Welcome to List Day at TBL.

#5 – The Ultimate Warrior
The Warrior was the first wrestling star to cut the B.S. of a prolonged entrance by sprinting into the ring like Secretariat so he could spastically shake the ropes as if someone were smashing guitars inside his head. His music alone could turn a funeral into a battle royal. The greatest part of this clip though is Jesse Ventura telling Gorilla Monsoon that the Warrior running into the ring was a mistake because he wasn’t conserving his strength. Ventura officially has my vote to call the NBA Finals.

#4 – “Mr. Perfect” Curt Henning
Behind the back towel toss capped off by a gum slap into the crowd. Simple but effective, and perfectly arrogant. You could walk into your boss’s office right now and put his combover in an armbar and it still wouldn’t top Mr. Perfect’s cocky showmanship. Plus, there’s this.

#3 – The Rock
The eyebrow halfway up his forehead and the signature head tilt with his chin held high, The Rock could easily be No. 1. His ridiculous original theme music is played far too often at Bar Mitzvahs and not enough at weddings.

#2 – Hulk Hogan
I am not a real American if the Hulkster isn’t on this list. He won the belt from the Iron Sheik in 1984 and changed wrestling forever while Magic Johnson and Larry Bird were facing off in the Finals, changing the NBA forever. His entrance song has been playing for over 20 years and should probably be sung by Jimmy Hart during the halftime show of every Super Bowl until the end of time.

#1 – “Nature Boy” Ric Flair
I’m a sucker for the “WHOOOOOOOO,” and really, who isn’t? If TMZ existed during Flair’s heyday in the early 80s we’d probably have footage of him weaving through a mountain of coke in the back of his limo, making sure he gave all three Charlie’s Angels their proper ride on space mountain. All of his entrances, whether they were matches or interviews, were tremendous, so in lieu of an official “match entrance” video, here’s Flair in that special, all too familiar zone.

Guys that could’ve easily been on this list: Triple H, “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, The NWO and that ridiculous guitar riff, and Degeneration X, who gave wrestling a hilarious kick in the ass about ten years ago.
