Sometimes a theme song can make a good professional wrestler become even greater. Sure, guys like Steve Austin, The Rock and Hulk Hogan would have still been great wrestlers, but without their memorable theme songs a part of their character would be missing. The shattered glass, the If ya smell line, the rockin guitar that kicks up Real American, theyre just as important to the development of their respective owners as the catchphrases and merchandise. While there have been many great theme songs over the years that have stood the test of time, there are hundreds of other theme songs that are so generic and dull that they're quickly forgotten by just about everyone. Then there are the theme songs that are so bad, so painful to listen to, that they somehow stick to you like glue and refuse to leave. These are the worst of the worst, the songs that not only hinder a wrestlers persona, but give them an ill-fitted reputation that will last for as long as wrestling history continues to be archived. Prepare your ears, folks. These are but only ten of the most painful sounding WWE theme songs that, when heard for the first time, make you want to go into a rage. Don't say you weren't warned.
10. R-Truth
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gScV0uzvtE4 Whats up? Can you remember that line? If so, you already know how to sing 70% of R-Truths theme song. If theres a single commonality to be shared among the ten theme songs listed, its that they rely a lot on repetition. They want to sink the chorus of the song so far deep into your brain that youll be subconsciously humming the tune for weeks. Whats Up perfectly represents this aspect of wrestling theme songs. The rest of the song, which is R-Truth mumble rapping to such a degree that you cant even understand what hes saying, doesnt even matter. As long as the hook has caught the attention of the WWE Universe, its going to stick around. R-Truth recently came back to performing in WWE, and his Whats Up song hasn't changed one bit. Will we ever really know whats up with R-Truth? Probably not, but long after R-Truth has parted ways with WWE, that theme song will still be laying dormant in our minds. Then one day, when you least expect it, itll come back to life and take over your brain. Now whats up with that?
