Villain Song/Professional Wrestling: Difference between revisions

* A semi-subversion: "Stand Back" was sung by Vince McMahon with the original intention to be used as Andre the Giant's song (and was actually used as such [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVWDcCcnlvM for a promo video] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwPVFp5ho6U in the NES Wrestlemania game]), but wound up being used for McMahon himself, who wasn't actually a villain at the time. (His on-screen persona was a face-biased announcer, nothing more) That changed a few years later, when he got a new persona and a new theme:

* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|"'Cause you've got.... NO CHANCE!"]] To quote [[Bill Simmons]]:

* As much of a douche the Miz is...his song fits the trope.

** "I came to PLAY! There's a price to pay, time for you to get down on your knees and pray. Say GOODBYE to the good ole days, they're never coming back, watch your future fade.

** "CLOTHESLINE will break your neck! The match is over and your body's a wreck. POWERSLAM will put you out! Havok and mayhem is what we're about!"

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c_QlGODXf8 Drew McIntyre's] star may have faded, but his theme fits to the T.

I make them for youuuu.'' }}

* The Honky Tonk Man: His 50s-styled themed entrance song, the narcissistic "Honky Tonk Man." [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkjRz1fQGg0 He's cool, he's cocky, he's b-b-b-b-b-b-b-baaaaaaad.]
