WWE: 11 Stars Who Should Never Have Changed Entrance Themes
5. Rob Conway
La Resistance was a championship winning tag team that lasted from 2003 to 2005, and though they were no Legion of Doom or Demolition, they were over as pesky heels. The group was composed of Sylvain Grenier, Rene Dupree and Robert Conway, and while they achieved some success as a group, they all fell flat on their face on their own. That's not to say that they weren't all fairly talented, but the three men were given silly gimmicks, with perhaps Conway suffering the worst fate. When Conway broke out on his own, his name was shortened to Rob, and he became The Con Man, and despite not really conning anyone out of anything, he adopted this new character, which basically consisted of dressing like Buff Bagwell. The La Reistance theme no longer fit, but he should have kept it anyway, if only to grasp onto the success that the group had that he would perpetually fail to recapture on his own. Instead, he was given a new one that was strangely a rip-off of a Randy Newman song called "Look at Me." Sure, it was a pretty good impression of a bad Randy Newman song, but with it, he was doomed to remain a joke character, and unfortunately for him, Vince McMahon grew tired of the joke fast and let him go. And now, no one is looking at him.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
