Wrestling fans were welcomed to WrestleMania in an interesting way this year: an intro video featuring a narrator that sounded an awful lot like Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. The imitator had wrestling fans confused on social media, was this actually Johnny Depp? No, but whoever it was did a pretty good job in channeling the famous actor and his character from the Pirates franchise.

The video also featured the classic AC/DC song “For Those About To Rock” toward the end.
“For those about to rock, we salute you.” ๐ค

Remember Him?
This video package is amazing. Shame they couldn’t get Paul Burchill to play the part of Jack Sparrow though #Wrestlemania

No Ships Just An Immitation
Kinda sad that we were robbed of the inevitably batshit pirate ship #WrestleMania set. Instead, we get this lame montage and bizarre Jack Sparrow impression.
