Making an entrance: cue the driving music, start the flashing lights, and ignite the pyro, these are the 10 best entrances in wrestling today

Wrestling Digest, Feb, 2003 by Kevin Eck

3. WILLIAM REGAL

What is it about Regal that makes WWE always want to saddle him with the worst possible entrances? Remember the horrible "man's man" gimmick and the equally unfortunate music that went with it? The music for his "goodwill ambassador" character wasn't any better. But nothing says it's time to take a bathroom break like Regal's current music, which sounds like something out of a 1940s horror movie.

4. THE BIG SHOW

The bluesy entrance music just doesn't fit the Big Show's character, which is supposed to be that of a nasty giant. A little hard rock here would go along way. Then again, if WWE truly wanted music that accurately represents the Big Show, they'd come up with a tune that is slow, boring, and painful to listen to.

5. SHAWN MICHAELS

"The Heartbreak Kid" singing "I'm just a sexy boy, I'm not your boy toy," with the high-pitched chorus and the girls squealing was great when Michaels was a cocky, young heel in the '90s. But now that he's 37 and a babyface, it doesn't work. Male fans, no matter how much they may like Michaels, might feet that getting excited over this entrance music could raise questions about their masculinity--not that there's anything wrong with that.
