10 Ways To Successfully Build A WWE Babyface

5. Entrance Music

Returning to the aforementioned Scott Hall/Razor Ramon, another thing that helped him get over was his look and his entrance music. Hall has told the story about his buddy Kevin Nash telling Razor the reason why his character would get over was simple: "You got cool ring music", Nash told the Bad Guy. Nash was likely half-joking when he said it, but he's got a point. Entrance music matters. The cooler the music, the bigger the star, or so it is perceived. The best stars will get over without a good theme song (read: Daniel Bryan), but isn't the job of the WWE to help position their talents to succeed? It starts with the first impression, and that's the music. Think of some of the best entrance music over the years: The nWo, D-Generation X, Chris Jericho, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Bret Hart. All of them were major components of the character's identity and, though they may have been big time heels at certain points, all of these names had some of the largest fan support in wrestling history. The difficulty comes with the fact that WWE haven't always had their finger on the pulse of what's hip. They like to think they do, but more often than not the company is late to the party when it comes to what's cool in pop culture and that includes music. A good entrance sound sets the tone for the character and if fans are going to cheer for the superstar being presented, they have to like their theme song.
