The Complete A-Z Of The Undertaker

20. G - Graveyard Symphony

Though adjusted slightly from the chilling organ and strings original and knocked completely loopy during the chaotic Attitude Era, the Graveyard Symphony theme that has accompanied The Undertaker to ringside is almost iconic as the man himself.

Assisted perfectly by the atmospheric gong that signals his arrival and the arena lights dropping, the funeral march tune sits in perfect harmony with the performer it has welcomed for nearly three decades.

It's another credit to the solid foundations from which the character was built that the same rough arrangement has endured for his entire run and will remain inexorably linked to the persona forever.
