15 Best Instrumental Entrance Themes In WWE History
5. Bret Hart (Hitman)
The screeching guitar, those building drums and that famous biting riff were all responsible for countless goose bumps over the years, and helped make Bret Hart a true superstar. In truth, Hart’s theme is rather simple, a steady drum beat and a repeating riff with a synthesiser and reverb effect on the lead guitar gave it an undeniable '80s charm that somehow manages to still sound amazing to this day.
The trademark explosion of sound at the beginning of the theme is a popular trope in WWE. You see it with the likes of Stone Cold, The Rock, Vader, and The Undertaker to name a few. It allows the fans to pop before the actual theme guides the superstars down the ramp and into the ring. Hart’s music is an unashamed anthem with a cold callousness, unwavering in the face of polarising fan reaction. It acts as a true garnish of character for the otherwise stoic Hart and is the fitting theme for a wrestling machine and industry icon.
