10 WWE Superstars Whose Music Was Cooler Than They Are

10. Santino Marella

Santino Marella was the most punchable face of the PG era. His comedy antics encompassed some of the worst of a particularly toothless booking period which, while not devoid of talent, used characters like the Milan Miracle to fill hours of TV guaranteed to offend no one and entertain only marginally more.

Marella was specifically written and played not to be cool. Face or heel, he was an idiot, and the audience were supposed to laugh at him, not with him.

Marella's theme was an epic opera/rock fusion of immense grandiosity. It was complicit with the joke, of course, that this bristly buffoon should have such a grand theme, and it was perhaps the funniest part. No wrestler could ever really be big enough to deserve this sweeping ode to arrogance, least of all Marella. And quite apart from serving as a punchline, it's also a piece of inspiring histrionics in its own right.
