Needless Music Changes
In my opinion, randomly switching someone's music for no reason at all can hamper their efforts to get over, and cheese off the fans.
Main ones I can think of right now are: The Bashams: They seemed to change music on a weekly basis, each new song worse than the last. Victoria: I don't know if this was down to song licensing or what, but her old one was much better. Lashley: I don't see how his new one is any improvement at all. Other than to say 'Look at me. I am now a main eventer. You can tell this from my slightly altered theme.' I don't see a point in it. There's plenty more I can think of, but I'll let you guys name a few. Quote:

His old theme without the vocals was far better.

Personally I prefer the new version of Lashley's.
Angle's was pretty needless past "they will continue to chant "You Suck". The ones who do that are usually sheeple, so just try to get the "Angle" sing-along back into the groove. |

WWE's current obsession with adding vocals has ballsed up a lot of themes.
Examples: Batista, Kane, Benoit. |

Gregory Helms did not need to lose his theme for his new one. I really liked his old one. If anything, Helms needed the Benoit/Kane treatment, and get it turned into a song with lyrics.
Bobby Lashley's new theme really irritates me. He needs to get an entirely new theme. Hopefully they give him the Batista treatment, and get a band to perform it. Ashley's current theme pisses me off to no end. I know it must have cost a lot of money to pay for "Be Yourself" again, but why not just have her ditch it for London & Kendrick's theme. This isn't me being a London & Kendrick mark, it's just their music is better. It's got more energy, and that seems to be a fit for Ashley. I am kind of upset that Jamie Noble now uses the Pit Bulls theme music. It's a rip-off of that Kid Rock song, and while that seemed appropriate with Kid Kash, it really doesn't need to be done with Jamie Noble. I miss his old-school theme. It was more unique. The second version of it was slightly below the original in terms of quality, in my opinion. |

Yes, I agree with Jabba and I don't like it when they add something at the beginning of the theme. ( i.e. Gregory Helms)

i always found it needless for them to change Rey's music. Most of the changes made to wrestlers over with me eventually grows on me.
For example, I didn't even like the change of HHH's music in 2000 at first. Same with Eddie and even Goldbergs when he came to WWE. Then theres others you just can't change, like Jericho or The Rock. I personally like the vocalized versions of Benoit, Kane and RVDs music a lot. But the award for the most needless music change of all time goes to Austin after his heel turn in 2001. They kept the glass break, and then it was just some crappy riff. Should have stuck with the classic theme or the disturbed version. You don't change the most over star evers music just because he's a heel. |

Lol. I liked Rey's ECW/WCW theme. If someone can help me out on a way to get that there will be rep for them.
RVD's is good. Kane was better when he had a mask so it fits that his theme is much more. . .how should I put this. . ."sorrowful". Super Crazy's Desperado theme from Raw that one week was super-dope, his new narrated theme and the Mexicool's theme still seem dumb. That's coming from a huge Mexicool's fan if you can beleive it. |

Van Dam's is a perfect alternative to Walk (it's fairly similar too).

Well, can't help that.
But the one song that pisses me off to no end is Sandman. Don't even get me started how shitty his entrance is without Enter Sandman. |

Lashley's new "extreme rock" sounding theme is not as good as the original. The bass in the original was awesome and it was one of my faves.
Adding a random soundbyte to a theme is really overdone now. I really don't miss hearing "Gweg-wee Helms!" at the start of the former Cruiserweight Champ's entrance. (I think he had a new theme on SD! last week) |

Most people here would shit their pants if they took the "If ya Smell" out of Rock's theme.
Not unlike Sid. |

any good music needs a cue at the beginning needs a cue that can come out of nowhere and be suprising, yet instantly recognizable
whether it be "are you ready", a gong, glass shattering, "you think you know me", or a countdown most great entrance themes have had something that tipped off the crowd to go nuts. I think thats what they try to achieve when they put things like that at the beginning of a song. |

His current theme is actually one of my favorites of the last decade or so...hacked up version of the original song though, but great for him.
Most of the new wave of themes I've hated...I really hate Orton's. Love Edge's though. |

SOMEONE should have kept the Evolution theme as their permanent theme song... probably Randy Orton. Of course, they booted him out and turned him face, so he couldn't exactly keep it, but that was another mistake they made.
Evolution Theme > Orton's current "HEY! NOTHIN' YOU CAN SAY (SAY)!" faggy theme |

^Glad someone else thinks so. That theme is still one of my all-time faves.

I'll assume the topic's been discussed on these boards, but good grief, I cannot stand the tag, Dykstra.
Lenny Dykstra was enough for me. Anyway, not a bad idea. He needs some sort of hook, as does Orton in my opinion. Legend Killer doesn't work in my opinion, especially when he's stagnating at the moment. "What? This boring high-mid carder crushed WWE legends?" Last edited by 311; 03-01-2007 at 01:30 AM. |

Orton should have kept it. But of course, Orton should have never left Evolution either. He should have taken over as the leader. And once the stabled broke up or fizzled out he could have retained the music. Or at least a variation like the Rock's music was a variation from the final nation theme.

Rated-RKO should add one more guy to the group and then start using an instrumental version of the Evolution theme, just to piss off HHH.
BTW, am I the only one who can't get the Evolution tune out of my head any time I put on a suit? |
