As an everyday entrance, the best would have to be The Sandman. And I don't say that just because of the ONS clip. ANY TIME Enter Sandman hit in the real ECW, the crowd went nuckin' futs! Part of the charm is the song, which is why it's not the same with some TNA or WWE knock off, and the WCW "Hardcore Hak" theme was not even close.
Honestly, the first time I ever saw Hardcore TV. I was flipping channels at dark-thirty one Saturday night and saw a wrestling ring and thought "wonder what this is?". They were in a venue so shitty, the ceiling tiles had to be taken out where the ring was set up. I was like "What the fuck is this shit?" I don't even remember the opponent. All I remember is hearing Enter Sandman, seeing this guy smoking, drinking, and caining his way to the ring, and I got about as hype as the crowd. ECW had a new fan.

The thing about the Hardcore Hak theme is that it was actually Steve Mongo McMichael's theme who is one of my top ten least favorites ever. Sandman had some decent matches in WCW though with Raven and Bigelow. Enter Sandman is a good entrance theme and it worked so well for him and the crowd did always get hyped up.
