Better music WCW, WWE or TNA?
 

So which company do you think has/had the best music WWE, WCW or TNA? I think WCW had alot of take-offs of popular music like DDP's sounded like Smells like Teen Spirit, Jeff Jarrett had a take-off of Cowboy, Saturn used the entrance that sounded like the Bueatiful People. WWE and TNA has some good ones too, I like Jeff Hardy's TNA music and the old WWE Three Minute Warning.

WWE has always had the best music.

wwe no question

Double Double E

WCW had a handful of great themes (Harlem Heat, Four Horsemen, nWo to name a few) but by far WWE has had the best. WCW's were too generic. WWE at least tried to match up themes with characters.

WWE. Not only were the themes better, but a lot of them were custom made for the wrestlers. Jim Johnston is awesome.

WCW had a few good and memorable themes.

TNA is just plain terrible. For a company who shits on WWE as often as they can and takes pride in being different than them, they sure like to make generic rip offs of former WWE wrestlers' themes.

Christian has some good music to, but then again for some reason Christian always has great music.

Yeah, 3 exceptions there. Jeff Hardy did his own, so it's not TNA written. I swear I read an interview where Christian says he has had input on all his themes since he went single.

Kurt Angle was coming in so they probably used all their music creativity on Kurt signing for TNA.

Also, MCMGs first theme, before they fagged it up 2 months later.

WWE definitely has better music. The only real TNA theme I really like is The Beautiful People's, even though it is a generic rock theme.

I forgot about Angle's theme. Fine. TNA has had one good one.

Jeff Hardy's TNA theme would be better if it had a different singer.... or no vocals at all. The music is good for a theme.

Jim Johnston is the best, he can write stuff that fit any caracters. And by the way, Christian's TNA theme is My last breath from Evanescence without lyrics.

Slightly retooled to avoid lawsuits too, just like the old WCW days.

WWE, fo' sho'.

WWE

WWE's music, as a whole, is superior. Sure, there's some generic-sounding shit in there, but for the most part the themes tend to go well with the characters and sound pretty good.

You guys can't count production library tracks that WCW or WWE used.

As far as original music goes, WWE wins out by a small margn. The few themes that Jimmy Hart did for WCW were great, but not as great as WWE's.

TNA's music is just... blech.

I dont know about ALWAYS the best

Kurt Angle's theme is a rip off. It's Lunatic Fringe by Red Ryder. Now it has some rapping over a remix of it.

TNA had some good music. LAX and 3LK were good.

Oh and Christian's is a rip off too of an Evanescence song I can't remember the name too. "My Last Breath" possibly.

I.R.S. never used that typewriter sound effects theme. It was a common misconception that he did use it, but he never actually did.

I believe you have put it the best. No matter how bad, or good a wrestler is in WWE atless they'll have the music to make them look that much better. WCW seemed to just have a cd on shuffle. Unless it was someone well knowen is a good way to put it, they all had music that really didn't sound any differant. TNA...Blah, all the themes are ripped off remixes of some other song.

BTW can someone tell me Jericho's theme from WCW? I recall the it was over with the fans.

Jericho's WCW theme was a rip-off of Even Flow by Pearl Jam without lyrics.

Also, I must say that even though Booker T's TNA music is a rip-off of his old theme, I quite like it:

Not great quality, but I'm too lazy to find a better one.

TNA messed up Christian's music by remixing it though.

There you go.

I think WCW's best original themes are Raven's and DDP's. There weren't many non-outsourced themes that I can think of, but those stick out.

Yea, same as the rest here...I think WWE is the best. There is really no doubt about it, as they've made original music for their wrestlers for years, and can't recall a wrestler using a remix theme song since the 80's.

Most of WCW and TNA's theme songs were generic remixes of better song with exception to stuff like nWo, AJ Styles, and 4 Horsemen.

WCW was the best by quite a while, alot were admittedly redone songs but they still kicked alot of ass. TNA music is usually awful by comparison.

WWE by a mile.

This really shouldn't even be a discussion...

WWE's music since Jim Johnson left the company has been mega shit though. Probably the worst of the 3.

When did Johnston leave the company?

Someone already coverd Kurt's theme song, and I'm pretty sure Jeff Hardy, much like Ron Killings, did his own theme music. But let's just focus on Jeff Harvey for a second.

Okay, I gotta admit, it's pretty much a remake with lyrics of another song, but when it was your own theme to begin with, m'eh.

Few months ago.

Wasn't DDP's theme a ripoff of Smells Like Teen Spirit?

Yes, and Raven's was a rip-off of Come As You Are. Hopefully, he was joking.

Jericho's was a rip-off of Evenflow.

Jim Johnston never left WWE. It was rumored, but was never true.

And yeah, DDP's was a rip-off (as was Raven's) but they were still pretty good.

Jericho's 2nd was a rip-off of "Evenflow" by Pearl Jam, but that's the production library's fault, not WCW's ;)

There is one WCW theme that I really liked, its Satan's sister, many wrestlers used it and it was a great riff.

ECW

Um, "Rollin'" by Limp Bizkit was used by Biker Taker for a while, and that was definitely 90's.

Rollin' wasn't a remix. And it came out in 2000.

I've heard nothing of Jim Johnston leaving the company.

Also, if he had been gone for just the past three months, honestly, how many new themes have been produced in that short time period? lol
