Exposing The Myth: Pre-nWo WCW Was Trash

7. The Utterly Amazing Entrance Themes

Pre-nWo WCW was nothing if not revolutionary when it came to the entrance themes given to so many wrestlers of the day.

There had previously been rare occasions over the years where wrestlers had used actual songs with actual lyrics - Hulk Hogan and Real American being the prime example - to make their way to the ring, but WCW was groundbreaking in how the company purposely put together proper songs with lyrics for a whole host of the promotion's top stars. And not just that, but so many of these songs were complete and utter bangers!

With so many of these songs having been written and produced by Michael P.S. Hayes and a fella called Jimmy Papa, the music of early '90s WCW has yet to be bettered to this day. From Sting, to 2 Cold Scorpio, to Dustin Rhodes, to The Steiner Brothers, to Ron Simmons, and so many more, Hayes and Papa served up some right tunes.

Of course, none of these fantastic musical numbers come even close to matching the brilliance of Rick Rude's Simply Ravishing theme - which has been included here for your aural pleasure.

Were some of these tracks a little too on the nose with their actual lyrics? For sure. But despite lyrics such as "he does this, he does that, he's big as bull and quick as a cat," that doesn't stop something like A Man Called Sting from being ridiculously catchy.

Even in the entrance tracks that featured no vocals, there are some legendary offerings, with Ricky Steamboat, The Hollywood Blondes, and The Dangerous Alliance having entrance songs that you'll be humming for hours on end.
