Andrew McGregorHOST
And I don't know about y'all, but that was a kickass entrance theme.
Andrew McGregorHOST
And on "The Self-Destruction of The Ultimate Warrior" DVD, [lips smack] Vince McMahon said himself that he went to the music producer at the time, Jim Johnston, who in my opinion, WWE should have never gotten rid of because he came up with incredible entrance music for so many different wrestlers.
Andrew McGregorHOST
But McMahon did say that he remembered going up to Jim and describing the character of The Ultimate Warrior and about his intensity and his frenetic energy.
Andrew McGregorHOST
And without missing a beat, McMahon said, and I quote, "And Jim wrote music that absolutely captured all of that." And I got to agree with McMahon.
