Satchmo mentions upthread.

Pretty sure Cyndi Lauper also acted as a wrestling promoter before her singing career - or at least had some involvement in the 'sport'. (Her one-time partner Dave Wolff certainly did.)
(Insane Clown Posse also founded their own wrestling federation - so I've just read.)
Wrestling-related albums/songs:
Half Nelson Groop Dogdrill
Gorgeous George Edwyn Collins
Beat the Champ The Mountain Goats
Man On the Moon - REM (Andy Kaufman was of course a sometime wrestler)
The Crusher - Ramones
Wrestlers - Hot Chip
El Scorcho - Weezer
Ric Flair - Killer Mike
PragVEC at the Melkweg - HMHB (references Johnny Kwango - and they have several others)
The Bottom Line - Belvedere (about Stone Cold Steve Austin)

I read this thread yesterday and thought I had nothing to contribute, but I've just remembered there's an Argentine rock nacional band called Sumo. Contemporaries of Soda Stereo, who you're all far more likely to have heard of (but aren't very wrestly).

He always looked to me like that forgotten member of The Sweet deemed too unattractive for public airing.
