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

24. 1998 - Stone Cold Steve Austin

Literally the only viable choice.

It's not even a choice. It's the only acceptable entry.

The shattering glass is the ultimate pop-generator, and the Rage Against The Machine "inspired" riff just feels deadly in its construction. It chugs with a sense of danger and imminent chaos. Instilling as much fear in the opponent as electricity in the crowd, it is total aural badassery so powerful that it created a real sense of ugliness around the heightened entertainment that was everything the man did in what was wrestling's hottest ever year.
