Jim Johnston’s 20 Greatest WWE Creations

8. The Undertaker - Dark Side/Ministry Theme

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPjqAADShE4 This is a perfect combination of the ominous funereal theme traditionally associated with the Undertaker character and the rock and aggression associated with the Attitude Era. Beginning with the Undertaker€™s signature gong and accompanies by Taker speaking what sounds like some occult language, it combines the heaviness of the Attitude Era€™s rock-oriented theme with the classic, orchestra-based sounds that accompanied the Undertaker before the Ministry was born. Unfortunately, this theme wasn€™t played as much as his others; soon after the Ministry fell apart, Undertaker disappeared for a number of months, before returning as The American Badass, ditching the macabre and ominous music that had been part of his gimmick for years. He wouldn€™t return to the Deadman gimmick until 2004, and that was under another theme. Many fans listen to this theme with fond nostalgia, as it encapsulates the Undertaker€™s darkest, and possibly most outlandish, period, but it is nonetheless one of Jim Johnston€™s true masterpieces.
