ThePhenom Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Jimmy Hart seems to be the guy who did most of the lyrics based tunes in 80's. His memphis stuff was fucking brilliant. Who did the theme tune to Prime Time Wrestling 1991/Bam Bam Bigelow circa 1987/88, if so they were better, god I love that theme and it's impossible to find  That Prime Time theme is production, I have a brilliant version of it if you want a download link. I'm just not sure if it is alright to post it on here. Jimmy Hart had the better record during the 80s and early 90s. Hart did the themes for the Honky Tonk Man, Hulk Hogan, Ted DiBiase, Andre The Giant, The Rougeaus Brothers, The Hart Foundation, Shawn Michaels, If You Only Knew, Piledriver and a few others. Jimmy Hart and Jim Johnson were a good team in the 80s.  Andre had theme music?   Nope, he never had music. Though he did for video games (newer ones from the 2000s, Smackdown Vs Raw was the first one I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smegma Cake Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'm pretty sure he has input in most of the theme songs done by 'proper' bands too. The guy surely deserves a Hall of Fame induction because most, if not all his themes are pretty much embedded into any wrestling fans mind no matter the era.

Paid Members chokeout Posted March 28, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 They have to pay Jesse Ventura royalties if wanting to use his commentary? Why's that? Â In 1990 Ventura took WWF to court for royalities for the use of his commentary in video releases. He won (even though his contract stated he wouldn't get any) getting a big lump sum and money from all future releases he featured in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is. Â It was composed by John Cameron and it is called "Rescue Helicopter". A great old-school theme.

Dazz Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Good to see Jimmy Hart did American Dream. Is that why it's edited off some versions of Wrestlemania VI and replaced with the theme off John Leslie's Wheel of fucking Fortune of all things? From 8:15  That is fucking tremendous!  Anyone remember this old theme tune? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOPdMJgSAc0..._embedded#at=43 Fuck me, is that the Crimewatch theme at the end as well?  This thread is awesome.

Â Â Yeah he writes those themes, it's very rare that he doesn't have a hand in them. Like The Nexus theme for example, he just edited it so it started at a different point for maximum impact for the entrance. Themes like "End Of Days" (The Corre), "Broken Dreams" (Drew McIntyre), "I Came To Play" (The Miz) and "I Come From Money" (Ted DiBiase) were all written by Jim and he just contacts bands to perform them. There's usually at least 2/3 bands that record the theme before one is selected, this was shown with The Corre having about 4 theme songs. I know at least 2 artists recorded Zack Ryder's "Radio" theme as well. Â Short answer, yeah he's involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted March 29, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2011 No Holds Barred has about 50 great songs in it done by Jim Johnson, with 3:53 and 3:50 being examples of how class the soundtrack is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenPhoenix Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 somebody mentioned it earlier but is the WWE Anthology 2 ever going to see the light of day or was it just a rumour?? Â It's something Jim wants to do but I guess he has to get the green light from WWE to go ahead with it. Â If it happens i'm hoping for Kerwin White's theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
