Ranking What Was Really The Best Wrestling Entrance Theme Every Year 1990-2021

20. 2002 - Brock Lesnar

Incredibly basic, but who needs a guitar solo when you can just knee some poor c*nt in the gut to get the job done?

The opening warped guitar squall is a unique take on the sting because it doesn't invite a pop but instead elicits a change in mood. Dread plummets in the stomach, and the riff isn't so much a riff but a war march. It's the sound of a machine primed to rip somebody's throat out. There's a strange and pointless record scratch that is very much of its time, but put it down to Lesnar's mischievous quality or something.

It hardly matters; you hear this, and you know instantly that somebody is figgidy-f*cked.
