10 Absolutely RIDICULOUS Wrestling Theme Lyrics

5. Rey Mysterio - 619

SELF MADE

There's something very, gleefully 1990s about Rey Mysterio's first WWE theme, in both its throwback hip-hop jam and utterly naff lyrics.

Which moves do you immediately associate with the spectacular aerial artist Rey Mysterio? The tilt-a-whirl headscissors takedown? The diving hurricanrana? The west coast pop?

According to '619', the diminutive Rey Mysterio, who uses his speed and daredevil agility to counteract the strength of his opponents, actually puts them away with a 'mean body slam'. This regulation move doesn't merely put his rivals on their back; it is confirmation that d*mn, they are 'whack'. And, even though this move dates back decades, and has been deployed on countless occasions throughout those decades, its application is designed to bamboozle his opponents:

'You're like, 'What the heck'?

Whomever wrote these rhymes doesn't actually know how to rhyme; using the word 'out' on less than four occasions in the opening verse, in a deployment of that famous AAAA rhyming structure, the songsmith then delivers something unbelievably sh*tty.

'Mr. Mysterious* is serious / And he gets furious and delirious / And everybody's curious'

*Just be grateful Vince McMahon didn't order that name change.
