A closer look
Professional wrestling's most chilling entrance didn't come from a grand symphony orchestra; it came from a cheap piece of plastic. WWE's legendary in-house composer Jim Johnston was tasked with creating a theme for The Undertaker, but all he had nearby was a battered, out-of-tune children's synthesizer. He plunked out that famous, dirge-like funeral march on the broken keys, recorded a massive church bell, and accidentally created a piece of music that would strike fear into the hearts of wrestling fans for three decades. Sometimes, legendary sports entertainment is just a guy playing around on a Fisher-Price piano.
