10 WWE Wrestlers Whose Theme Songs Were The Best Thing About Them

7. Drew McIntyre

Like Sheamus, Drew McIntyre was a tall star on the European indy scene with a good look, and WWE snatched him up. Also like Sheamus, the company pushed him way too hard right off the bat, and he was rejected by fans.

Part of McIntyre's packaging involved a unique entrance that used the song "Broken Dreams" by Shaman's Harvest. Fans loved the song, a dark and moody number that heralded trouble coming, but McIntyre was just another untalented stiff who was getting a push because he was tall.

Making things worse was the fact that Vince McMahon referred to McIntyre on TV as a future world champion, all but forcing the company to give him push after push. An alleged disciplinary infraction kept him from winning the Money in the Bank match at WrestleMania 26, but he was still a constant part of WWE television.

Eventually, WWE had no choice but to pull back on McIntyre's push, relegating him primarily to Superstars. A funny thing soon happened, though - McIntyre actually started to get good. He was soon winning praise for his performances, but office perception is a hard thing to change.

McIntyre finally did get another shot, but that's a story for another time.
