https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sDMt19MkRk In 2001, a pre-A-Train Albert, Justin Credible, and an absolutely hated post-DX X-Pac came together to form X-Factor, one of the most maligned stables of all time. Given who was in the group, it's not hard to believe that they ended up making the Three Man Band look like The Shield. WWE's never been very good about choosing contemporary, quality music for their wrestlers and shows, and in the early 2000s, the company was obsessed with awful NuMetal acts like Kid Rock and Saliva - hence the association with Rock's protege, Uncle Kracker, who recorded X-Factor's theme. Fans called it one of the worst ever, and it helped make the group even more unpopular, leading to a lot of groans and changed channels when their TitanTron video would hit. As for me? I think the song is kinda catchy.
