#2 Worst: Nakamura's theme

How do you take a classic and make it so awful?

Nakamura had perhaps the best theme in all of sports entertainment. And WWE took his fantastic theme and added vocals on top of it. We were dismayed by just how much the song lost its initial charm. We get that WWE perhaps doesn't want Nakamura to get cheered, but this was quite criminal.

You don't take a great piece of art and ruin it, whatever the circumstances may really be. It's like drawing a moustache on the Mona Lisa.
