10 WWE Superstars Whose Music Was Cooler Than They Are

3. The Great Khali

Who is the worst wrestler in the WWE? It's a tough call today, but from 2006-2014, one name would come up more than any other if a random wrestling crowd were asked that question: The Great Khali. To be fair to the Indian-born man-mountain, he wasn't hired because of his wrestling skill. Being well over seven feet in height might have been his only marketable skill, but it was all he needed. Representing a potentially huge market in his homeland of India didn't hurt, either.

Given the low regard in which Khali is held by wrestling fans, it's easy to forget how awesome his theme 'Land Of Five Rivers' was. It was a bhangra-inspired track traditional enough to suit his origins, but cool and punchy enough to feel in place in the wrestling business. The WWE clearly felt it was a useful trick, because they did it again with Jinder Mahal, whose Punjabi rap owes a lot to Khali's theme.
