10 Weird Times WWE Superstars Shared The Same Theme

8. Kerwin White/Michael Cole

Chavo Guerrero must want the entire world to forget about his descent into racism-tinged bizarreness back in 2005.

As Kerwin White, Chavo played a middle-class white dude (seemingly stuck in the 1950s) who looked down on ethnic minorities. It was as horrendous as it sounds, and was mercifully short-lived. The only good thing about Kerwin was his Johnston-penned entrance track, 'Never Thought My Life Could Be This Good'.

Once Guerrero scrapped the White character and returned to his roots, it seemed WWE's Frank Sinatra-lite goodness would never be heard again. Fans of the crooner needn't have worried, because the promotion brought it back in 2011 for none other than Michael Cole. Yep, 'Voice Of WWE' Michael Cole.

In the spirit of recycling resources, WWE elected to have Cole use the same theme as a golf-playing bigot who denounced his own Hispanic heritage. Somehow, nobody stopped to think that someone out there might make a connection between WWE announcer and token racist gimmick.
