10 Wrestlers Whose Theme Music Was More Over Than They Were

2. The Sandman

Of all the thousands of matches and dozens of championships accrued over decades, the only thing anyone remembers about The Sandman's occupation as a professional wrestler, is that he hit his head with a beer can and staggered his way through a crowd to the electric sounds of Enter Sandman.

Simply put, the 5:14 seconds of Motorhead's cover of Metallica's Enter Sandman is the beginning, middle and end of Jim Fullington's career in the wrestling business.

The most enthusiastically crowd participated sung entrance music of all time, the singing of Enter Sandman in ECW crowds, was an attraction unto itself. Sure, The Sandman was there too, bashing his head with a can of ale and carrying a Singapore cane with him, but as soon as the music ended, the fun was all but over.

While watching The Sandman cane all and sundry was entertaining, his worthless runs in WCW and WWE without his iconic theme music showed that perhaps no other entrance theme was imperative to a wrestler's career as much as The Sandman's was to his.
