WWE: The 25 Worst Entrance Songs in Wrestling History
In many ways, entrance music makes a superstar. It completes the package. Often times, a song becomes associated with a superstar, be it a good thing or not. Some stars become more memorable for their songs, while others live on infamously for the awful themes associated with them.
We can all recall a few years back when Randy Orton began using "Voices" by Rev Theory as his entrance theme. At first, fans questioned the change. The song just did not fit Orton. However, his character grew around it and the superstar we know today couldn't be associated with any other song.
Orton's type of story isn't meant for this list. This is for the other end of the line.
These are some of the absolute worst themes ever. Whether they fit awfully with the star or were simply extensions of awful gimmicks, these are the themes you dream at night in your nightmares and wish you forgot. They are the songs that don't belong on your iPod and make you question yourself when they do.
I regret doing so, but here are the worst themes of all time, in no particular order. After all, how do you rank awful against awful?
The Mountie
1 of 25I'm The Mountie. I'm handsome. I'm brave. I'm tall.
The Mountie also does us a solid a few seconds later and informs us that he enforces the law.
Seriously, if I had never seen The Mountie before and you told me this was his theme, I would think you were joking with me. This is such a ridiculous theme that it is actually funny. It makes me think that The Mountie got a boo-boo on his head and suddenly became a little loopy. It wasn't a bad can of Labatt Blue, was it?
I probably should have thrown an "eh" in there somewhere, too.
Disco Inferno
2 of 25Disco Fever indeed.
WCW's Disco Inferno seemed to actually stick, but it is confusing as to exactly why it did. It was basically the company going to a guy and suggesting that he come out and dance while they played generic disco music at the same time.
For some reason, it worked as his character stayed around. Without it, it is just a bad generic disco song. It's hard to believe that those awful songs still existed in the 1990s, especially when Disco Demolition night was such a success years earlier.
Lance Storm
3 of 25If I can be serious for a moment, this theme never should have happened. Lance Storm is a world-class athlete whose one fatal flaw was a personality. Perhaps Chris Jericho sucked it out of him when they trained together in the independents.
Regardless, this theme is nowhere close to fitting him. Whoever thought it was a good idea to do this to Lance Storm obviously does not like Lance Storm. There's no way that Storm willingly agreed to do this to his own character.
Red Rooster
4 of 25Red Rooster's theme will always be awful. Not only did it have way too many noises from a real rooster, but the rest of it sounded like a Techmo Bowl video game.
There's no possible way that Red Rooster could have liked this theme. It was as lame as his character, especially considering how Terry Taylor, who portrayed the gimmick, supposedly turned down the chance to be Mr. Perfect.
After turning down one of the all-time greatest gimmicks, this is exactly what to expect for the man they call Red Rooster.
Bastion Booger
5 of 25Bastion Booger scared me as a kid and is still a scary dude to look at. His name alone can pierce through you and tell you how gross this guy must be. His theme perfectly exemplifies it, but it doesn't make it a great theme.
Booger's theme includes him saying "I'm the Boogerman" and sounds of what can only be described as him developing phlegm in his mouth. It's one of those themes that just makes you feel gross all over. If you need to wash your hands before the next slide, I don't blame you.
Men on a Mission
6 of 25I still can't believe people got behind a tag team like Men on a Mission. The rap music itself is reason enough to look back on this and wonder what people were thinking.
The rap is about as lame as anything Will Smith has ever put out. We won't even get into how awkward it is to see Mabel, who became a King of the Ring under that persona, before he morphed into Viscera or Big Daddy V. There was certainly a long journey for him in the business.
Dr. Isaac Yankem DDS
7 of 25Isaac Yankem was a bad gimmick with an even worse theme. The idea that anyone thought a dentist gimmick would work in the wrestling world is a confusing one at that. Luckily for Yankem, he would bounce back with a different gimmick, becoming Kane and sticking out well with that gimmick.
For now, the offense and ear-splitting drilling of Isaac Yankem lives on in the memories of fans.
Kerwin White
8 of 25As a white individual, this theme was hard for even myself to listen to. Kerwin White was Chavo Guerrero's short-lived way of separating from the Guerrero family. A short time later, Chavo dropped the gimmick in order to honor his late uncle, Eddie.
Thank goodness for that, because this song and gimmick was one of the more awkward and unenjoyable ones in wrestling history. Not only is the song intended to sound like a Frank Sinatra classic, but the words are very pro-white.
Steven Regal
9 of 25He's a man.... Such a man...
William Regal's stint as "A Real Man's Man" Steve Regal seemed like it was a punishment, but it was just Vince Russo's attempt at creating a Brawny Man-type character. So why not use a man from England for it?
The video is now hilarious since we all know William Regal in the same light for over a decade in WWE. Here, his theme is all about him being such a man, as if they were trying to convince us. Well, they probably were and he really isn't. The video consists of him pouring concrete and his outfit resembled the construction worker from The Village People.
Marcus Cor Von
10 of 25I enjoyed Monty Brown in TNA and when I heard that he was coming to WWE, it made me excited. Finally, the Alpha Male would get a chance in the big leagues. Then, his music sounded like this. This theme doesn't fit him at all.
It sounds like it is one of those songs for a cocky guy, which The Alpha Male could be. However, Cor Von was always full of anger and energy and deserved more of a monster theme. The song seems more suited as a theme for a season for Hangin' With Mr. Cooper.
Finlay
11 of 25Finlay has been around for seemingly forever. This song may be even older than that. It's a menacing song that makes you fearful of the Irish fighter coming to the ring. Actually, no it doesn't—it just sounds like an old-school Irish execution or something.
Then again, maybe that was the point. I still don't enjoy this song though. It's just way too Irish stereotype for me. I couldn't possibly imagine a worse Irish-related theme.
Hornswoggle
12 of 25Oh, man. I forgot about this awful song. Yikes.
John Cena
13 of 25This was in between John Cena's generic phase and his "Basic Thuganomic" theme. I know many were expecting Cena's current theme to be here, but that at least worked for him because it is his own song.
This sounds like generic music that they put into a WWE video game in a menu screen. That's likely because that's exactly where this music is from. Someone should tell the DJ to stop scratching the record so much. It isn't making this song any better.
Michael McGillicutty and David Otunga
14 of 25I liked this song when it was attached to Justin Gabriel for a few weeks. Then it was thrown onto these two idiots. Otunga and McGillicutty were tag-team champions with this song for their entrance. It was the most hateful part about them as champions: the fact that we would have to hear this stupid song. It fits neither of them, especially McGillicutty.
The beginning had that South African feel to it that made it fine as Gabriel's theme, but it is just awkward with these two. I feel like this would be the kind of song that you hear in purgatory in an attempt to crack your spirit.
Kung Fu Naki
15 of 25Do I really need to explain why this is such a bad song?
"Yeah, Kung Fu Naki coming for you, yeah."
Is he really coming for me? Do I really care? Could I beat him, since everyone else does? Also the line saying "You better believe he wasn't born in Millwaukee" is incredibly insensitive. There were additional rhymes that are just as bad. This sounds like something that Disney would create.
Jesse and Festus
16 of 25Biscuits and gravy apparently made Jesse and Festus men, but couldn't make them tag-team champions in their stints in WWE. There isn't even a part of this song that I can look at as a good aspect of it. It's just all bad.
The only really funny part of this song is this video, which edits this song into other people's themes. Some of them are hilarious. If you watch this and didn't hate this song before, you will now. Be prepared to have it stuck in your head today.
American Males
17 of 25This song is just plain awful unless it is in the soundtrack to a Revenge of the Nerds movie. It certainly tells us what the name of the tag-team is, but not too much beyond that. It does, however, warn women that they may end up in critical condition from talking to them. Seriously.
Simon Dean
18 of 25It fits perfectly with the gimmick, but it is about as cheesy as they come. Simon Dean was a gimmick of a weight-loss guru, but the theme had to remind most people of a bad Van Halen intro from the 1990s, right?
I can only imagine what the words to this song would have been if there were any.
TL Hopper
19 of 25It's a plumber gimmick, so I think we all know what the theme is going to be. I just can't imagine what the heck they are flushing that takes that many flushes for it to go down. If I were the opponent of TL Hopper, I would ask the referee to have him wash his hands first.
David Flair
20 of 25Ah, yes. The infamous David Flair theme. It's generic personified. The most enjoyable part of this theme is the video, which is about as random and generic as they come. This has inspired countless titantrons made for others with Flair's style brought in.
There's nothing stylish about this theme, as you can clearly see that they did no favors to the son of Ric Flair.
Billy Kidman
21 of 25I love Billy Kidman, but I will be damned if this song never fit him whatsoever. There's just something about a small cruiserweight wrestler and DMX that doesn't mesh together. There's no way that Kidman was the first choice for this theme, nor was it made specifically for him.
I don't know the situation that got Kidman this hand-me-down theme, but there had to be another choice.
Mr. Ass
22 of 25He's an ass man. We get it. Billy Gunn likes his butt. Can you really sing about it for three minutes? Apparently, you can. No wonder they rarely used this theme when he was with DX. The talks about all the ways that he loves the rear, with one of those being that he loves to "stick 'em", whatever that means.
Clean it up, guys.
Chyna
23 of 25Chyna was a menacing figure in WWE. Despite being a woman, many could look at her as about as fierce a competitor as anyone else. However, her theme makes some stuff a little confusing.
It suggests that we don't treat Chyna like a woman or a man. In fact, we shouldn't treat her like we know her, which is easy since most of us don't. The theme believes that we should treat her for just who she is, but she just told us three things to not treat her like.
These are very confusing directions, Chyna.
X-Factor
24 of 25I actually enjoyed X-Factor, but this theme was not a part of it. Uncle Kracker doesn't belong in the WWE. This song is better off being a Kid Rock song, since it pretty much sounds like one.
Justin Credible, Albert and X-Pac didn't work out very well as their own spin-off of DX, but they can blame this theme for that problem, as well as most of the rest of their gimmick.
nWo Wolfpac
25 of 25Let's end on this note with the nWo Wolfpac.
It certainly isn't remembered nearly as much as the original nWo theme and I can't imagine why. This theme officially made the nWo way too redundant. This was around the time where I just wanted to see the nWo Hollywood, the lWo and even the bWo.
The Wolfpac was the worst incarnation of the nWo, at least until nWo 2000 was born.
