IN addition to the fact that the man who "ain't got no family" was going home to a gorgeous model every night, they say "a long career is not expected" but he lasted a lot longer than most.
This was before he was famous and had a model wife. The line "a long career is not expected" is actually really sad. He lasted longer than Brian Pillman.
@@sandyunderpants4376he met his wife in 1990, he'd joined WCW for a brief 6 month run in 89 but this theme is from his second run in 92, the same year he married her
This theme is still a banger. I miss themes like this that have lyrics written about the wrestler themselves. I think the only current one that has that kind of theme is Kenny Omega. Ciampa, Gargano and The Miz all have themes with lyrics but they're more general platitudes than specific references to the wrestler they represent.
I wonder if Mick Foley had some input to this theme. I say this because Mick has said he was a huge Frank Zappa fan... and the guy doing the vocals in this song is trying his hardest to sound like mid 70's Zappa, and does a pretty decent job of it.
He talked about it in his first book, he actually didn't like it. Especially the lines "he ain't got no family" and "He's Cactus Jack or better known as Mr Bang Bang"
For those who do research like, it is a shame to find out the name Cactus Jack was not original. It was the nickname of former Texas-bred Vice President John Nance Garner, who even gave an epic "Bang Bang" gun-wielding photo pose with Harry Truman.
Actually it didn't they used it to dub over Welcome to the Jungle which was his actual theme, almost all ecw themes have to be dubbed over now cause they used real songs that cost a lot of money.
Because they actually don't own it, in fact they were sued for including these songs on dvd, so at first they weren't in the Network ppvs but WWE reached a settlement with the label or company whatever and restored the ppvs with these themes.
Seems that someone in the office was a big Megadeth fan, between this (the opening riff of Skin O My Teeth) and Maxx Payne doing a few lines of Sweating Bullets in a promo. So of course six years later when they show up on Nitro, it was the totally craptacular Crush Em. Ah WCW, my weekly running gag up until spring 2001.........................
Simpsons love to screw with the wrestling world. I have once again come across the episode where Homer visited the bar which had brawling on a regular basis, and which even aired around the time of the Cactus Jack theme music change. "Broken bones on a country floor are really more his thing" would definitely describe the country bar where Homer met Lurleen Lumpkin. Homer even maintained his love of football and wrestling in a recent Treehouse of Horror. The Simpsons will always screw with the wrestling world, regardless of what promotion it may be.
"And look at Mr. Bang Bang, UNBELIEVABLE!!!" Still remember that MSG '97 callback from JR.

What in the name of crack are you talking about

Foley is a high IQ person
Its almost as if the song is about a fictional character. Nice deduction, genius. 🙄

I loved when he came back that day in Madison Square Garden and freaked Triple H out when Dude Love and Mankind introduced him.
I was there for that 1st Raw in MSG.
He didn’t come out to it in msg. They dubbed it in replays after buying wcw
Cactus jack? Somebody spank me, I thought he was dead!
@@paulie9483 He's alive... HE'S ALIVE!
Man, the lyrics make this song! Nothing like Early 90's WCW!
Who is Cactus Jack? I've only ever known him as Mr. Bang Bang.
Mr. King of The Deathmatch himself, Cactus Jack! BANG BANG!
Fatal Four Way Hell In A Cell Match: Dude Love vs. Mankind vs. Cactus Jack vs. Mick Foley
YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
would pay good money to see that.
I don't think mick counts though
+KillMaster War Boy (killmaster4710) He has wrestled as Mick Foley before though. even in the fed too. I think his Edge WM match was Mick Foley
He wrestled as Mick Foley in the Fatal Four Way at WrestleMania 16 in 2000 as well .
They could do a cinematic match with that concept.
yo without lyrics, thus song would totally be badass!!
the lyrics worked!
This album art is so 90s it hurts.
42 years later and this song still fires me right the F up.
This song is maybe 30 years best came out 1992/93
Imagine commenting this thinking this song came out in 1980.

Who's here from Wrestling with Wregret?
Me
+ellis weekes He's as strange as a man can be, he aint got no family.
✋
Me
www me
this whole damn album is so 90s it hurts
But in a good way
This song is inspired by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Nothing 90’s about it.
I thought John Holmes was Mr. Bang Bang?

Bray Wyatt did.
@@TheRedRaccoonDog Touche, both the OG Wyatt theme and the Fiend.
This was also used to dub his WWE Theme on 24/7 Classics
Why tho
@@Chugga0921 Cause for some reason WWE Didnt have the rights to his original theme i have no idea why
Cactus Jack & Maxx Payne vs The Nasty Boys - love those WCW hardcore matches
"Ten Foot Pole" by ZZ Top
Foley was at his best as cactus jack.
I wonder if Mick Foley had some input to this theme.
I say this because Mick has said he was a huge Frank Zappa fan... and the guy doing the vocals in this song is trying his hardest to sound like mid 70's Zappa, and does a pretty decent job of it.

I was gonna say this same thing. The verses sound exactly like Zappa singing some nonsense about Cactus.
Yeah it's a complete rip off of Zomby Woof
I believe A Zappa was involved in the making of this album
Bang Bang!
Ron Simon's on the photo almost looks like Faarooq😂LOL
Clarence Pagtalunan because he is
@@moamlbeastineast772 r/woosh
Shak where are you
@@moamlbeastineast772 🤦
Shak it’s a joke
Well some rock songs are sounded like this.
But for me this song was good👍
He ain't got no family lol

Yep. Mick Foley is a fraud. John Nance Garner is the true hardcore legend.
HASHA!..HASHA!..HASHA!!
It's a bad theme, but a great bad theme.
This song was played in ECW when Mick Foley was wrestling the Sandman when Mick Foley had bound wire wrapped around his hand or fists whatever
Actually it didn't they used it to dub over Welcome to the Jungle which was his actual theme, almost all ecw themes have to be dubbed over now cause they used real songs that cost a lot of money.
No...they dubbed his actual theme which was Back in Black by ACDC
@@phenomenalone7134 bro my comment was two years ago I already know this was a dubbed
*A LONG CAREER IS NOT EXPECTED*
*BUT HE REALLY DOESN'T CARE-UH, WHEN HE'S IN THE CIRCLED-SQUARE*
HE KNOWS HE'LL SOON END UP EJECTED
I never understood why the WWF/e never re released this ?
Because they actually don't own it, in fact they were sued for including these songs on dvd, so at first they weren't in the Network ppvs but WWE reached a settlement with the label or company whatever and restored the ppvs with these themes.
Wait ... didn't WWF play this during January and February 2001 ... BEFORE they acquired WCW?
Well 2000 actually and no they used this to dubbed over his WWF Theme song.
WWF/WWE used this theme at some point at least once right?
This sounds like zomby woof by frank zappa

The organ music was Waaaaaaayyyy better. When that shit blasted from the speaker, you knew you were in for a handful.
He's not on a team (except from DDP)
I'm guessing you bought the hof showcase and you just found that out?
He was on a team back when he was in WCCW which was World Class Championship Wrestling he was in Devastation Incorporated managed by Skandor Akbar
Or with Maxx Payne
This song is ZZ Top A.F.

Who did the song? Jimmy Papa?
Yé!
Ok but who calls him Mr. Bang Bang
Definitely not his family
It was the way he double shot his fingers like a gun they called him Mr Bang Bang for that reason bang bang
@@mr._the7651He's as strange as a man can be!
@@mr._the7651of corse not he ain't got no family
Here coz of Wrestling Bio's
def written with “skin O my teeth” by Megadeth in mind
I think this is the only good track on the album lol Bang Bang! have a nice day
Was This Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top singing this song?
ur joking?
No lie this is actually my dad singing this track! Michael Raupp Sr. Lmao
Haha wassup bro!
No, the singer is actually Michael Hayes of the Fabulous Freebirds. He also sang his own theme Bad Street USA, and several others.
Definitely michael Raupp sr
instrumental at beginning is awseome rest is rubbish
Wow! This is horrible. I always felt WCW always recycled certain sounds. Because a lot of them spund so alike.
I like the instrumental, but the lyrics is just awful
That just makes it 100x better lmao
Eeewww... one of the worst themes ever. Complete trash. His WWF theme was much, much better
