Back in the days when most promos were done backstage in front of nice backdrops, and rarely in the ring, and before the sound guys were used by rude wrestlers to interrupt in-ring promos, there were still a lot of good theme songs that could have become trademarks for stopping a ranting wrestler dead in his tracks. I don't really remember a lot of this happening back then; I know that the Ultimate Warrior's WM8 run-in was heralded by his music, but not really much else.

For example, could you imagine Hulk Hogan in the midst of an in-ring rant, suddenly cut in on by the biting laughter of Ted DiBiase's theme? And, Christ, Tatanka's theme song opening wasn't terribly different from Hassan's, it could easily have gotten the same reputation back when.

So, yeah, name a few old-days theme songs that could have had us interrupting each other's posts if the internet had been around.

Yeah, the "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" of DiBiase's or the "AI-YI-YI-YI-YI-YI YI YI YI!" of Tatanka's is easily translated.

I know this is a tangent, but now I'm picturing Hassan backstage, singing his own promo because there's no Titantron.

John Cena: The Champ is...

ALLLLEYAAAAAA

Cena: Damn, man, pick a key or something.

You know the beginning of his song means "The Night" but the music just elongates the word. It's a well known song across middle east

Ah ha ha ha ha @ singing his own theme music.
That would be hilarious. Or if Daivari did it for him.

Hassans theme always sounded like "Alien! Alien! Aliiiiieeeeen Aliiieeenn!!" as in Illegal Alien maybe subliminally telling the crowd that he wasn't American and should be booed. Even though he was American.

No, no, he's clearly saying "Allah," but stretching out the words. By doing so, he's reenforcing that he's no Christian, and thus, unlike us.
