10 Fun Facts About My Trip To WWE WrestleMania XIX
8. Rollin With The Undertaker And Limp Bizkit
Any boy who grew up as a teenager in the Attitude Era will remember The Undertakers biker phase when he returned in 2000 with his Kid Rock theme music. In December of that year, The American Bad Ass started using the popular chart song, Rollin by Limp Bizkit and hed continue to use it for several years as he rode his bike to squared circles in arenas around the world.
When I found out Limp Bizkit would be in attendance at Safeco Field to perform Rollin for Takers entrance, I was very excited. I mean, if I was going to miss Lemmy sing The Game for Triple H completely out of time with the music, at least Id get to see Fred Durst doing his best to offend people.
Fred and Co performed the theme tune for that years Mania and sang it live at the event. Crack Addict was a decent tune and when youre an angry teenager, its a good fit for your personality. Ill always fondly remember that track for how much I associate it with my first WrestleMania.
Seeing The Dead Man ride out on his motorcycle with Limp Bizkit furiously screaming Rollin on the stage was a goosebumps type moment that, once again, I never though Id get to be there live for. The woman in front of us whod brought her son to the show wasnt anywhere near as impressed as I was.
In my state of hysteria as the entrance was happening, I decided to ask her/scream at her Dont you like Limp Bizkit, this is amazing?! and even though she didnt say anything, her look to me clearly said Go f*** yourself.
Good times.
