QUESTION - Are Wrestler's theme songs being properly matched with their personna's?

QUESTION - Are Wrestler's theme songs being properly matched with their personna's?

In my opinion, no....not in all of the cases.

Case in point - Jack Swagger. Another example - Sheamus. I'm sure there are many other examples as well. I think this is one reason why fans might be having trouble relating to certain characters. The theme music for certain wrestlers simply do not match the theme....and as result, do NOT enhance or bolster the wrestler's character. Dolph Ziggler is yet another example. During the Attitude Era, the WWE did a TREMENDOUS with this. Every single wrestler's theme PERFECTLY matched with the person's character and gimmick....and as result, added more depth to the overall character. The impression I get today, is that most wrestler's theme simply do not match and/or are way too generic....and doesn't capture the ESSENCE of said character.

I think this is also one reason why we are seeing 'cookie cutter' heels in today's WWE. Heels are either

A) Big ugly monsters that destroy anything and everything (seriously....is there really THAT much difference between the 'characters' of Mike Knox, Sheamus, and even Snitsky during his final days?).

B) Average sized, good-looking guys that play the cocky yet cowardly heel. This is where we get our Dolph Ziggler's, Drew MacIntyre's, etc.
