There’s a neat intro, and then generic butt-rock.
This theme was only used for about four months of The Undertaker’s career, and it was replaced for good reason. There’s the “HEY HEY” part that everyone seems to know, and when that’s the only thing in an Undertaker song that people recognize, you know you’ve got a garbage fire of an entrance theme. That’s followed by a crappy Kid Rock song (even by Kid Rock standards) that doesn’t have much of a hook or a decent build. While the WWE tried to make “American Bad Ass” scary by having creepy children utter some sort of Freddy Kreuger poem before the crap-rock kicks in, it’s probably the worst preamble to any Undertaker song. The Undertaker and licensed music are like oil and water, and it was never more apparent than when The Undertaker used a song from Kid Rock. From Dead Man to Cult Leader to Biker, he’s had the song to fit every change in style, so let’s discuss where each one rests in peace on this list! 11 – “AMERICAN BAD ASS” BY KID ROCK He just took part in the main event of SummerSlam, is a bona-fide WWE Hall of Famer (provided he keeps his murders fictional), and he’s had more themes than just about anyone else in WWE history. To kick things off, we’re going to rank the themes of The Undertaker. One thing will be common they all had a crap-ton of wrestling themes and I have an opinion on just about every single song. Others will be guys who struggled to find their personalities.
Some will be legends who have constantly reinvented themselves. I’m hoping to use this space each week to go through the careers of many wrestlers. We talk a lot about wrestling here at Laser Time (listen to Cheap Popcast, by the way), but for all of the talk about great matches and behind-the-scenes action, we sometimes forget to talk about one of the biggest facets of creating a star in modern-day wrestling having a memorable entrance theme.
Greetings! Welcome to what I hope will be a regular feature here at Laser Time Wrestler Theme Friday (or WTF for short). Which is the best? Which is the worst? We count them down in the kickoff for Wrestler Theme Friday! The Undertaker has been in the WWE for almost 25 years, and he’s had plenty of entrance themes during that time.
