Steve Austin 1st "Ringmaster"

[augamon]

this song is underrated 

[andross637]

AWFUL quality.

[fred805805]

Kind of sounds like Chris Masters theme for a bit

[SharksRule86]

This would've been the perfect theme for Mankind.

[meecenator25]

This theme should have more credence than what it has. You know your in trouble if you hear that "Glass Shattering" theme.

But this one has its own form of intimidation on its own. A lot more than the Rich Bitch version of HHH.

[TheDisenherited1]

the ropemove is called the stungun....

[djscrewlicious357]

@jmann229 no

[silvernaut2]

I liked the ring master gimmick, but stone cold was better

[newstart2c]

i remember him back in the days of wcw .. stunning steve austin with some kind of snake eyes finisher from the rope even in his wcw days he was impressive

[kingrc69]

@newstart2c

wasnt it a stun gun into the ropes?

[newstart2c]

@kingrc69 its had many names.. someone else used it and called it snake eyes ... but if i can remember wcw banned the move and it banned anyone being thrown over the top rope which was strange

[DanielH8Club]

@kingrc69 A flapjack onto the top rope, guillotining their neck

[bigdaddytort]

"Ringmaster sucked! I knew that, but it was g-- damn foot in the door!" - Stone Cold Steve Austin.

[TheJmp187]

He won the king of the ring with this theme and thats cool as shit

[songotenz02]

Nothing like the million dollar dream....hahahaaaha

[joejoe1758]

Austin YOU are TRULY THE RINGMASTER!!!! Ohhh HELLL YEAHHH!!!!

[aas8]

this theme rules! i wish someone would use it today!

[KADG81]

It sounds like a mix betwen Natalya's theme and Mankind's theme

[MrWWEThemeSongs1]

Funeral Song :P

[erickosuave1]

kinda sounds like a theme mankind could of used

[sweetsour55]

Is it me, or does anyone think this theme is similar to Chris Master's theme?

[SpeakingOfWrestling]

This was back when Austin had hair, which around the same time Jesus was born

[Rebelionichigo]

Not 1st

[MephProduction]

@Rebelionichigo first in the wwf/wwe

[Rebelionichigo]

@MephProduction No The First Was Million $ Rap

[MephProduction]

@Rebelionichigo Nope.. that wasn't 'his' theme that was Money Inc or the Million dollar corporation/Ted's theme.. just because he came out to it once or twice doesn't mean anything, in fact he really came out to the money theme.. i only recall the once when he was first introduced.. so not Money was not his theme.

[The80srox]

@MephProduction Yes it was his 1st WWF theme. If he used it during his debut on the Brother Love Show and his in ring debut (as well as using it once or twice after his official in ring debut), then it was his 1st WWF theme. The Ringmaster theme would technically be his 2nd WWF theme

[MephProduction]

@The80srox nope thats incorrect.. as i said Money was Ted's theme, Austin didn't have a theme so naturally when Ted introduced him they used 'money' (like Teds son) just because someone users a theme it dones't make it theres.. and Austin hardly came out to the money theme.. It was never his theme music.

[AceDagger1]

@MephProduction Yes it was his first theme. Ringmaster was his second theme (which he debuted at Royal Rumble '96)

[MephProduction]

@AceDagger1  nope Ringmater was HIS FIRST. 'Money inc' wasn't his theme, its ted's theme.

I

[AceDagger1]

@MephProduction Nope. If he came out to Money Inc for singles matches, which he did more than once, then Money Inc would indeed be his first WWF theme

[MephProduction]

@AceDagger1 using a theme doesn't make it his. Thats the point none of you can understand.

The money rap was always Teds theme and the theme of the corporation, not the individual members who each had there own theme anyway, how often they were used is another matter but they each had one. It's not hard to understand.

[Fartingbellybutton]

@AceDagger1 He Still used this theme even after DiBiase left the WWE and Then Austin changed it in October of 1996.

[AceDagger1]

@Fartingbellybutton I know that

[MrHellohel]

he looks like garrison cade

[ESSJ333]

i loved this theme it reminds of king of the ring 96

[The80srox]

@jmann229 The good ol' days, and you could do the same thing with porn then lol

[xvVIPERMANxv]

sounds like the Montreal Screwjob

[Gh0sT187]

this sounds like a theme mankind could have used or some type of mysterious wrestler like taker kane or mankind

[darkblade8910]

dude I can't believe how much different he looks now lol

[DaManzMoney]

@darkblade8910 Well it was 20 years ago thats like u being 30 now ur 50 its a huge difference

[ROSSATRON89]

I like this music. Obviously its nowhere near as good as the Glass Shattering. He used it when he won the King of the Ring in 1996 and it suited him... just as he was becoming the Bad Ass we all love today! Only one Stone Cold Steve Austin!

[slayemdown]

ringmaster is the worst name giving 2 steve williams aka austin stone cold is much better

[Fartingbellybutton]

If Triple H won The King Of The Ring 1996 and not Austin, Austin would still be using this theme song.

[topdinero]

@Fartingbellybutton if Owen hart didn't died hhh could never be the game..

[mferrell9105]

@topdinero well i wouldn't say that triple h is very talented plus hes banging the boss's daughter lol but if owen had lived no doubt he would be a multiple time world's champion by now

[topdinero]

@mferrell9105 yeah..

[Philster1991]

Stone cold still use this theme till Late Oct 96.

[Hellhammerabadon]

Looks like a RPG's boss theme.

[rhyno4eva]

*breaks glass* *song plays* me: wait WTF?? wait...maybe its audioswap....nope....WHAT!!??

[DarthCipient]

It's interesting (to me at least) that both Undertaker and Steve Austin were brought (in terms of storyline) into the WWF by Ted DiBiase

[BILLETH]

Ted DiBiase has the Midas Touch, we'll see when Ted Jr breaks out on his own!

[NYRyder1983]

@DarthCipient Let's see if his own son could rise in the WWE like these 2 legends have.

[thextreme05]

@DarthCipient umm brother love brought Undertaker in to the WWF... in terms of storyline. Ted DeBiase brought back the Undertaker later which of course was the fake Undertaker played by Chains from DOA.

[DarthCipient]

@thextreme05 No, the Million Dollar Man brought the Undertaker into the WWF with Brother Love as his manager. Undertaker was the mystery team member on Dibiase's team for Survivor Series 1990

[owaisinus]

kind of a suspense movie theme... stone cold looked so different at that time... I think his character of ringmaster would have been better than stone cold

[BeverlyHills2ndGen]

Yeah, it actually suited him for a while even after he became Stone Cold

Search for "King of the Ring 1996" when he started the Stone Cold gimmick and he was still using this theme, it fit very well.

[gorf28]

this music would have suited austin when he was heel as stone cold, in the alliance.

[shavrenham]

I love this theme even now.

[dullKnife]

this proves million dollar man got eyes for talent

[benzo560]

@dullKnife how many WCW execs are still kicking themselves?

[2canvandam]

@benzo560

One -- Eric Bischoff

[AristideLimIII]

@dullKnife he even got eyes for undertaker too hehehe!

[gavman21734]

@dullKnife if u mean that in a real life not really but if u ment it in a er errrrr oh forget it go drink beer and whoop some ass dude oh hell yeah!!!

[TheDisenherited1]

@dullKnife austin, the deadman, irs? who else?

[JBSchmoov]

ringmaster austin used this theme even into the stone cold gimmick. i believe he didn't debut with the "hell frozen over" theme until an 'in your house' PPV against hunter hearst helmsley.

[jka12002redux]

true, although this theme did fit the "Stone Cold" phase for a brief time

[theinstantvincent]

Right, that was in fall of 1996.

[AbidsMusic]

Mordecai

[gypsyking008]

it sound like sting song

[Matt561]

Horrible gimmick awesome theme

[theinstantvincent]

Exactly.

[unloksouls1]

this theme is so epic for austin, but creepy. i almost thought it would be for someone like mankind or kane.

[JohnNPG]

that's cool!! this shows the other side of Stone Cold Steve Austin!!

[RinaKasakura]

Almost thought it was the origins of Chris Masters's theme ^.^;;

[jcashtr02]

0:29 - favorite part of this song

[jlfahrer]

Nah. Goldusts theme suits him fine (mysterious and a little flashy). This theme is intimidating (which they NEEDED to have for Austin after his disaster in WCW). His debut was somewhat comical and Austin didn't want that. He did a total 180 with this theme.

[ioratiskrishserhetai]

95 or 96

[Tarbars]

the piano is so epic, this would definately be my theme, i'd use it as a wrestler and find a way to make it work.

[fiercer1234]

no one cares

[HorrorUniverse]

Nobody cares you silly little bastard.

[americanbadass4568]

see the difference between 'I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME' AND 'RINGMASTER'....lol

[maikutx]

The theme of Chilly McFreeze!

Or perhaps Ice Dagger.

[jlfahrer]

Or Otto Von Ruthless

[AshBloodfire]

I believe it was Baron Von Ruthless.

[jlfahrer]

You sure? I'll check that UK interview he did back in '07 just to make sure.

[augamon]

very underated song imo

[CloroxDoll]

Steve is still hot but back then he was at his hottest. He was in better shape and that crew cut was sexy.

[americanbadass4568]

r u a girl?cloroxdoll?

[Matt561]

His goal was to be the biggest asshole and the most hated wrestler ever in the wwe. To quote Steve "I guess that backfired" lol yea I think so.

[theinstantvincent]

@Matt561 I guess it did!

[SCD999]

@Matt561 also tried to make orton the biggest asshole in wwe and that failed as well. you'd think with this kind of record that wwe would turn cena heel for a couple of years, make him the most hated heel ever then everyone would start cheering him

[ultimatewarrior87]

@Matt561 we have to thank jake the sanke ' because whean he got hurt at the 96 King of the ring jake cut a religious promo on him & whean Austin got back Michael Hayes told hm ' & won he won thats whean he sadie you sit there & you thump you'r Bible & you say you'r prayers & it didn't you any where talk about you'r songs talk about you'r John 3:16 ' Austin 3:16 sadie i just whooped you'r ass then the next on raw fans had the Austin 3:16 signs

[2canvandam]

@ultimatewarrior87

You also have to thank HHH and the MSG incident or it would've been Hunter who won RR96 and got this push

[The80srox]

@2canvandam It was KOTR 96, not the Royal Rumble. And you don't have to thank HHH for anything cuz Austin was a star regardless

[2canvandam]

@2canvandam Sorry my bad dunno where i got RR and i was talkin bout the Austin 3:16, without facing Jake ther wouldnt have been this shoot to main event status overnight..n

[y2jbrock]

classic

[HitMan1263]

i remember he had this the first time he won king of the ring

[OfExecution]

Yeah men scary moment, he also had this theme at WrestleMania XII. The time that Stone Cold needed to be frozen in.

[jct876]

where can i find this and his other to put it on my ipod? limewire doesnt have them

[reymysterios9]

hahah his 3:16 rattlesnake gimmick makes this gimmick look like pussy shit

[LetMeEnlightenYou]

Austin? Wow if it wasn't for his facial features, you'd think he was someone else! He's a little more built too....

[liltd87]

he looks like a 22 year old Finlay with a crew cut

[ace200599]

I dont recall this theme being this epic when I as 7 but it is now

[liltd87]

i agree. this reminds me of mankind's first theme mixed with a little more psychotic feeling to it!

[xobrentox]

This song was awesome, thanks for posting!

[sicknessstilllives]

you rock for putting this up.

[theinstantvincent]

Either way, he originally wanted to portray a serial-killer inspired wrestler... then the fans started liking him.

[Damon089]

Stone Cold looked so different as The Ringmaster.

[JRPLD3]

fantasy match:

Ringmaster Steve Austin vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin

impossible, but it would be a good storyline considering the gimmicks of these characters

[Vlaydex]

stone cold steve austin would whoop the ringmaster's ass and thats the bottom line!

[chriskolinek]

this theme is badass but the ringmaster sucked.

[pardeepsoora]

Jobber

[travisrashawn216]

this song suits for Darth Vader

[theinstantvincent]

This was when he was playing a serial killer inspired wrestler. So it fit. (Not a killer, but cold-blooded).

[nyy4288]

this music reminds me of nazi germany

[jlfahrer]

How would you know what nazi germany was like unless you're over age 70?

[Ominous245]

he means it reminds him of the types of music played on documentries of nazi germany you fuckin jackoff.

[jlfahrer]

That's a documentary theme, not the theme of Nazi German YOU fucking jackoff.

[Aznar245]

@jlfahrer I never said it was bitch face.. it sounded nazi like..

[Ominous245]

sounds sad and tragic. like the type of music played for the 9/11 tributes or of somebody dying.

[dark3rbol]

It sounds like some hospital show's theme music.

[hydra555]

Good Theme but the ringmaster gimmick sucked

[powerade619]

Everytime I hear this song it reminds me of wrestlemania 12 wen rowdy piper and goldust were in a car chase cos it was on in da background haha

[AGThelilPimp69]

Yeah same here. This theme was the shit

[undertaker210]

sounds like sycho sids or mankinds theme but overall this theme is badass

[nyr36]

This theme is 10 times better than his junk theme we're all used to.

[jcashtr02]

I actually liked this music

[Doink1981]

Me too

[obsessedwithgoku]

me too but the only thing is it didn't suit his redneck character.

[SPJAG07]

KIND OF SOUNDS LIKE GOLDBERG'S THEME.

[devilknowsyou]

Damnit, Austin looks dangerous with that crew cut. A lot of people are bashing this "Ringmaster" gimmick. The name sucked alright, but the "no nonsense, take no names" gimmick fits Austin like a glove....not as good as Stone Cold though. I miss him and Rocky, the best times in WWE.

[jlfahrer]

The Ringmaster character was more like Austin's "Stunning Steve" gimmick in WCW where he was more like the early 90s Shawn Michaels (Brian Kendrick and John Morrison) now. He still used this theme while being called Stone Cold though. He just never talked while DiBiase managed him.

[wweandrockyfigures]

it sounds like wot they used for the boss on resident evil

[whysoserious89]

sounds like music thatd be used for a boss on resident evil

[SickBoysCure]

Sounds like something from a murder mystery.

[TNAChampion]

I'm looking for Steve Austin's WCW Threme song.

[jlfahrer]

Try "Stunning Steve Austin theme" for his first theme. Then "Hollywood Blondes theme" is the other one he used for the rest of his WCW tenure.

[TNAChampion]

THANKS!

[jlfahrer]

His ECW theme is also up too (Steve Austin ECW theme).

[KyleHerrington]

Where can I get the Ringmaster theme? I would (almost) kill for it.

[kity49]

Since When Stone Cold Become The First Ever Million Dollar Champion?

[jlfahrer]

He was brought into WWE as The Ringmaster and was managed by Ted DiBiase. In the storyline leading up to his debut, DiBiase was searching for someone worthy enough to carry the recently revived Million Dollar Championship. Watch the Steve Austin debut clip. The one on the Brother Love Show.
