[Attitude99]

I Love Jimi Hendrix

Hogan nWo Theme

[Juan]

Voodoo Chile

[Rammsteinmad]

They're all pretty crap to be honest.

[Juan]

Jimi Hendrix, crap? Blasphemy.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Whatcha gonna do if you don't vote for Real American Brother? Big Boot and a Legdrop to all of you dudes! Brother! Dude! Brah! Bro! My man! Big Guy! Brother!

What's a Titatron brother? YouTube fail, dude.

[thedamndest]

As just a song, Hendrix. As a wrestling theme song, Real American.

[Loose Cannon]

Real American is a classic and the opening part of that theme where there is no music yet and the singer is just saying "I am a real american, fight for the rights of every man" still gives me chills

[parkmania]

Real American. The ONLY other choice is Voodoo Chile, unless someone is just being a douche.

[Loose Cannon]

had to post it. this is my favorite. lol Hogan on the strings

[Supreme Olajuwon]

[Lock Jaw]

This.

I don't like Hogan, but I still find myself humming Real American occasionally.

[thedamndest]

I think we have a quote button for that type of thing, Supreme.

[thedamndest]

This guy didn't feel like "going advanced" I'll bet.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I think we have a quote button for that type of thing, Supreme.

You're not the boss of me.

[Xero]

lol

[Tazz Dan]

As just a song, Hendrix. As a wrestling theme song, Real American.







:shifty:

[Tazz Dan]

Seriously though, that is my exact thought on things.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Tazz Dan.

[VSG]

Wow! Just Wow! I played all the songs in order and then came to the TNA one:'(

Real American original fits the guy- and his balls!

[The One]

Voodoo Child/Chile

It's a damn good song, and not that bad as an entrance theme either. As for Real American, truthfully I'd take American Made over Real American. I have NEVER understood how anyone can stomach the song. Everything about it is terrible. At least the intro to American Made is kind of catchy. Plus, by the time Hogan made it to WCW I had just plain stopped caring, where as when he was in WWE I legit hated him and his song made me want to throw things.

TOVO Fact: Tovo gets steak burritos when he goes to Chipotle.

:y:

[thedamndest]

Surely this post and your subsequent one were way more time consuming than just going advanced would have been initially.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

-edit-

[TheFallenOneX]

Real american is probably the greatest wrestling theme of all time IMO

[Loose Cannon]

hey, can't argue with that. by the way, I just made your red dot turn green

[DAMN iNATOR]

Hmm, no Stars and Stripes Forever or Hulk Hogan's Theme? Oh well...I went against my first instincts and voted for Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)

Also, here's the actual Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) theme of Hogan's, without the nWo vocals and stuff in the background...

Not to be a dick or anything, the original just sounds better (IMHO)is all.

[Lavel]

I had to go with Hulks newest theme all because i liked the nWo and the theme is a sound alike

The original WCW version had the nWo stuff in the background. Not to be a dick or anything, but you're wrong.

[Theo Dious]

You know, for some reason I always thought it sounded like Schiavone was singing "American Made."

[Theo Dious]

And does ANYONE in TNA who came from somewhere else not have a theme that's a total ripoff of their old theme?

[Xero]

Even The Band theme sounds like a terrible rip-off of Rockhouse.

It's like the midi version of the midi version of Rockhouse.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It was from an PSX version of WCW Thunder the video game.

[Poit]

I'm gonna go with Voodoo Chile.

[DaVe]

They're all pretty crap to be honest.

This guy doesn't know music.

[AKin3D]

As just a song, Hendrix. As a wrestling theme song, Real American.

This

[Kalyx triaD]

Voodoo Chile's the only one that makes me wanna pose like Hulk. The others are meh.

[Anybody Thrilla]

As just a song, Hendrix. As a wrestling theme song, Real American.

[jettson80]

I do believe the scene at the end of "Eye of the Tiger" is one of the gayest things I've ever seen.

[jettson80]

Yeah, I watched it 'till the end.

[The Jayman]

Real American gets my vote

[Rammsteinmad]

They're all pretty crap to be honest.

This guy doesn't know music.

I'm a music student.

Unfortunately like 6 billion other people I have my own thoughts and opinions though. I apologise that mines different to yours. :wave:

[Supreme Olajuwon]

As an educated music student could you please point out why Jimi Hendrix is crap?

[Rammsteinmad]

Because his music just simply doesn't tickle my fancy. There doesn't need to be a scientific explanation for something aesthetic.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Well I figured since you are a music student you could break it down for us.

[Rammsteinmad]

Nah. :p

[The Gold Standard]

Real American is the greatest theme in wrestling history

[DAMN iNATOR]

The original WCW version had the nWo stuff in the background. Not to be a dick or anything, but you're wrong.

I never said it didn't have the nWo stuff in the background, I do recall it, I just like Hogan's post-WWE nWo theme (in other words, the straight-up Hendrix song) better than the WCW theme with the nWo theme mixed in there.

Like the old saying goes, there's no accounting for taste, with all due respect, of course, Supreme.

[James Steele]

I didn't grow up in the 80s, so I don't have an emotional attachment to Real American. I always felt like Voodoo Chile had the "epic feel" to it that did Hulk Hogan justice and it was always badass.
