 And his name is John Cena! Pro wrestling has and always will be an undeniable part of pop culture. And while some internet trolls revel in riling up us fans, by calling wrestling fake, trash or mid, if they would take the time to touch grass and move out of their parents' basement, the facts can't be denied. Nowadays, wrestling is as much a part of the mainstream society than it's ever been before. The social influence of many wrestlers and even their entrance music have passed beyond the multiverse. So much so that some have even gone viral. But which ones were they? Alright perhaps I'm a teensy bit biased seeing as how I just got the chance to meet the living legends in person. But let me explain. So there's this account on Twitter called Undead Media. And the person or persons behind it have started a video campaign to try and get Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler to follow them. And the route that they've taken to get the attention of the top guys is by mashing together rather goofy but gut-busting clips from movies, TV shows and other viral memes of people dancing to FTR's Midnight Express inspired entrance theme. Yeah I know that sounds outrageously stupid to say it out loud, but I guarantee ya that you'll lull at the sight and sounds of Jean-Claude Van Damme in the 1989 movie kickboxer busting a move to the smooth synthwave remix of the Midnight's original theme created by AEW's musical maestro Mikey Ruckus. But wait, there's more because it's a beautiful sight to behold watching others like Christopher Walken, Pee Wee Herman and even the little superstar Cutta-Rug to this juicy pseudo Jim Crockett promotion's jam. To be honest I really hope that Dax and Cash never follow this account because the content that they're coming up with is just too sweet. So you gotta go check them out on the bird app when you get the chance, but preferably after you watch this entire video of course. Cody Rhodes has used Downstate's Kingdom as his entrance music in AEW, Impact Wrestling, Ring of Honor, New Japan, other various indies and now the WWE, going all in on himself as an elite performer, the grandson of a plumber and the son of a common man tapped the band Downstate to craft a tune that conveyed not only the historical importance of the classic Rhodes family name, but also for someone that has spent the majority of their life in the shadow of their father and also perhaps even their older brother. But right now there is no denying that Cody Rhodes is hotter than Hansel. The saga of Cody's free agency, which was also the worst kept secret in pro wrestling, was a whirlwind of conflicting information in early 2022 that ultimately contributed to enduring levels of buzz for the man who once compared himself to an unwanted woody from Toy Story. The Prince of Pro-Wrestling's daring dash away from Vince McMahon's wrestling empire in 2016 was exactly what the Coatster needed to build up his brand so that one day the prodigal son might return to the Promised Land and earn top dollar. And when he made his triumphant return at WrestleMania 38 with his overall presentation including this theme intact, The American Nightmare Went Viral. It's embarrassing to say this, but Real American is one of the most recognizable songs in American pop culture history. Written and performed by guitar rock god Rick Derringer, the song was originally assigned to the extremely patriotic theme tag team of Barry Windham and Mike Rotundo, aka the U.S. Express. However, Big Barry and Captain Mike left the WWF in December 1985 and Real American became the revolutionary force behind the sports entertainment pop culture phenomenon known as Hulkamania. A lot of this song's appeal is that sound that makes people really nostalgic. However, nowadays it's developed more into a meme, a parody of buffoonish patriotism with some incredibly cheesy lines. But let's not forget this driving anthem along with the Hulkster's popularity helped catapult what was once a fringe sport firmly onto the national stage. Ben Hogan used the tune everywhere he went. More recently, Real American has become a politician's best friend on the campaign trail, being used in political TV ads across the nation as the primary campaign song for Hillary Clinton and Newt Gingrich and as the soundtrack to an All-American video when Barack Obama unveiled his birth certificate at the 2011 White House Correspondence Dinner, which at this point has garnered more than 10 million hits on YouTube. Really put, Real American is locked and loaded into the lexicon of the United States and not even a sex scandal could cause the song's popularity to come crashing down. Speaking of politics, former US President Donald Trump's connection to the WWE goes way back to the 1980s with the Donald hosting back-to-back Wrestlemania's at his Trump Plaza and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Outside of the pro wrestling world, the McMahon family and the Trumps are also close friends. Linda McMahon was even part of the Trump administration during his one and done White House term. And let's not forget to mention the Battle of the Billionaires. But even now, the celebrity inductee of the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2013 continues his connection with an unusual choice of entrance music for one of his save America rallies in 2022. To everyone's surprise, the former president made his way to the podium to the funeral dirge theme song of The Undertaker. The song began playing at the rally as clips of pundits criticizing President Sleepy Joe Biden played on a screen. When the clips ended, the song continued to play out for another 30 seconds or so until an announcer introduced Trump. The video has since gone viral on various social media platforms showing the true power of the phenom, and also that apparently Trump will not rest in peace until he overturns the 2020 presidential election results or wins in 2024. Ever since the 12 year veteran of TNA made his jump to WWE in 2016, Bobby Roode's presence has been defined by a single word and the entrance music that accompanies it. Now as we've covered before on this channel, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Shinsuke Nakamura was originally offered glorious domination as his theme. But the artist turned it down, opting instead to work with CFOs and create the iconic Rising Sun. So this song sort of fell in Roode's lap. But what happened next was an almost overnight viral ascent of this theme after Roode's NXT debut and also thanks to Johnny Gargano and Tomasa Champa. Their glorious bombs brought joy to people all across the internet as they blew up social media by just playing the chorus of Glorious while Bobby just basically photobombed the video by just nodding in the background. The theme soon became a meme with Roode receiving tweets from all around the world. He had little kids doing glorious bombs and moms doing glorious bombs. The theme was being played in sports arenas across America, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria. They said his gimmick had a ceiling. They said that he could only go so far as a ballroom dancer. But for a short while, Fondango, the man formerly known as Johnny Curtis, was near the top of the music charts and on top of the wrestling world. Coming off the biggest win of his career at WrestleMania 29 when he defeated sports entertainer extraordinaire Chris Jericho, the next night's post-mania Monday Night Raw was the place when an unplanned phenomena grabbed a hold of the WWE Universe, pulled it in nice and close, and spontaneously created a viral sensation. Thanks to a bunch of loud and obnoxious New Jersey wrestling fans, Fondango became an internet darling, as the unexpected organic craze known as Fondangoing was born. Footage began to pop up all over YouTube as videos of fans singing and dancing to the song in buses and trains waltzed across the worldwide web faster than you can say Foxtrot. Now the WWE Universe wasn't just singing the tune, which was of course created by the Godfather of Entrance themes, Jim Johnston. They were listening to it and buying it too, especially in the United Kingdom, where the song reached number 11 on the country's iTunes chart. I guess the B-featers just love to boogie down with the dango. John Cena is one of the most polarizing WWE superstars in the company's history. Second only to Hulk Hogan, the original, clean cut, all-American babyface, Cena was and still is the ultimate good guy. Now for the man who has granted more make-a-wishes than any other celebrity in history, you probably wouldn't peg the leader of the C-nation to become a viral sensation. But that's the gift that keeps on giving with John. Cena has been the subject of numerous hysterical memes over the past decade and hardly a day goes by on social media when the franchise of the WWE isn't trending. Whether it's John speaking perfect Mandarin in Bing Chilling, Black John Cena, or Viner BSM playing his theme with nose flutes, Cena is a content creator's dream come true. But of all the memorable meme materials splattered all over the internet, the most famous of all involving the Doctor of Thugonomics is the unexpected Cena, or, and his name is John Cena, which went viral in 2015. This meme was primarily used across Vine and on short YouTube videos which involved a completely unrelated video clip ending with a bombastic introduction of The Time is Now, or John Cena himself being morphed into one of the characters from the video for humorous effect. Nowadays, it's his You Can't See Me catchphrase becoming fodder, as the internet is like Yo, we can't see this guy because he's invisible, so let's just take a picture next to this empty chair and be like Yo, I can't believe John Cena crashed our party. Even though these have been in the internet cycle for so long, it still keeps Cena as relevant and as fresh as a box of fruity pebbles.
