"Great song for a dead campaign" — Internet reacts to Trump entering Michigan rally to Undertaker's theme song
Donald Trump, the US Republican candidate, entered his campaign rally in Michigan on October 25, 2024, to the Undertaker's theme music. He arrived three hours late due to a podcast interview with Joe Rogan and had announced his delay via a video from his plane. The rally was originally set to start around 7:30 PM, and upon his arrival, the music transitioned into Lee Greenwood’s "God Bless the USA."
Trump's use of the Undertaker theme was met with mixed response on social media. Many people trolled him, claiming the song choice was apt for his "dead campaign."
"Great song for a dead campaign," one person tweeted.
Several people agreed with this sentiment, adding the theme was "ominously fitting."
"Donald Trump entering to the Undertaker’s theme at his Michigan rally feels...ominously fitting. If he’s back in office, America might be facing some of those same dark tones in real life," one person tweeted.
"Creepy as s**t, and very befitting for what a fascist Trump presidency would feel like," another person added.
"Does that mean he’s trying to kill the country?" someone else questioned.
"WTF? Is that because his campaign is dead!!" another user asked.
Others commented on his tardiness at the rally, questioning why people stayed after he showed up three hours late.
"Why in gods name did anyone stay," one person asked.
"He’s been meandering around to music for a good 5-6 minutes now after showing up three & a half hours late," another person added.
"Please tell me it’s really his wake. Did anyone stay?" someone else commented.
"He was 3 hours late too and some people left," another netizen wrote.
Undertaker endorsed Trump in the upcoming election
WWE stars Undertaker and Hulk Hogan are among the many celebrities to endorse Trump for the upcoming elections. The former president also appeared on the Undertaker's podcast Six Feet Under on October 21. The Undertaker, whose real name is Mark Calaway, said that Donald got people to care "one way or the other" about politics.
The former president also praised the retired wrestler for his dramatic entrances, adding the latter had the "best come out introduction" of all WWE stars.
“You had the best come out introduction I have ever seen in anything ever. It was so cool. The music, the lights, the best!” Trump said.
Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Gene Bollea, also endorsed Trump. In a Fox News interview on October 19, Hogan effused that he was "quick on his feet," claiming the election would lead to a landslide victory for the Republican candidate.
“Donald Trump is quick on his feet, man. He can pivot, he’s all smoke and mirrors, but when it comes down to business, he’s a businessman. You know, like that “economic forum”, where he schooled that guy who didn’t know a thing about tariffs? So I hear what you’re saying about the polls and it’s even-steven. But let me tell you something, I don’t believe the polls. It’s going to be a landslide," he said.
The former president has long since been a WWE fan, hosting WrestleMania IV and V in the 1980s. He was also engaged in a rivalry with WWE founder Vince McMahon that saw the two send out two proxy wrestlers to battle each other at WrestleMania 23 in 2007. Trump's wrestler won, resulting in McMahon shaving his head as punishment.
Meanwhile, Democratic candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris addressed people in Houston, Texas, on Friday, where she was joined by Beyoncé. According to Newsweek, the rally was attended by a record-breaking crowd of 30,000 people, earning the title of the biggest crowd at a Harris rally.
