“People Don’t Realize..”: The Undertaker Explains the Mindset Behind His Iconic Entrance That Gave People Goosebumps

The first impression is the last impression. An individual with an outstanding personality and a confident walk is likely to get noticed. Unfortunately, we can’t add background music like in movies every time we walk into a room with a bunch of strangers.

But sports personalities, especially pro wrestlers, get the opportunity to stand apart when they make an entrance. The entrance music in pro wrestling is a common thing. The first music note of their favorite superstar is enough to get the fans hyped for their entrance. Recently, the superstar with one of the most epic entrance theme songs of all time also explained the importance of music in pro wrestling.

The Undertaker has entertained the pro wrestling world for almost 3 decades before retiring in 2020. Major credit for the success of his gimmick goes to his entrance music which matched his character. Calaway has switched between several entrance songs in his career, but his ‘Rest In Peace’ song would always be remembered as the iconic theme song.

You knew what was coming.”
