What are some examples of wrestlers not approving of the songs that they enter to? Randy Orton is a great example of this, as he did not like "Burn in My Light" from Mercy Drive. I think I read somewhere that The Rock did like entering to Method Man's version of his theme.
What are some other examples?

I think Wade Barrett has disliked all of his themes post-Nexus.

I remember an interview with Mike Quackenbush where he said that in his early days, one promoter wanted to bill him as being from Texas and asked him to walk out to cowboy music. Quack said no one would believe that he's from Texas. Quack also said that there were a few shows where the backstage crew played some twangy cowboy song instead of his regular music when he went to the ring... He'd just walk through the curtain and shrug his shoulders as if he didn't know what was happening to the music.

I remember Aries complaining about his music after winning the TNA World Title (I think it was his first Impact promo as champ) as if someone would take some incentive to do something about it.

William Regal said that he and Robbie Brookside used to enter to 'The Young Ones' by Cliff Richard when working for Brian Dixon. Dixon was so cheap that he didn't even buy the single, he just rang in to a local radio request show and then recorded the song onto cassette (complete with DJ talking on it).

Colt wasn't exactly complimentary of the production theme WWE gave to him on his brief run on the main roster.
Bryan openly hates "The Final Countdown" but stuck with it on the indies because it was so over.

He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

There were several instances of him actually mentioning it actually on TV as well as plenty more in interviews dating as far back as his winning of the World Title and they STILL didn't change his music at any point in his TNA career. His music wasn't even bad per se it was just super generic (which I guess, as a wrestler, is the last thing you want).

Bryan openly hates "The Final Countdown" but stuck with it on the indies because it was so over. I've always found the last one interesting, does Bryan actually hate the song or did he just grow to hate it? I mean I know he was glad to be rid of it when he signed with WWE but I always wondered which reason it was.

I doubt he really complained, but maybe it was when there was a new album of themes released and some other band covered Triple H's "The Game" theme and he used it a couple times and I can imagine him telling the engineers "ok, that's enough of that"

Cesaro's complained about his entrance theme, hasn't he? Yeah on mic during a house show earlier this year I believe. He did come out and say "Cut that music off, It Sucks."

Well he chose it in the first place as a joke since it was on some list of worst songs of all time.

Assuming you're talking about the version of "The Game" with the instrumentation of "My Time" and rap-ish vocals, I could've sworn that was only ever on the album because they couldn't clear the Motorhead version and Triple H never actually used it.

in his lengthy shoot interview for Smart Mark Video, Chris Hero talked about working a show for an indy where they randomly picked the wrestlers entrance themes. he got stuck with "Man, I Feel Like a Woman" by Shania Twain. he said after the regular matches everyone competed in a battle royal, and when it was his turn to enter he ran to the ring as fast as he could so they'd stop playing the song. instead they went New Jack with it and kept playing it while he beat people up.

I don't think the Motor City Machine Guns liked their TNA music.

Although he wasn't necessarily complaining (more baffled), I instantly thought of Rory MacDonald in UFC where they accidentally texted the wrong person thinking it was Rory, asking him what music he wanted. Whatever genius got the text copped what was going on proceeded to choose bizarre themes for Rory for, I want to say years?

I think Wade Barrett has disliked all of his themes post-Nexus. I think he liked "I Don't Care Anymore", but it really didn't suit his character.
