Wrestling and music are a strange mix. On one hand, theme songs greatly help out a wrestlers character and aura. Can you even imagine Hulk Hogan these days without Real American or The Undertaker with his funeral theme? On the other hand, wrestlers sometimes get it into their heads that they are capable of making music on their own in their free time. In nearly every single case in human history this has been a bad idea. Believe it or not, this mistake happens time and time again. Were talking decades here! Wrestlers are talented in their own way, but they often try to stretch themselves into new avenues that dont really work out so well. Sure, Hollywood actors like Bruce Willis, Eddie Murphy and Don Johnson have all released albums, but that doesnt mean they were any good either. Those efforts have usually been the punchline to a joke. Some lessons, though, are never learned. Why do wrestlers keep trying to sing and let the general public hear? Why can't they just be happy with the level of celebrity they already have? The world may never know. Still, its still kind of fun to revel in some wrestling song awfulness from time to time. This is one of those times. So put on your favorite pair of headphones and get ready to rock! Or cry. Actually yeah, crying is much more likely to happen after listening to these.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
