10 Unnecessary WWE Details You Need To Know
9. The End Of Days Song Was Jim Johnston's Last WWE Theme
If there's an old school WWE theme song that you hold particularly dear to your heart, then there's a pretty good chance the mighty Jim Johnston was behind it.
Helping forge everything from Kurt Angle's epic "You Suck!" tune, to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's absolutely iconic glass smash and "I Won't Do What You Tell Me" rumble, Johnston had one hell of a successful hit rate. However, the long-time WWE composer was ultimately released in 2017, bringing the end to his days creating unquestionable wrestling music magic.
So, it was somewhat appropriate that Johnston's final WWE theme came in the form of Baron Corbin's "The End of Days" banger. And according to the mind behind the tune himself, the song possessed quite a few layers, with Jim's anger at many of his ideas being squashed by the company around the time and his eventual bowing out of the promotion both being present in Corbin's epic theme.
It's safe to say the various pieces of often forgettable music accompanying the current generation of full-time performers nowadays hasn't been anywhere near the level of the sort of instant classic routinely churned out by the mighty Johnston.
