#3 “Crossing Borders” - Rey Mysterio (No Way Out 2004)
It was a fitting song for the show since it was the night Eddie Guerrero would challenge, and ultimately defeat, Brock Lesnar to win the WWE Undisputed Championship. The song comes from the WWE Originals album. If you don’t remember it, feel lucky. The album featured a number of songs, all sung by the wrestlers themselves. Check them out on YouTube if you are a true glutton for punishment.

Some of the songs were so bad that they were good, a couple were actually pretty okay, a few were intentionally dumb and ended up being great (Kurt Angle’s “I Don’t Suck” for example), but then there was “Crossing Borders”. Rey Mysterio tried (I assume) very hard to rap in English and Spanish, and it sucked both ways. Honestly, it’s just a bad song. There’s no soul to it.
Rey sounds bored, the music is generic and repeats on a short loop and the lyrics are, just like the rest of the song, extremely generic. It’s not an okay song, it’s not “so bad it’s good”, it’s just a really bad song that we should probably stop talking about. And it was the theme for one of the most historic title changes of the last two decades.
