Jericho's music was established before his character was really developed. They stuck with it.

Benoit's music didn't have lyrics until crosspromotion. Half those songs have nothing to do with the wrestlers involved.

Now, with Jericho and Michaels, the songs were tied to the gimmick. Chris had the WALLS OF JERICHO, and HBK's whole gimmick was the HEARTBREAK KID (Sexy Boy). Both work. The only example that doesn't is the one for a promotion. Hurricane DOES say "Stand Back" in his promos, and with the tendency to tie in their gimmicks to the music in some way, it makes no sense to continue hammering away that it's really "stay in the back!" Occam's razor, baby. It makes no sense to overrationalise what is very obviously a conflict of accents.
Whatever, bitch.

I was proving the point that the argument that "because he never says 'Stay in the Back' it means the opening words can't be 'Stay in the Back'" is invalid.

I then used Jericho, Benoit and Michaels as examples. I didn't say that their music is stupid because they don't say the words that are used in their music, I was merely proving that catchphrases have nothing to do with entrance music.
