19. Jake 'The Snake' Roberts - Snake Bit

You would think that a guy whose nickname is €˜the Snake€™ would have something involving snakes in his entrance music. But no; Jake€™s entrance music, €˜Snake Bit€™ is a very different sound, especially when compared to the rock-heavy themes that permeated the WWF in the 1980s. That said, this theme just screams €˜1980s, with a synth sound void of any vocals. Jake Roberts didn€™t need any vocals in his music to get his point across; his whole gimmick was about being a master t psychology and manipulating his opponents€™ mindsets. Despite changing his theme during his early 1990s run, this is the theme that most people associate with Jake Roberts. It was such a good fit for him that he honestly would€™ve been better off keeping it throughout his entire WWF run, instead of changing it part-way through to something forgettable.
