10 WWE Stars Who Gambled On A New Entrance Theme

5. X-Pac Goes Krackers

X-Pac's most recognisable singles theme ('Make Some Noise') was pretty good, if inadvertently funny; more or less the D-Generation X theme with only the slightest "bespoke" hip-hop-leaning variation, the lyrics didn't quite capture the brilliant essence of the performer.

"Who's gonna kick your ass? X-Pac!"

The slender X-Pac was the guy who, as the 1-2-3 Kid, was so great at getting his ass kicked that he was used as the litmus test of whether an aspiring pro wrestler was worth a sh*t. As X-Pac, he was often the runt who needed his stable, or Kane, to save said his ass.

At least the threat of an ass-kicking is vaguely germane to pro wrestling; the theme adopted or imposed on him during the X-Factor days, which were probably as painful to X-Pac as getting said ass torn in two, was, yes, ass: the weird wave-your-hands-slowly-in-the-air summer jam of an intro was so immortally bad and incongruous that the rest of the song could have banged, and it wouldn't have mattered. The random slotting in of 'X-FACTOR' was very much 'This is a wrestling theme, remember', and elsewhere, this was as douchey as Justin Credible's mugging.

It was therefore a perfect fit for the stable, but the stable was ass.
