Medal wins out for Kurt Angle in the last round, putting it in the tournament.

Our next contestant will hopefully Save_Us from the evils of bad wrestling. He is Y2J, Chris Jericho!

Note: A lot of his themes have subtle differences, not counting the intros. I did my best to get varied choices.

What exactly is the difference between #2 and #3?

The Jayman

King of My World. His WCW ones were crap and all his WWE ones are the same but with different intros

Fixed. The one I put up now has some of the instrumentals more prominent. I was having trouble loading some videos before.

Thought I was the only one I was a kid when he had it but it really grew on me

I voted Break The Walls Down #2. Hearing the intro reminds of the good ol' days when Jericho was gaining steam, and eventually got red hot. This is by and far my favorite incarnation of Jericho at the time. From the time he "beat" Triple H for the belt up to his Undisputed Title run.

I really like the ripoff as well. It really seemed to fit his character as well. His other themes never seemed to fit him as well.

I really wished that when he reinvented himself in 2008, saying Y2J was dead and gone, that he would have got some new music to go with it.

King of My World. I was playing Pearl Jam on college radio when One Crazed Anarchist was being used and really wasn't feeling it.

His WCW heel theme is an automatic win for me because that was when Chris Jericho was at his absolute best. I still think Jericho as a heel in WCW was one of the greatest characters ever, and it was then that I became a lifelong fan of Mr. Jericho.

I went for the first option, due in part to it being so bad- Its actually kind of good.

Break the Walls Down #2

King of My World was only ever used at Survivor Series 2002, if it hasn't already been mentioned and anyone's interested.

And it was a live version there, IIRC.

It was.

And I didn't include it in the voting BECAUSE it was only used once, but knew people WOULD vote for it so threw it in the first post.

I think Jericho's original WWF theme was the best of the lot; too bad its shitty quality.

Jericho's main WCW theme was surprisingly good, too.

Break The Walls Down V3 is my favorite but on this poll is listed as 2 for some reason. The theme he had leading up to becoming Undisputed Champion differed from the theme featured on WWE the Music Volume 4 which doesn't appear to be there. Doesn't sound that much from his debut theme actually but minus the countdown and one of the verses is completely different.

I like his WWF debut them the best. But I would almost take the current Jerishow theme over all of them since I love the intro of it. Welll.........BREAK THE WALLS DOWN!!

Cool King

01-05-2010, 04:42 PM

I voted "Other".

I prefer his current theme "Break The Walls Down" (V5/Intro Cut), which isn't his 15th Theme like the video says, it's actually his 11th Theme.

Debut version.

He had one of the best debuts ever in WWF/WWE RAW history. Crowd went crazy once "Jericho" flashed on the screen and then he showed up.

Dave Youell

He also used 'Don't you wish you were me' for about 3 shows

BTW, I'm kinda sad to not see an apparent return to the "Ayatollah" persona considering that Fozzy made the Royal Rumble theme this year.

DAMN iNATOR

01-07-2010, 03:56 PM

I know it's not a individual theme, but I think there's one other theme that deserves Honorable Mention even though like I said, it's a tag theme, but I don't care...

JeriShow's 2nd Theme - Crank The Walls Down by Maylene and The Sons of Disaster (STUDIO EDIT)

"ONCE MORE, WITH FEELING!" for old times' sake. Goodbye JeriShow, it was nice knowing you, and it cranked on down all too soon for this observer.

I'm appaulled that a rendition of BTWD did not take this it's very baffling to say the least.

To forward Y2J's conspiracy - BTWD would have won if all the minorly different versions had been voted on collectively.
