Lyrical Or Instrumental #1: Gail Kim - "Puppets On A String"
 

I'm interested in how the rest of you feel about the various themes over the years that have had both a lyrical and instrumental version, and which you generally prefer.

First of all we have Gail Kim's TNA theme.

Lyrical:

Instrumental:

Instrumental hands down, the one with the lyrics sounds horrible

Don't really like the lyrical, instrumental is way better

Instrumental version

Instrumental version usually is better except for maybe You're going down for the Undertaker.

If it's TNA, then instrumental. Always.

Now that you mention it, James Storm's is alright. But isn't that a real song and not just an entrance theme?

Whatever her current one is, is the better one. Don't think her current one has lyrics, but it sounds better than the version posted in here that doesn't have lyrics.

I honestly never noticed that those sounds during Gail Kim's entrance theme were words. That said, I'm going to pretend that they're just sounds, because I like that theme.

Oh, is the lyric one the current one?

Yeah, seems like just "sounds" on TV, and I like it. Listening to the words in that vid was pretty cringeworthy, though.

Yeah, the lyrical one is the current theme. If you pretend the words aren't words, it's definitely better than the instrumental. The lyrics themselves are pretty bad.
