Sean Waltman Names Favorite Theme Song; Reveals He Chose Uncle Kracker Theme Over Red Hot Chili Peppers
X-Pac talks theme songs.
Sean Waltman has entered many packed arenas to some of the most iconic and, in some cases, some of the most infamous theme songs in wrestling history. However, he now reveals that he never liked his singles theme song for his run as X-Pac.
During a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, X-Pac revealed that his favorite theme song is the one that was remixed for D-Generation X by Run DMC.
“A lot of people tell me they like the X-Pac theme. I never did. My all-time favorite is the Run DMC remix. So good,” Waltman said.
In his X Factor theme, “What’Chu Lookin’ At” by Uncle Kracker, Waltman reveals that it was his decision to have Uncle Kracker perform his theme song.
Waltman also says he turned down the option of having the Red Hot Chili Peppers perform his theme song when it was pitched to him by Shane McMahon.
“That was my idea. Not necessarily that song,” he revealed. “Shane McMahon comes up to me, and they’re trying. They’re trying with me. He goes, ‘Hey, we’re thinking about having Red Hot Chili Peppers do your new theme music.’ I go, ‘No, I want Uncle Kracker.
“I was the one that picked Uncle Kracker because we knew him, and that’s just kind of how I was at the time,” he added.
Waltman also says he doesn’t understand why people didn’t like the Uncle Kracker theme song.
“I thought it was good, actually,” he admits. “I’m not going to lie. I’m not going to go, ‘Yeah, I could see why people –‘ No. I don’t understand what the fuck there was to hate.”
While the Red Hot Chili Peppers would never perform anyone’s theme song, their song, “Snow (Hey Oh),” was one of the theme songs for WrestleMania 24 in 2008.
Theme songs aside, Waltman says he is still training and believes he could still do well in another match. Learn more at this link.
