Basically bad themes that hurt a wrestler and their character.
Rob Conway's "Just Look at Me" theme. How were crowds supposed to react to that?

A lot of the themes given to newer wrestlers around 2010ish were... questionable. The Usos' first theme, Luke Gallows' theme after leaving the SES which was somehow even more incomprehensible than Test's...

Cody Rhodes's theme after leaving Legacy, generic Texas blues rock. It actually worked much better for Husky Harris on NXT. I miss that guy.
Curtis Axel's theme is decent once it kicks in, but that awful muffled drum thing starting it off is instant heat killer.
Los Matadores' theme is like a musical shrugging of the shoulders.

Actually in regards to Curtis, I'd keep the drum intro, but I'd change the rest of the theme. The beat is fine, but remixing Mr. Perfect's theme in general is doing him no favors. I'd take out those riffs that are generally associated with his father's music, and come up with a new melody instead. I like the intro to Los Matadores' theme, but the actual song just kills the entire vibe that the intro works so hard to build up. |

It's a good melody and it's a different context so I like hearing it. But, I think it'd be better for him if they came up with a new one that was equally good. The drum intro though...hate it. It's like he's supposed to be a big asshole movie star or something and get a bunch of heat, it just inspires awkward silence. Sort of approrpriate for ol' Axel, but still. Agreed on Los Matadores', they have this build up, then it's just "meh. meh meh meh meh. meh meh meh meh. meh meh. meh meh. MEH meh meh meh." |

Rikishi's heel theme "Bad Man." "Bad Man" was one of the two good things about heel Rikishi. The other good thing were those sweet "Rikishi Phatwear" jumpsuits (which he did wear as a face, but not as often). |

Apologies for my ignorance. I was referring to the actual part, not the drum itself. But I did not know it was a timpani, just thought it was a floor tom slowed down with some reverb or something. Now that I listened to a high quality version, it does sound pretty badass. Doesn't translate well on TV to me though. |

R-Truth's "Right Time" - so good, they went back to "What's Up?"
Wade's "Just Don't Care Anymore" and "Rebel Son", plus the 20 or so variation of "End of Days" prior to the final one.
Hunico's "Respeto" is actually a pretty decent piece of music, but poor as a theme.

"I got everything I ever wanted, and I'll never give that back!"
I'm not a fan of Kaitlyn's current theme. It's just bad...

Randy Orton's Mercy Drive theme, while not terrible, was utterly unsuited to him. it felt forced (like the rest of his WHC winning face turn) and when he turned heel it didn't even fit his character anymore. it'd be like if Cerebral Assassin era Triple H still came out to Ode to Joy, or if fun-loving Mick Foley-in-a-mask Mankind came out to his earlier monster heel theme.

I think he did for longer than you'd think. |

Drew McIntyre's 'Broken Dreams' theme tune. A really good song (in my opinion), but why the hell was it an entrance theme song at all, let alone his?
