Ok, so after a late night YouTube session going from old theme to old theme, I ask why theme songs today are such garbage and not memorable? From Harlem Heat to either of the Hart's old themes to the Horsemen theme and/or Arn's theme to even Juventud's. They were all really good, and you could pick them out even after a short time. Now, it seems like WWE could buy any song they want and TNA should have a huge well to draw from for just generic hooks, being that the music industry has bottomed out. They should be able to buy music rights for cheap for decent simple instrumentals. The only two themes I've liked from TNA are Madison Rayne's and the original LAX theme. WWE is better, but not by a lot, or by as much as they should be. I actually preferred Punk's old theme to his Cult of Personality re-hash that the E previously used for an Austin video.

Jim Johnston is still the music guy for WWE and in recent years, it's been hit or miss I guess. Sheamus' theme is perfect (Kofi's is good, too). Others, not so much (Cody Rhodes, Sin Cara).

TNA's music is crap, too reminiscent of the basic, droll WCW themes (with the exception of a few....Sting, nWo, Goldberg, Harlam Heat, Horsemen).

For example, I know Hogan's TNA theme is a rip of the nWo music....but to me, it sounds too similar to Eddie Guerrero's WCW them. lol

Punk personally chose Cult of Personality and pretty much forced WWE to pay a lot of money to license it.

Cody's WAS good, when it sounded like a Def Leppard song during his Dashing Cody Rhodes days...then they changed it and now it sucks.

Sheamus's if fantastic...Its a Shameful thang, lobster head!!! TOO MANY LIMES, TOO MANY LIMES!!

/those are the lyrics and you can't convince me otherwise.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

TNA has one good theme song...Madison Rayne.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I thought I was the only one who like the Madison Rayne music.

I also prefered Punk's first theme, but during the whole Summer of Punk rehash/pipe bomb era he wanted to switch to his old indie theme, so from that persepctive it made sense because it was a nod to his past so I can live with it.

Maybe one day, after his face turn, Daniel Bryan will headline WrestleMania is Philly and walk down to "Final Countdown". I'd mark out like a retard.

 

[FedEx227]

I really do miss the Killswitch Engage song he had. It fit more of a "major professional wrestling theme"

This one right?

I'd die from marking out, for sure.

Imagine all of a Philly crowd singing Final Countdown.

And, Madison Rayne's theme is fantastic.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Cult of Personality > the Killswitch Engage song.

 

[FedEx227]

Yeah, that opening is a pro wrestling opening to me, starts out real impactful, can't help but get your attention. Cult is fine, I just really like that theme for him.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

This Fire Burns was the best theme in wrestling for a while there, because it fit the character perfectly and like Fed is trying to convey it really "popped" like a theme should.

Reflecting on it, i'm not sure it fits the current incarnation of Punk. It worked great when he had long hair and did the muay thai wrist rolls and was the young energetic babyface guy. Smarmy asshole heel Punk is probably better off with Cult of Personality.

 

[JimLeavy59]

Madison Rayne has a great theme song its really the only female wrestlers theme I actually liked.

Yeah, it's just a drop-off. I like Cult of Personality, but Fire Burns was just epic. As mentioned, it fit him so well and it really bumped the energy level the second it hit. I like Cult better as a song, but as a theme Fire Burns is pretty top notch.

Rayne's theme is very popular on the net. You're hardly alone on that one.

You go to hell, sir. WCW had some decent themes, if generic. Wolfpac theme FTW. TNA just seems like they take about 30 seconds a year to choose everyone's theme and make their entrance video. Turrible.

I was actually really close to mentioning Seamus' theme. Very fitting also.
