The Undertaker is the master of changing theme songs with 11 different tunes on record since his 1990 debut, and that's not even mentioning the incredible amount of variations. But arguably the best of them all - excluding the Chopin funeral march-based tracks - is Johnny Cash's rendition of Ain't No Grave.

First performed by Claude Ely in 1934, the song has been covered multiple times over the years, but none did the tune justice more than Johnny Cash in his version released seven years after his death.

As The Dead Man, 'Taker's theme songs have sent chills down the spines of WWE Universe members thanks to their heightened tone. Ain't No Grave, which was used predominantly for his encounter with Triple H at WrestleMania XXVII, offered a different sensation.

The smooth, soft nature of the tune sung by the man in the twilight of his life created an eerie, sombre environment in a stadium filled with over 70,000 people, almost like the calm before the storm.
