I Was Somewhat Bored So I Made A Wrestling List #1
yah, might do this every now and again in the name of boredom. Or might not, dunno. After my wondrous Friday night plans fell through, I was somewhat bored so I made a wrestling list (#1). Figured I'd go with "safe territory" for this one and seeing as there hasn't been a "favourite theme" thread for a while, it'll be about entrance music and specifically songs "I am a fan of"/my favourites in a rough order (20 this time, if I do another list, it'll be a different number. Figured we'd go with a nice round one to start with)
So yeah, tell me why I have great/awful taste, why I'm right/wrong, what your top 16/5/3/1 songs are (just put them under spoiler tags so the thread doesn't make some people's computers explode), inaccuracies, disbelief at my liking of a certain song, anything about entrance themes basically. I'll probably disagree with my own selections this time next week and start remembering songs I missed and so on but hey. Enough yapping from me. Safe
Because I couldn't make a list of themes without including this. Once made my own HBK tights* when I was about 7 and did my own version of his entrance complete with music recorded from a VHS playing on the TV with the microphone of this pissy little "boombox" I owned pressed against the speaker. That and the song is so heel.
Worrying trend developing already, would use this when I was a little backyard idiot thinking I was Jeff Hardy (only with the agility of Matt) when I was about 14/15. Remember seeing them in flowery tights on Metal etc and thinking "huh, pretty cool" and then they started dressing in baggy jeans and I was like "SHITTTTT" because, y'know, I wore baggy jeans. It was 1999 and Limp Bizkit were cutting edge in my mind. Shut up.
Didn't care too much about this theme for the longest time. I mean, it was cool and everything and "worked" but that was it. Then MITB 2011 happened and Punk had that moment (well, 45 minutes of moments) that every aspiring wrestler dreams of and it's been a completely different song ever since. Added Miseria Cantere because, while I don't think it would really work on TV, I'm a huge mark for it and would personally use it as entrance music if nobody had ever heard of CM Punk. Oh well.
Would play through the old In Your House computer game with Goldust just to hear a 10-15 second clip of this over some highlights at the end (until I discovered you could just listen to the music in the one of the menus) Much better than the "dulled down" one he used for years afterwards.
WCW Worldwide on a Saturday afternoon when I was about 7-8, usually featuring some variety of tag team main event with the likes of Steamboat, Dustin Rhodes, Shane Douglas, Barry Windham and the Dangerous Alliance. The opening bars were lodged in my head for yearsssss after.
