From coming up with clever names for his signature moves to designing his website, "Sugar" Shane Helms likes to take an active role in every aspect of his career. So when he needed new entrance music after breaking away from 3 Count, Helms decided to write the song himself.

It took Helms all of 10 mintues to write the lyrics to "Vertebreaker" the song named after his finishing move. Helms then told Jimmy Hart what he wanted the song to sound like, and the legendary wrestling manager and music guru called on rap group Boys With The Bass to record it.

"I wanted it to sound like "Shimmy Shimmy Ya' by Ol' Dirty Bastard" says Helms, who wanted to sing the song but was unable to because of time constraints. "The main thing I want is that as soon as the song hits, people know I'm coming."

To add some sizzle to the entrance, the Nitro Girls accompany Helms in a dance routine on the stage and that was his idea, too. For those wishing to sing along with "VerteBreaker," here are the words:

 

Now I am the  original k-i-d

Started back in '91 in the state of N.C.

Came up hard with dues I paid

Now Helms invades with a funky tirade

Try-to-bes take notice, Sugar Shane has arrived

To 'plex all opponents right up their backside

Aim high like the sky with the skills to imply

Helms will survive while them other fools die

 

Chorus:

VerteBreaker (Will break your spine)

VerteBreaker (Does the trick everytime)

So don't go to sleep, cause Sugar Shane creeps

To hit you with the Nightmare on Helms Street

Solo at last, the hit that won't miss

Planting the Sugar Smack right on your lips

All-out pops, non-top to  you drop

Make you say pretty please with Sugar on top

Repeat Chorus
