In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, Sean ‘X-Pac’ Waltman spoke about his past years in the WWE. He shared how Uncle Kracker ended up creating his theme song in the early 2000s by saying:
“Shane McMahon comes up to me and goes, ‘Hey, we’re thinking about having Red Hot Chili Peppers do your new theme music,’ and I go, ‘No, I want Uncle Kracker!'”
Commenting on having Red Hot Chili Peppers ‘in line’ for his theme, the former wrestler added:
“When they say something like that, and especially at that point that where WWE was, we were pretty hot. I was the one that picked Uncle Kracker because I knew him, and that’s kinda how I was at the time.”
While Waltman did not reveal which song of the band had been considered, Uncle Kracker’s ‘What ‘Chu Lookin’ At’ became the theme for both him and his short-lived ‘X-Factor’ stable with Justin Credible and Albert.
The song received some criticism when it was shared with the public, although X-Pac talked about it as follows:
“I thought it was good, actually. I’m not going to lie. I’m not going to go, ‘Yeah, I could see why people -‘ No. I don’t understand what the f**k there was to hate.”
