Update: this thread now contains 56 World Championship League passwords for 28 of the Wrestlers and tag teams.
Passwords for the full roster are almost complete. All of which can be viewed on the previous page of this thread.

I also added Hatamoto's 'Metsu' taunt as part of the Easter eggs.
Several of the tracks are based on real-life Wrestler's themes
Other than a seldom nod in the past, Super Fire Pro-Wrestling served as one of the earliest examples of tunes found
in-game that were also modelled after themes used by real-life Wrestlers.
BGM 8 (theme of Victory Musashi and Great Shiba)
The most iconic song in the Fire Pro series seems to be loosely based on Antonio Inoki's classic theme song
'Inoki Bom Ba Ye'; which Inoki lifted from famed boxer Muhammad Ali.
Granted, Fire Pro's version of the track has undergone numerous changes over the years; switching out the
big band and funk aesthetics of the 70's for a guitar-driven re-imagining, the track still carries a similar feel
to the original source material.
BGM 9 (theme of Ax Duggan and Thunder Ryu).
This catchy jingle appears to be based on the mid-temp rocker Thunderstorm; a theme used famously by Genichiro
Tenryu throughout the breadth of his career. In following games, both Hogan and Tenryu would ditch this theme in
exchange for two separate tracks.
BGM 10 (theme of Mad Tiger and Bloody Allen).
Few gaijins are as revered in Japan as Tiger Jeet Singh. Singh's feud with Antonio Inoki was one of the earliest worked
shoot angles in Japan; and would generate enough controversy to jumpstart New Japan Pro-Wrestling's early success
as a Wrestling promotion.
As such, BGM 10 is based on Tiger Jeet Singh's classic theme 'Sabre Tiger'.
BGM 14 (theme of Star Bison and B.G. Bull)
This thumping Western affair is a direct reference to Stan Hansen's iconic 'Sunrise' theme. A longstanding track that
would return in Super Fire Pro-Wrestling Special three years later.
BGM 17 (theme of Akira Saeba)
The flurry of notes and overall feel of this track are reminiscent of Akira Maeda's 'Captured' theme.
BGM 18 (theme of Hitman Sabre).
These brooding heel-inspired theme sounds close to Big Van Vader's early AJPW theme 'Eyes of The World'.
Especially during the entrance.
BGM 21 (theme of Super Kaizer and Phantom Guy)
This speedy, lighthearted tune is a nod to Jushin Liger's classic 'Ikari no Jushin Liger' theme song.
