5 Least Threatening WWE Entrance Themes

5. The Allied Powers

When Lex Luger and “The British Bulldog” Davey Boy Smith started tagging together as the Allied Powers in early 1995 with little fanfare or buildup, both men faced the grim prospect of putting their career aspirations on pause. Nothing says “creative has nothing for you” like a filler tag team with no direction. So began a lost weekend of muscle flexing and shallow patriotism, but, hey, at least we had the music, right? Hmm, now that you mention it…

Making their pay-per-view debut at WrestleMania XI in a winning effort against the Blu Brothers, audiences were treated to the Allied Powers’ new theme, a bizarre mashup of Luger’s latest WWE entrance music and “Rule, Britannia!”, an homage to Smith’s native UK.

Like much of the WWE’s New Generation era, the Allied Powers’ entrance music was a mess of clashing genres and obnoxious beats masquerading as rhythm. Aside from a failed title shot at In Your House 2, the team never quite clicked. After a loss to Men on a Mission and teasing an impending collision between Luger and Smith, the Allied Powers quietly surrendered in late summer 1995. Named in honour of the Anglo-American alliance during the Second World War, revisiting Luger and Smith’s Allied Powers will make you question everything and wonder why you’re not speaking German. Man in the High Castle, eat your heart out!
