Maven went on to use 'Tattoo' as his entrance theme for the entirety of his time in WWE (2001–2005).Īfter parting ways with Josh Lyons and Mark James, the band reorganized and changed its name to 'Mercy Drive'. WWE would also enlist the help of Big Mother Thruster to produce a song for the series' eventual winner, Maven Huffman. The soundtrack to the series went on to sell over 150,000 copies nationwide. Four of their songs were used on Tough Enough, a reality show produced by WWE which aired on MTV. In 2001, Big Mother Thruster gained bigger exposure through working with WWE (then World Wrestling Federation) and MTV.
They also gained recognition through supporting other acts including Drowning Pool, Adema and Staind. Their momentum increased when they played the Florida circuit. Big Mother Thruster was a moderate success. Jimmy McGlothin joined the band after meeting Corey in a mosh pit during a Hard Rock Live show in the summer of 2000. Mercy Drive originates from the band Big Mother Thruster, founded by Corey Lane and Josh Lyons.
