The sound is widely recognized as the gong tied to The Undertaker's WWE entrance, one of the most iconic audio cues in pro wrestling. It became popular outside wrestling through meme edits, reaction videos and short-form clips where a single bell instantly signals doom, dominance or theatrical drama. Its staying power comes from how quickly listeners identify the reference, much like a vine boom in modern meme editing, while the bell itself remains simple enough to loop or repeat for comic effect.
