Scott,
Seth Rollins' theme sounds like the musical version of clip art. Did WWE cut back on the budget for entrance music, too?
Howard
Yeah, ever since Jim Johnston moved into the movie division the entrance music has gone to SHIT. Their in-house ripoff band does a decent job pumping out crap for them to sell on iTunes, but really what was the last memorable theme that they came up with as a company? Ziggler's maybe?
I liked Randy Orton's old theme
ReplyDelete"Hey! Nothing you can say!" Or however it went
The Real Americans theme is great. It would've attained a much larger status if they gave Cesaro the music and gave him a push.
ReplyDeleteSadly, Vince McMahon was all too happy to hand the brass ring over to Cesaro, but Cesaro couldn't man-up and take it desite Vinny offering it to him on a silver platter.
ReplyDeleteThe Shield's music was good; the crowd usually popped for it, but the recycled version they gave Reigns is meh.
ReplyDeleteFandango had a great intro. Emma, too. But I'm also probably the only person on here that likes both of them, so your mileage may vary.
ReplyDeleteWonder how much it would cost them to license AC/DC for ambrose
ReplyDeletereal americans, shield, and bray wyatts have all been good.
ReplyDeleteDean Ambrose's theme actually fits him very well.
Too bad her exit wasn't quite as smooth.
ReplyDeleteproblem with many themes from 2005-2012 was that they were so generic and could have fit at least 10 different people.
ReplyDeleteSami Zayn's is pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI actually really enjoyed Balor's entire shtick, esp the music.
ReplyDeleteCesaro actually had a good theme in 2012. This shit he has now is awful.
ReplyDeleteRusev's music is pretty great for his character. I actually think a lot of the newer themes are good.
ReplyDeleteagree with you about rusev theme
ReplyDeleteColby Lopez likes metalcore, metalcore sucks, i.e. Seth Rollins has a shitty theme.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Bray's entrance is great. And both Harper's and Rowan's are tight... i can't say I agree with Scott on this one.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't Jim Johnston still create some themes?
ReplyDeleteI think themes have improved lately, actually. Some of the CFO$ ones are pretty good. Balor, Generico, Rusev/Lana, Paige, Ambrose, most NXT ones and Brie Mode Wawawawa Fat Dick of course.
Sami's theme is so great. Bayley's has grown on me, as it fits her character well. Swagger, the Vaudevillains' first theme, there are some good ones.
ReplyDeleteSami's is so fucking Ultra-Babyface and awesome
ReplyDeleteNah, they're going to use "Dogs of War" for the Shield reunion. But only because of the line "Face The Game". So at least we know how Shield 2.0 is going to end.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, "Dirty Deeds" without the vocals would be awesome. It just starts and then it just ends. Would fit for him well.
WWE didn't make Bray's music. Bray found it and got the WWE to buy it.
ReplyDeleteShield had a great coming-to-kick-your-ass theme. CFO$ has a couple of great ones in NXT with Sami and Balor
ReplyDeleteBayley's music fits her absolutely perfectly. The CFO themes biggest drawback is the repetitiveness because they all just loop over and over and over. Mojo Rawley has a good theme too.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with those two. Balor's would fit in on a heavy metal radio station, and Sami Zayn's is tremendously fun. To me it sounds like a knockoff of Mighty Mighty Bosstones' The Rascal King. It's just so different from the generic cock rock that the main roster uses.
ReplyDeleteRollins and Ambrose theme suck. They scream jobber, not star. They need to change their theme music ASAP. Music can make or break the character
ReplyDeleteWWE Music is known as Stephanie Music Publishing.
ReplyDeleteI never even knew this until now by doing a bit of googling of wwe music.
They need to let guys pick their own music and pay for the songs.
ReplyDeleteBayley's old theme was great, but the more recent "Katy Perry"-ish one kind of sucks.
ReplyDelete"Brie Mode" is one of the worst WWE themes I've ever heard. It's the musical equivalent to shoving a sharp pencil in my ear.
ReplyDeleteDean Ambrose's theme is very similar to Chris Benoit's old WWF theme. I'm surprised more people haven't noticed it.
ReplyDeleteSasha Banks.
ReplyDeleteI was being facetious with Brie Mode. But, it's gone to the so bad it's humorous range for me.
ReplyDeleteI'm listening to it right now.
ReplyDeleteCFO$ is getting better, but they're missing a key component, a second verse.
ReplyDeleteI've noticed that it sounds very similar to Stone Cold's theme.
ReplyDeleteIm pretty sure No Holds Barred was a Shane Production...
ReplyDeleteYes googled it and it is shane productions
ReplyDeleteThat made ROH so much fun back in the day. I still start chanting "best in the world" if I hear "Final Countdown."
ReplyDeleteGod help me but my favorite entrance theme of like the past 5 years was Three Man Band.
ReplyDeleteI can actually see Balor entering the ring to that theme in a WrestleMania main event. He should never change it.
ReplyDeleteThe titantron budget has gone to shit too. Everyone used to get unique effects/graphics/footage, now every titantron video is just Microsoft Word default fonts of the wrestler's name, footage of the wrestler entering the ring, and fans. Or in the case of Rusev, stock photos of Russian things.
ReplyDeleteEven his pre-Real Americans theme, which was just Dean Malenko's old theme with rap lyrics, was better!
ReplyDeleteNo shame, it was a catchy tune for a fun gimmick.
ReplyDelete
