Rusev may be a shell of what he once was, but his entrance music is still as great as ever. It's a total throwback to the music vindictive foreigners used in the 1980s, which is exactly what his character was for the better part of 2014 and going into 2015. His constant berating of Americans was simple yet effective as it always elicited heat from the audience. But before he started his shtick, he came out waving a Russian flag while the horns blasted in his theme song. It was the perfect kind of evil. He was relegated to midcard status following his feud with John Cena, but the theme's greatness remains. Hearing The New Day's Xavier Woods play it on his trombone recently made it that much cooler.
