It’s simple but, boy, is it effective. The iconic bass riff will make every wrestling fan want to replicate Austin’s bad-ass walk to the ring and hold two middle fingers in the air.

As for the start, many wrestlers have recognisable and crowd-popping beginnings to their themes, but nothing sounds the fans into a frenzy quicker than Austin’s glass shattering.

Austin’s music has made audiences erupt on countless occasions, and while that is a reflection of Stone Cold’s popularity in the business, it is also proof of just how incredible Jim Johnston was at finding a theme that fit a performer perfectly.

This list is just a small percentage of Johnston’s amazing work and I’m sure I’ve missed some of your personal favourites, so why not join the conversation in the comments below and tell us your most-loved Jim Johnston wrestling themes?
