Snap Into It!

So today’s topic will be one that everybody will have a little fun with. We all do it, especially when no one is looking. So today’s topic will be one that everybody will have a little fun with. It is the Wrestler Voice. Now the first thing that should come to your mind is Macho Man Randy Savage’s lovely rasp but have you ever thought about how many different wrestling individuals are “blessed” with this vocal power. Hulk Hogan, Vince McMann, and so many other guys that jump into the ring all have the same way of speaking.

I think there must be a school that holds class for just this topic. Imagine if you will, all of the electric spandex and bandana clad warriors sitting down at tiny desks, all practicing this unsung art. Did Jake The Snake actually have an Alto voice before graduating? Does the Hulkster actually smoke two packs a day to keep his ability or is it something practiced?

I don’t know Brother, but I have my own theory. It’s the Slim Jims. Back in 1985, the Macho Man snapped into one to many of those tasty sausage treats and that snapping caused a vibration that snapped all of the vocal cords of modern day wrestlers. Now, every time someone snaps into a Slim Jim, a wrestler gets his voice.

OOOOHHHH YEEAAHHH!
