10 Wrestlers Who Performed Their Own Theme Songs

7. Know Your Role - The Rock

Do you smell what The Rock is cooking?

Professional wrestling is the perfect medium for epic characters to emerge. From the eerie nature of The Undertaker to the unlikely, troubled Mankind, wrestling always gives fans something different, and in the winter of 1996, on Monday Night Raw, fans were gifted a performer who is, quite possibly, the greatest of all time.

The Rock is the most electrifying, must-see superstar to ever grace the squared circle, with his unrelenting charisma always providing moments that stay with fans long after the cameras cut.

From 1999-2001, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was accompanied by a theme song that was immediately recognisable. Johnson's own vocals are featured, though it's lyrics are somewhat limited, and the yearning electric guitar takes centre stage throughout.

Know Your Role simply oozes style and helped to cement The Rock's legacy with the company in a time when it was blessed with some of its best-ever performers.

In 1999, only a few dedicated fans knew what The Rock was cooking. Some 23 years later, billions across the world now know the man who began his career as the baby-faced, clean-cut Rocky Maivia.
