10 Awesome WWE Entrance Themes That Went To Waste

9. Ezekiel Jackson

Ezekiel Jackson had a such an impressive physique that it was logical to assume Vince McMahon had him earmarked for a major singles push down the line in his WWE career. He started out as The Brian Kendrick's heavy on SmackDown in 2008, but he broke off on his own shortly thereafter and dominated the ranks in ECW, becoming the final ECW champion in history of the promotion. During his time in the Land of Extreme, Jackson debuted an all-new entrance theme simply entitled "Domination." If it sounded familiar, that's because an instrumental version was used for the "Brawl for All" pay-per-view during the Attitude Era. Adding lyrics made it sound ten times more badass and fit the intimidating looking Jackson to perfection. Sadly, Jackson was all style and no substance. His mic skills were essentially nonexistent and his in-ring ability was passable at best, so his stint as a singles star didn't last long at all. He floundered after losing the Intercontinental Championship, suffered an injury that put him on the shelf for almost two years and was released from his contract before he could return. To his credit, he has improved immensely as a worker in recent years and has been fun to watch in Lucha Underground, but his entrance theme there isn't nearly as cool as the one he had in WWE.
