Sucks too, I was at a funeral home last night and I kept getting this insane urge to Pedigree and RKO people. I almost stopped at a toy store on the way there to pick up one of those foam-and-plastic title belts.
I did look pretty sharp though. |

The Evolution gang beatings were always cool up until the point Batista got them ready for the Batista bomb...it always looked like he was mounting them. Then H would strip off his shirt and...well, the whole thing was a bit...

I miss Evolution. Should have been led by Orton after canning HHH and Batista never should have gotten pushed that quickly. And they should have recruited a new member.

When Christian first turned on Edge and switched to the 'At last your on your own' theme, he had a slighty different one for a few weeks which I thought was better than the one he then used for a few years or so.
BTW, if anyone has that theme or knows where I could get it from, I'd love you forever ![]() |

How many themes did Koko B. Ware really need? And why don't you get good old-fashioned, gimmick-suited entrances themes, like 'I Am The Mountie' nowadays??

That's not the same. Having a little soundbite at the start of a song isn't the same as having a song ABOUT the wrestler.
'All-American Boys' (Rougeaus), 'I Am The Mountie' (Mountie), 'Sexy Boy' (Shawn Michaels), 'Demolition', 'Jive Soul Bro' (Slick), 'Hard Time' (Big Bossman), Koko B. Ware's tunes etc. They all suited the wrestler. |

dude, don't be so hung up on the old days that you act like things are different that aren't.
How about John Cenas theme? Or how about a few years back, Jerichos and The Rocks. Triple H's current and old music are about him. Evolutions was. RVDs is called one of a kind for a reason. If I went down the roster I'm sure I'd find plenty of wrestlers whose songs are about their character. It's just not as cheese based. |

Big Show's was, too, but I don't know if that constitutes "nowadays."

No, they're just not as fun, that's all. And some of those I mentioned are absolute classic tunes. And some of the more recent ones designed specifically for the wrestler (The Game, Break The Walls Down, No Chance In Hell) are also classics. It's a winning formula, so why send, for example, Kenny Dykstra out there with some generic rock riff when he could gain so much additional personality simply from a well executed entrance song? It's just a waste.

Because wrestling for the most part isn't as gimmick based as it was in that time. Kenny Dykstra, what would his song be?
Maybe thats just a bad example, but since wrestlers aren't as gimmick based and it's not the 80's, the music is gonna follow suit. As for the ones that still have songs about them, they're more fitting of the persona than the gimmick. |

Yeah...if you want songs to fit the gimmick, you have to have a gimmick first.
People keep going on about "personas" over "gimmicks," when half these damn wrestlers don't even have "personas." What the fuck is Kenny Dykstra's persona? Huh? He's a young guy that was a cheerleader, and now he's not. He beat Ric Flair several times. That's his entire "persona." That's all. Fuck that. Fuckin' stupid. Give me a blatant gimmick any day of the week. |

But a song can give him that persona or gimmick that he lacks. If somebody wrote a song about Dykstra and how he'll kick your ass, then drink you under the table, then kiss your woman, then beat you at chess (fuck, I dunno, I'm not Jim Johnson) maybe the fans would have a reason to react because the song has given them some kind of idea who/what Dykstra is all about.

FYI, The Mounties original theme was great. Then they turned it to a comedy theme and I hated his guts. And the Quebecers. |

Nobody mentioned John Cean's themes... they changed his from "World Life" to the thing with the rolled tongue, "You Can't See Me. My Time is Now."
