CM Punk’s entrance is unforgettable, thanks in part to the legendary song “Cult of Personality” by Living Colour. The band’s lead singer, Corey Glover, recently shared the story behind this iconic pairing.
Glover himself is now a wrestling fan, thanks to CM Punk. He explained how the song became Punk’s signature entrance music. Apparently, Punk loved the song since his childhood baseball days.
A Decade-Long Entrance Anthem
When Punk joined WWE, they initially wanted to create a similar song for him. However, Punk insisted on the original version.
According to Glover, Punk even has a clause in his contract that guarantees that the song follows him wherever he wrestles. This means “Cult of Personality” will likely continue to be Punk’s entrance music, regardless of promotion.
The story behind Punk’s entrance music highlights the power of a wrestler’s connection to their theme song. The right song can become an essential part of a wrestler’s persona, instantly setting the tone for their arrival and amping up the crowd.
In CM Punk’s case, “Cult of Personality” perfectly complements his rebellious and outspoken character, making their bond a true match made in wrestling heaven.
