Apologies in advance if any themes are wrong or missing (I couldn’t find anything for ’87-’88 or 1995...). Anywho, you all know the drill by now. 7 days to vote, +1 green rep on your sheets for well-explained reasoning.

[itsmeJD]

I voted Deadly Game for the shitty rapping that took place later in the song, plus I loved this particular show and they played the god damn song so much that I had the chorus stuck in my head for days...

[Arashi Kage]

1st Theme - now that's "wrasslin" music. :y:

[DAMN iNATOR]

I feel like I need to borrow a line from Johnny 5 from Short-Circuit in RE: this thread

Needs more in-put!

[XCaliber]

Geez for a major PPV it's sure had it's share of crappy themes but i'd have to say "Get Through This" even though it was also used on nXt for a while.

[Nicky Fives]

Always for me..... 2002 was my favourite SS, Deadly Game theme a close second.....

[DLVH84]

Definitely the first one.

[Rhaps]

The first one, although it's not quite complete with Vince growling over the top of it:

"It's thaaaaa SURRVIIIIVARRRRR SERRRIES!"

[KyleEmmott]

Tick...Tick... Tick... BOOM

[Lock Jaw]

Making a shortlist, it is between:

'89-'93
1994
Deadly Game - 1998
Always - 2002
Spoilin' for a Fight - 2008

I think I will go ahead and give it to 2002.

[Emperor Smeat]

Bunch of great themes for SS but between the 1994 theme and "Always" from 2002, picked the 2002 SS theme.

[The Condor]

1998 Deadly Games is one of my favorite PPVs and the theme was pretty decent.

[James Steele]

Didn't they use the remix/updated version of Deadly Game by Theory of a Deadman? It is the same lyrics and everything, so I assume it was made for WWE:

Edit: Apparently, it was used at No Way Out on year.

[James Steele]

I went with "Always" since the song worked well in the video packages, and Survivor Series 2002 is my favorite Survivor Series.

[James Steele]

Here is the whole match for your enjoyment:

[Seth82]

either Deadly Game or Always for me.

hmm I'll go with Deadly Game.

[CSL]

def the first one, just needs Vince shouting "THE EPITOME OF TAG TEAM COMPETITION!" over it

[DAMN iNATOR]

Making a shortlist, it is between:

'89-'93
1994
Deadly Game - 1998
Always - 2002
Spoilin' for a Fight - 2008

I think I will go ahead and give it to 2002.

I’m honestly kind of surprised anyone even considered voting for the ’08 theme. I dunno, maybe it’s just me, but I always associate that song with (I think) Michael Cole saying one night around that time in ’08, something like “John Cena is SPOILING for a fight!”. Facepalmed so hard when I heard that.

[Lock Jaw]

I just like AC/DC. I too think of Michael Cole saying that Cena is Spoiling for a Fight a million times, though.
