15 Best Instrumental Entrance Themes In WWE History
4. Jake 'The Snake' Roberts (Snake Bit)
In an era of over the top promos and gurning for the hard camera, Jake The Snake was something different. A quiet, methodical man, Roberts used his words sparingly but they cut with the precision of a surgeon’s scalpel allowing him to be the perfect foil to the more traditional stars of the time.
The man’s theme is an equal masterclass in understated brilliance. A fittingly serpentine like tempo writhing comfortably over a constant beat gives way to encompassing chord changes that sounds like the cogs whirring in Robert’s head washed clean in waves of thought and intent.
What makes this admittedly outdated production better than similar sounding tunes one might hear over Miami Vice or the A-Team is simply Robert’s way of moving. Put on this theme and you won't be running down the aisle or playing to the crowd. You will simply walk to the ring knowing you’re already one step ahead of your opponent.
