Wrestling fans of a certain age will recognize Rush's seminal "Tom Sawyer" as the entrance theme for the late Kerry Von Erich in World Class Championship Wrestling. Von Erich's in-ring nickname was "The Modern Day Warrior", culled from the opening lyrics to "Tom Sawyer".
"Sawyer" was the first single from Rush's 1981 album, "Moving Pictures", and was the track that introduced me to the Canadian legends.
I think local radio had this in extra heavy rotation for most of the decade.
