10 Most Underrated WWE Theme Songs

10. Doink The Clown - Evil Behind The Makeup

In 1993, few themes captured the essence of a WWE superstar quite like Doink The Clown's original heel theme. The evil clown made his name by playing nasty pranks on fans and wrestlers alike. Of course, he first appeared to be a friendly, jovial clown, whether that meant handing out balloons, balloon animals, or flowers, but soon his true colors were apparent. This theme went a long way in identifying the underlying nastiness to this colorful jester.

The Jim Johnston theme began with a circus-like intro before dipping down into a dark, sinister place. When the character eventually turned babyface in late '93, the second portion of his entrance track was dropped, instead going full Ringling Bros with the theme. It was appropriate for a good-guy clown but the character (and theme) was completely neutered.

Certainly taking inspiration from Stephen King's IT, Matt Borne's portrayal of Doink The Clown was made better by this entrance song, but both the heel character and the theme were killed off too soon.
