http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbFUM2cKa_8 One of wrestling's most recognizable figures is also accompanied by one of wrestling's most recognizable and iconic theme songs. Ric Flair's use of "Also sprach Zarathurstra", known for it's appearance in the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, stuck with him for over 35 years, and is forever connected to him. The theme is unlike most any other in which stood the test of time, and is a true throwback to the 70's and 80's style of entrance themes. It's slow paced, and instead of garnering a singular, huge pop towards Flair, builds towards his entire grand entrance, often accompanied by one of his signature robes. Flair's theme screams "I'm here, and I want everyone to pay attention to me," and certainly accomplishes that. Even in 2014, well after his wrestling career is over, it's identifiable to casual wrestling fans everywhere.
