Cool theme and yes - I think think that theme was a good fit for the 'biker/tough guy' Palumbo.

I mean....I dunno. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE the song, but I still don't know if it fits Sheamus one-to-one.

To me - the theme doesn't really scream MONSTER or DOMINATING (which is what Sheamus is supposed to be). To me, the theme sounds like something Chris Jericho's character from 2000 would have used if Jericho was Irish. Having said that - I agree with what others are saying in this thread (i.e. Anybody Thrilla), and that theme's can grow on someone over time.

Here is one suggestion though: Before someone's theme starts, why not have some have some kind of 'voice' indicating that it's truly is THAT person's
theme? For instance - when Carlitto's music hits, it says, "I spit in the face of people that don't like to be cool." Or even Mr. Kennedy's former song. The Rock is yet another example, as was Eddie Guerrero.

You forgot a couple that did that recently:

Sheamus is Irish.

But I don't think all the themes are that bad. I think most of them fit.

Some that don't fit are Kofi's now that he's no longer a Jamiacian. Jack Swagger's is ok I think, it's fits him more now that he's telling people to "get on your knees".

I think The Miz's theme is just fine for him though giving him a new theme wouldn't harm him at all and Sheamus' theme fits him alot, as does Ziggler's theme.

I'm happy with McIntyre's theme. I'm glad he's not got Bagpipes in his theme and Tartan on his attire. I don't really like it when the WWE stereotype there wrestlers. I was actually quite surprised when McIntyre debued and he didn't have Bagpipes in his theme or anything like that.

Same with Burchill, I was happy he didn't have a stereotypical English gimmick where he wore a Bowler hat, a Monocle and sipped tea when he returned after his Pirate gimmick.

When some cites a few examples, they are not required to list every single example.

Atleast the last time I checked? :?:

Too bad his theme is a production track. :-\
