10 Candidates For WWE Hall Of Fame 2016 Warrior Award

10. Jim Johnston

When you think of the greatest WWE superstars of all-time, what are some of the components that make them so memorable? Surely their look, their work, and their promos are on the list, but equally important is their entrance and, specifically, their entrance music. While the performers behind the characters are responsible for the majority of what goes into making them what they are, the one area that they are not in full control of is the music they come out to. This is where Jim Johnston comes in and is why he is absolutely deserving of the Warrior's version of an award that celebrates the company's unsung backstage heroes. The music composer has been employed by Vince McMahon since the birth of WrestleMania in 1984. It is possible that Johnston's biggest impact has been on the lives of WWE fans, when considering the amount of years he has worked for the company and the amount of iconic, memorable, inspiring, and heart-pumping theme songs he has composed for the biggest names in WWE history. Johnston's known throughout the industry and to loyal, longtime WWE fans, but he deserves a brighter spotlight and a grander stage, one that the 2016 WWE Hall Of Fame provides.
