- I honestly can't believe this actually happened. WWE's legendary music producer Jim Johnston played The Undertaker's theme song on piano for me at the end of our interview. Jim worked for WWE from 1985-2017 and wrote iconic themes for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, Vince McMahon, Degeneration X, Kane, The Undertaker, Mick Foley and many more.
This is a clip from our full interview that will be released next week!

Guys, did this really just happen?? 🤯
Holy crap did he just play the Wrestlemania 30 version of The Undertaker's theme right after the streak ended? Oh my God that song should be used for the end of the Mortal Kombat 2021 movie
Legendary 🤯🤯
@Anna Its really him! I cant believe lol
But how cool was he really? Because he seems so badass and humble
In paul bearer's voice oh yes! It did just happen
Piano Undertaker theme is absolutely beautiful and tragic/sad all in one.
sad bcause hes retired :'(
@@PixelFoxxGaming no sad because it's a melancholic tune that pulls at the heart
@@zerozeeros no.
Well said!
Actually
What annoys me is that Vince Mcmahon hasn't inducted him into the Hall of Fame at all. He helped make hundreds of incredible themes and should be recognised for it. Thank you Jim.
Of course he hasn't noob. He only retired recently. He will induct him next chance he has a crowd
@@zerozeeros no there were some problems between Vince and Jim. So no HOF for Jim unfortunately. Nvm, that shit is pointless anyways
@@zerozeeros Evan was referring to Jim Johnston, not Taker
@@zerozeeros very quick to call somebody a noob, when you didn’t even read the original comment correctly.
@@zerozeeros ok noob then explain why tf the bellas were in so quick
This hit me in the feels

I’VE NEVER SEEN A JIM JOHNSTON INTERVIEW BEFORE. LEGEND.
Steve Austin has on his podcast
Jim Johnston has done interviews before, there's a video here on RUclips from several years ago about how he created The Undertaker's music back when he was still working for WWE at the time. As a matter of fact, he did interviews about the music he made for Triple H, Randy Orton, D-Generation X and The Rock.
I didnt even know what he looked like till now
@@drewroney7900 Oh wow
He's briefly in Beyond the Mat. You should check it out.
Jim Johnston, the real reason behind some of the most iconic memories. The music that made every surprise return so emotional. He deserves to be in the Hall Of Fame. A true legend
I don't understand why wwe would let him go.
Yes he does bro he shaped our childhoods
He's the John Williams of wrestling.
The most iconic piece of music ever in the wrestling industry.
@Anna old but gold
Nope, the mountie's theme song hands down, come on man
@@JJ-xr1qv
Ok. I’m talking about music though, not a piece of sound lol
@@slimjim2114 who's mountie?
@@bhargavchavda1478 he's the mountie! And the mountie always gets his man!
*Chills.* That’s what I felt when he started playing.
He’s a true legend.
100% the same was thinking h y that's cool go play something Jim then boom real actual emotions happen.
Every jim Johnston song was a hit
He had over 5000 songs and 20 were iconic. Hardly but nice try.
@@christinerivera5328 Debbie downer over here. 😂
@@briancromartie3149 nope, just pointing out that not only was not every song a hit but it was actually a very miniscule amount.
@@christinerivera5328 that’s not what he was referring to, he was just saying that mostly all of Jim Johnston’s songs were always good
@@christinerivera5328 His songs were so good, him and Hans Zimmer are G.O.A.TS
The guy is to wrestling what John Williams is to movies. Just incredible.
Absolutely!
John Williams or Hans Zimmer. Both are GOATs
Who from the first note instantly got chills?
goosebumps once he started playing
I got those FULL BODY chills you only get when something is REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY amazing!
Yes it's the dominance
Insane 🤯
Saiman who's your favourite wrestler
Wow. Saiman 😯
Arre Saiman bhai idhar.... Timothy kaisa hai?
Bhendi
Jim Johnston is an absolute legend and we can’t thank him enough.
The legend himself Jim Johnston Chris is stepping up his game
WWE needs to bring him back. The themes he came up with for the talent are better than the ones today.
Timeless. These new themes will be forgotten in the next generation
as long as vince is in charge that will never happen.
Wrestling is aimed at kids these days. They’d be better off hiring the guy who did the Barney theme song
@@bassacoustic1549 Or someone from Disney🤣
@@bassacoustic1549 🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful. Wow!
hey i didnt know you were into wrestling
It's an absolute crime that the WWE HOF doesn't have a warm spot waiting for Jim. Living legend. Thank you for sharing this moment Chris.
Chris Van Vilet deserves 1 million subscribers
We’re on our way!
@@ChrisVanVliet yes sir you are
It sounds way more cool and kinda haunting on the piano like that.
OK THATS THE BEST VERSION OF HIS THEME.
Is Jim in the HOF ? If not he definitely deserve it !!
No he’s not atm. Which is a crime
@@tspawn35 Typical boss, uses employee, kicks them to curb.
@@tspawn35 Falling out? I think it was just basically an out with the old in with the new type of situation. I hope we get to finally find out with this upcoming Jim Johnston interview! 😃😃😃
No but drew Carey is lol
@@jjthapyro4130 There was some issue with Johnston claiming rights to IP (i.e. his songs) and WWE saying, "Nope."
i got fucking chills it sounds so good stripped back like that
Man this version is rad, and thank you Jim Johnston for music that impacted my teenage /college years
don’t know much about Jim but he’s created some of the most iconic music in wrestling
That's all you need to know lol
Truly amazing. That gave my goosebumps Chris hearing the Undertaker theme on Piano. Can't wait for the full interview.
This made ALL the hair on my body stand up and gave me the most serious case of goosebumps I have EVER had!!! The sport of professional wrestling NEEDS an OVERALL Hall of Fame so people like Jim Johnston can be properly recognized for what they have done for the sport!
That man is just a legend.
WOW. This seriously blew me away. Really beautiful, slightly melancholy but it just resonates somewhere deep. We need to have a proper recording of this please, just the piano.
This piano version is available on Spotify and RUclips. Just type in “Undertaker piano theme” 👍👍
Ok i had goosebumps all over my body!!!
Thank you Jim for everything 😭 and thank you Chris for helping us relive such an amazing childhood memory ❤️
Jim Johnston is so humble. A class act.
I had tears in my eyes when Jim Johnston started playing. Words lost all means.
Same
Why did wwe even fire this man? This man is the reason why we have iconic wwe theme songs!
And the ones that came after him only lasted a few years (cfo)
They moved him over to WWE Studios where he was supposed to score movies and hired CFO$, who were already writing for NXT, to write all the themes. Then when they all but disbanded WWE Studios they had two composing teams on staff and let go of the more expensive one.
There's only so many songs a person can come up with
So emotional that tune damn. Imagine that playing as taker retired and with crowd people would.be bawling
What a legend. Tons of respect to him.
absolute MASTER composer/musician!
I didn't want it to end😭😭😭 the best ever theme song in WWE history!
Been loving your interviews lately, can’t wait for this one!
I wanted to see the interview for long time thank you Chris Van Vliet.🙏🏻
i could kiss this man for simply making the Ministry of Darkness theme
Greatest theme ever, hands down!
@@liquidgeorge while I do like that theme the Brood theme is also a strong contender
@@z0m813 Oh that is perfection too.
Between Ministry and Kane’s theme, they are truly the best!
Every year that passes I ask myself again and again, why isn't Jim Johnston in the WWE Hall of Fame
YES! I'm so glad that you got to interview Jim Johnston, I've always thought that he would be an amazing person for you to interview, I can't wait to see the full thing!
I rarely comment on wrestling-related videos but, wow.
This gave me chills that are incredibly hard to describe. Thank you for being an integral part of WWE's music back in its heydeys, Jim Johnston.
I'm also looking forward to the full interview!
Whoa! You know how long I've wanted to see a Jim Joshnston interview? This is amazing. Congratulations Chris! And thank you! 🙏
i’m not crying, you are. growing up listening to his work was the best
Goosebumps as soon as he plays it...... Thank You Jim Johnston the best theme song ever...
