15 Greatest Jim Johnston WWE Themes

8. Kurt Angle - "Medal"

"Medal" absolutely bleeds the red, white, and blue of Old Glory, so it won't come as any surprise to learn that it was previously used for the ultra-patriotic, er, Patriot, as well as rehabilitated Iraqi turncoat Sgt. Slaughter (at D-Generation X: In Your House). If Johnston had been around during Hulkamania, you can bet Hulk Hogan would have claimed this theme too, leaving "Real American" to the U.S. Express after all.

Of all its airings, it's best suited to Olympic hero Angle, possessing just the right amount of obnoxiousness to go with that flag-waving fervour. The fan-modded "you suck" lyrics were added years later.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
