Coming off of the start-to-finish awful WCW Slam Jam album, "Steinerized" remained the Steiner Brothers' theme song for the duration of their tag team careers. While they eventually made their way to the WWF around 1993, it was their stints in WCW where the Steiners really made their mark.Īside from being one of the greatest tag teams ever, the Steiners also had some of the most hilariously bad theme music ever as well.

Coming into the world of professional wrestling directly from the collegiate ranks at the University of Michigan, the Steiners quickly etched their place among the legendary ranks of their tag team peers. They also helped kick-start the early days of World Championship Wrestling.īack when most tag teams had some sort of outrageous premise behind their existence, the Steiner Brothers had the most basic gimmick in wrestling: they were wrestlers. Though their careers split in the mid-90s, the team of Rick and Scott, the Steiner Brothers, was one of the most dominant forces in the later days of the National Wrestling Alliance. (He's a Honky Tonk Man.) I'm just a Honky Tonk Man, I'm cool, I'm cocky, I'm bad." (He's a Honky Tonk Man.) I'm just a Honky Tonk Man. "I pick a mean guitar, I wear blue suede shoes, you ought to hear me sing the snakeskin blues. Whether you love him or hate him, The Honky Tonk Man is one of the most memorable characters ever in wrestling, and his theme music was no small part of that accomplishment. The fact that he was the man behind the microphone (true), and alleged to be the man playing the guitar (false) riled up fans across the globe to the point where all they had to hear were the opening licks to fill the arena with a chorus of boos. His theme song, "Cool, Cocky, Bad" was one of the few instances where a gimmick theme really clicked.
As result, Honky was turned heel rather quickly, and embarked upon one of the most storied careers in professional wrestling.įeuds with "Macho Man" Randy Savage, The Hart Foundation and Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, among others, led The Honky Tonk Man to what is still the longest Intercontinental title run ever, and his place in the memory of any longtime wrestling fan. Amazingly enough, few wrestling fans cared to cheer for a wrestler who dressed up like Elvis Presley. In stark contrast, when he first began his career with the World Wrestling Federation, Honky was cast as a face character. In the 1980s, there was no bigger heel in wrestling than The Honky Tonk Man. 25 is the greatest Intercontinental champion of all time, and everybody's favorite wrestling Elvis impersonator, The Honky Tonk Man.

Whether it be due to historical significance, quality of composition, or like last week's list, how unforgettably lame a song was, we're going to take a stroll down memory lane with the 25 most memorable theme songs in the storied history of World Wrestling Entertainment. Also, rather than listing only the lamest theme songs in wrestling, we're going to walk through the most memorable. This time, by popular demand, the countdown has been extended to 25 spots. Several thousand views, and almost a hundred comments later, this writer has decided to compile one more list of historic wrestling entrance music. In the top spot, which wound up being just a bit controversial, was Shawn Michaels' iconic "Sexy Boy" theme. The countdown ran through such ridiculous themes as The Big Boss Man's "Hard Time," and Dustin Rhodes' "The Natural," among others. Last week, right here at Bleacher Report, I took a detailed look at the six lamest theme songs in the history of sports entertainment.
