10 Wrestlers Whose Theme Music Was More Over Than They Were

Beginning 2014 as Leo Krugar, a militant South African heel, Raymond Leppan was repackaged in March as the Russell Brand inspired party organiser, Adam Rose.

Coming to the ring with an entourage of "Rosebuds", Rose's new entrance theme and catchy hook were a natural fit for the crooning regulars who comprised the NXT audience at Full Sail.

Always looking to participate in the performance, the NXT faithful's animated response to the theme caused WWE officials to pull the trigger on Rose and call him up to the main roster, merely weeks into his new gimmick in NXT.

Debuting on Raw with fewer Rosebuds, and even fewer interested punters, WWE had overlooked the fact that Rose's debut in NXT had been built on the back of four years in the local territory and a familiarity among fans in the area.

On Raw he was an unknown, with a dancing bunny and a quasi-British, quasi-gay gimmick.

Almost as soon as he had arrived, Rose's push was over. Unable to relate to a wider WWE audience, Rose was turned heel before eventually being released less than two years later following a domestic dispute.
