ECW: New Jack (performed by Dr Dre & Ice Cube)

Watching the original ECW, you knew things were going to get real when you heard this

New Jack is a wrestler known for his violent antics both inside and outside the ring, while often blurring the line between the two. His career has led to him being one of the most controversial figures in wrestling, with fans and haters usually very vocal about their thoughts on him.

Regardless, the man made an impact in the business back in the original ECW. He began his run tagging with Mustafa Saed and D'lo Brown in Smokey Mountain Wrestling, under the moniker, 'The Gangstas'. Jack and Saed would continue their partnership in ECW, where they captured tag team gold. After Saed was released from ECW, Jack began dragging a garbage can of weapons to the ring with him. It wasn't too long before this was a standard part of a New Jack appearance, complete with a staple gun around his neck.

New Jack would have several themes in ECW, but this theme is arguably the most memorable. The initial gun shot instantly made New Jacks presence known, and the chaotic sound of the tune was perfect New Jacks style. In fact, it worked so well that eventually, they didn't bother stopping the theme when New Jack got to the ring. It would play continuously as Jack caused carnage all over the arena, providing a scene you could have only experienced in ECW.
