10 Iconic Sounds In Wrestling
7. The Opening Notes Of "Real American"
Eight notes. That's all it took to bring audiences to their feet in the '80s as a wrestling icon emerged from the curtain and stormed toward the ring in a flurry of trademarked arm motions. Those eight notes were the drumbeat of the most famous wrestling theme in history, a smattering of adrenaline shots straight into the pleasure centers of the brain, a war cry to rally all the little Hulkamaniacs to support their balding golden idol. Eight simple notes signified the exact moment cartoons would come to life before your eyes, giants would be toppled, and the good guys would triumph. If your wrestling childhood had a soundtrack, this was the first track.
