10 Wrestlers Who Performed Their Own Theme Songs
2. What's Up - R-Truth
Sharing a name, and nothing else, with the epic tune by 4 Non Blondes, R Truth's theme starts with a bang, and perfectly encapsulates the character's unwavering intensity.
Truth's raspy voice is paired with a 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'-ish melody, and the repetition that occurs through its opening stages makes it a theme tune that lends itself so beautifully to crowd participation, which is great, as R-Truth is a performer that works so well in front of an audience.
Somehow, 'What's Up' really works, and when the character opted to not use music at all during his most successful run with the WWE, it was sorely missed. The change surely helped skyrocket R-Truth's stock in the company, as it showed his character's distaste for anything that wasn't his own interests, but the tune was so synonymous with the North Carolina-born wrestler, that it made a return not long after.
Truth's unique voice comes to the forefront during his stellar microphone moments in the ring, but the way it reverberates across the arena in his entrance theme is something that will stay with fans for a long time after the event ends.
