Professional wrestling is as much theatrics as it is physical exhibition, and a wrestler's entrance to the squared circle can have as big an impact as his ability in the ring. The best wrestling entrances have to have the right music, pyrotechnics, and personality. If the fans don't react (whether positively or negatively) to wrestler's introduction, they probably won't react to them in the ring. These are some of the best entrances ever in professional wrestling.

The Rock Goes Hollywood
- {{credit|Kenbothe}}:
- When The Rock left the WWE to break into acting, many fans felt he was turning his back on the business. When Rock returned to the ring, the fans let him know how they felt. Set to face Hulk Hogan at No Way Out, The Rock arrived with a brand new "Hollywood" entrance. Once the fans figured out who it was that was coming out, man did they let him have it with a deafening chorus of boos.

Triple H Played to the Ring by Motorhead
- {{credit|Kenbothe}}:
- As if Triple H's entrance wasn't cool enough already, WWE invited rock legends Motorhead to play "The Game" live at WrestleMania as Triple H made his way to the ring. Motorhead would return the following WrestleMania to perform the song live a second time.

Wrong Way Jericho
- {{credit|Kenbothe}}:
- During the last few years of WCW, Chris Jericho became known for his charismatic personality and comedic performance. When Jericho pushed for a shot at Goldberg's title, he began to poke fun at Goldberg and his "epic" entrances, which would begin with Goldberg coming out of his dressing room and being led to the arena by security. Jericho's version had him being accompanied to the ring by a "crack security team" of a "Jerichoholic Ninja" and a man named Rufus. But this particular time, Jericho gets a little lost, resulting in one of the funniest segments in WCW history.

Hogan vs. Sting
- {{credit|Kenbothe}}:
- It was the dream match everyone had waited for. The NWO's reign of terror over WCW forced Sting into exile. Sting would eventually return from the shadows a changed man, ready to take on NWO leader Hollywood Hogan. With Michael Buffer doing the announcing honors, Hogan made his way to the ring with Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Child" as his theme. This was followed by Sting, who made one of the most epic entrances ever seen in WCW.

Shawn Michaels Stops the Show
- {{credit|Kenbothe}}:
- Would we expect anything less from the "Heartbreak Kid," the "Showstopper," "Mr. WrestleMania?" Shawn Michaels is famous for going all out anytime he steps in the ring. This time, he took it to the heavens at WrestleMania. HBK definitely knows how to make an entrance.

A Mini Ring for a Giant Man
- {{credit|Brad}}:
- Though not exactly an entrance, this is one of the most memorable exits from a wrestling ring. Only Bobby Heenan would have the guts (or stupidity) to slap around Andre the Giant. Following Andre and Haku's loss to Demolition at WrestleMania VI, Heenan blamed the big man for the defeat, and made the biggest mistake of his life when he struck the giant in the face. Andre's eyes widened, and he manhandled both Haku and Heenan around the ring. Furious (and probably hungry), Andre made sure he wouldn't be stuck walking back to the dressing room, throwing Haku and Heenan out of the aisle cart. Much to the delight of the 67,000 fans at the SkyDome that night, Andre rode back alone. Clearly, there is never enough room for anyone with Andre in a ring cart.

Kurt Angle: Got Milk?
- {{credit|Brad}}:
- With Stone Cold Steve Austin leading the WCW/ECW Alliance, the WWE needed someone to take charge and represent them--and who better than the "Olympic Hero," Kurt Angle? Angle made his presence felt here, rudely interrupting a celebration the Alliance held in Austin's honor. To add insult to injury, Angle "ripped off" Austin's own beer truck entrance back from 1999, using a milk truck instead. He would go on to defeat Austin for the WWE Championship not long after.

The Ultimate Comeback
- {{credit|Brad}}:
- Hulk Hogan had his hands full at the end of his match with Sid Justice at WrestleMania VIII. Papa Shango came down to help Sid, and they both pummeled Hogan in what was billed as Hogan's "retirement match." Suddenly, a familiar theme song blared through the speakers, and a charged--albeit slightly slimmer--Ultimate Warrior ran down the aisle and saved the day. It was one of the most surprising endings to a WrestleMania ever, even though neither Hogan nor Warrior would be in the WWE by the time the year was over.

Kennedy!!!...Kennedy
- {{credit|Kenbothe}}:
- Mr. Kennedy has already created one of the best entrances since coming to the WWE. His ring announcer gimmick further exemplifies his ability on the mic, topping it off with his own microphone that is lowered from the ceiling once he hits the ring. Mr. Kennedy has the makings of a huge wrestling superstar.

Save Us Y2J
- {{credit|Kenbothe}}:
- For weeks, WWE aired cryptic promos during Raw that hinted at something big. Rumors swirled around the internet as to what the "break the code" messages meant, until it was finally revealed that Chris Jericho had returned after being gone for over two years. One of the most anticipated returns was accompanied by one of the greatest superstar entrances of all time. Break the walls down!

The Undertaker Returns
- {{credit|Kenbothe}}:
- The Undertaker has had one of the most dramatic and theatrical entrances in wrestling history. When the lights go out and the bell toles, everyone knows who is about to appear. The Undertaker has been a WWE staple since 1990, but many fans would agree that his entrance still gives them chills. Undertaker's entrance from WrestleMania XX arguably stands as his best, as he made his long awaited return to face his brother Kane, the man who buried him alive months before.

Stone Cold Rides Again
- {{credit|Kenbothe}}:
- A wrestling crowd doesn't get any more pumped than when they hear the glass break and Stone Cold Steve Austin makes his way to the ring. To go even further, the Rattlesnake often chooses to make his entrance via an assortment of vehicles, including a Zamboni, beer truck, and an ATV.
