The top 30 greatest pro wrestling entrances of all time
By Matt Black
28. Kane
Greatest entrance:
Event: WWE Badd Blood: In Your House
Date: October 5, 1997
Venue: Enterprise Center, St. Louis, MO
Theme Used: “Burned” by Jim Johnston
Coming in at No. 28, it’s the younger brother of the Undertaker, The Big Red Machine himself. In the words of the great Jim Ross, “that’s gotta be … THAT’S GOTTA BE KANE!”
Kane debuted his entrance with the WWE in the biggest way possible, alongside Paul Bearer and interfering in the first ever Hell in a Cell match between Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker at WWE Badd Blood: In Your House in October of 1997, costing Undertaker the victory in the process and helping the Heartbreak Kid win the match.
His entrances throughout the years in WWE only seemed to get better as his character evolved and changed his looks. Although he had many variations of his entrance theme over the years, one of the most memorable came from the WWE Forceable Entry soundtrack. A rock version of his theme with words, titled “Slow Chemical” from Finger Eleven. This is arguably the most popular theme from his entire run with the company.
Whether it was the lights, the music, the heat from his fiery pyro or just the way the overall entrance made you feel, you certainly remember every time the Big Red Machine made his way towards the ring in the Attitude Era and beyond. Whether we have seen that entrance for the last time is uncertain.
