2. 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin - I Won't Do What You Tell Me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miFifM43-r8 When the sound of glass shattering reverberates through the arena, there can be only one person coming down towards the ring: €˜Stone Cold€™ Steve Austin. Based off of the song €˜Glass Shatters€™ by American metal band Disturbed, Austin used both the instrumental and lyrical versions during his career, but the instrumental is the one fans remember more. During the second half of 2001, Austin went through several different themes, possibly due to wanting to be the €˜new Stone Cold€™, before the Invasion storyline ended and he went back to the theme that made him famous in the first place. Like many themes songs on this list, Austin€™s doesn€™t require any lyrics to make an impression. The glass shattering indicates that he€™s coming down to cause some ruckus, while the accompanying rock music reflects his overall attitude as a surly redneck who flips the bird to authority and delivers Stunners like Santa Claus delivers presents.
