10 WWE Wrestlers Whose Theme Songs Were The Best Thing About Them
10. Maven

The song sounds a lot like what a song called "Tattoo" by a band named "Big Mother Thruster" - and released in 2001, no less - would probably sound like. Despite the early-aughts butt-rock sound, though, it's surprisingly catchy - especially the opening guitar riff, which is instantly recognizable (an important quality for a wrestling theme song).
Unfortunately, Maven never quite lived up to the song. Despite a push and a good reaction based on his Tough Enough win, his ring work never improved to the point where the company was confident putting him in big matches. An Intercontinental Title shot against Shelton Benjamin in 2005 - three years after Maven's debut - became a farce of a match where he was quickly rolled up twice. A few months later, Maven was released.
Fun fact: After some lineup changes, Big Mother Thruster would rename itself Mercy Drive and release "Burn In My Light," the song Randy Orton used before "Voices." You know, the one that went "Hey!" over and over again? I guess it's not that fun.
