Throughout his tenure in WWE, Paul "The Big Show" Wight had one of the most memorable entrance themes in the history of the business. At the very least, it had one of the most memorable openings.

"WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL... Well, it's the BIG SHOOOOOOOOW!"

Well, it couldn't be the "BIG SHOOOOOOOOOW!" until he actually adopted that name. When he originally moved from WCW (where he was simply The Giant) to the WWF, he started out using his own name - just like he's doing in AEW now. That's why he had a totally different theme song - called "Massacre." Needless to say, he didn't use it for very long.

It wasn't long before Mr. Wight took the name "Big Show" and the WWF decided to give him a new song (Fun fact: When I was a kid, I legitimately thought Big Show's theme was sung by Eddie Vedder).

Jump forward a number of years and Luke Gallows needed a theme song once he was no longer in the Straight Edge Society (or Festus).

It would be nearly a decade later when Gallows would return to WWE, along with his Bullet Club teammate from Japan, Karl Anderson, and finally get some entrance theme music of his own.
