Sphinx Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) Spending my Saturday night post-MOTD listening to WWE songs on Spotify (where did it all go so right?) I've always been intrigued by the production of WWF/E theme songs. All of their Attitude era themes (and starting in New Gen) have these signature cymbals. Ken Shamrock's theme is a great example of it. They're everywhere. Also, why does Hard Times sound so poorly produced? There's probably others 80s themes too but that one in particular springs to mind (there he goes again, having a go at 80s music again). Does anyone else take much of an interest in the music side of WWE? Edited April 7, 2018 by Sphinx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, to the point I used it as the basis for the business element of my music degree. I was obsessed with Jim and buzzed whenever he made an appearance on tv. I have this romanticised vision of Jim looking on in fear with his portable 8-track when the CFO$ boys turned up with their mobile pro tools studio. The idea that they have a full rig set up, fully miced up drum kit, in a sound proof studio, while Jim sits in that chair from beyond the mat, bashing away on a 6 pad drum machine, that cymbal crash and tom fill being his signature move.  Edited April 8, 2018 by Kaz Hayashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted April 9, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 9, 2018 They surely can't be turning Miz into a goody! I don't get this whole angle they're running with him. Hopefully it's all just a big ruse and he stays the jumped up little bollix that I love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WeeAl Posted April 9, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 9, 2018 Man, I hope you're right. With a bit of luck he'll just keep pounding the nail home about how big a family man is until it gets completely overbearing, and he comes across as self-righteous about how family oriented he is, and it helps keep him heel and add a new dimension to him. I hope he isn't going to be a face but if he is turning then I guess it's to do with his reality TV show he has going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted April 9, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) Don't think there's any danger of a face turn for Miz. The lad's a born baddie. As Al said, I think they're leaning towards the overbearing, dad-of-the-year type of thing with him and I think that'll just add another dimension to his character. Looks as though they are fazing out Bo/Axel as his lackeys though which probably makes sense as by now they've served their purpose. I'd actually get Titus in on this, who I think was actually named a dad-of-the-year or something similar and he can be his new bodyguard and together they can preach the virtues of fatherhood, how they're better parents than us because of x, y, z, you get the picture. What will be interesting to see is how he gets portrayed on his own reality show when that hits the air. Quite keen to see how he comes across in 'real' life as it were (though it'll be heavily staged). If he comes across as a good bloke through that he might get more cheers and then perhaps they'll be forced to look into alternatives with him, on the other hand it might even make him even more disliked. Edited April 9, 2018 by Fatty Facesitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted April 12, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 12, 2018 My next door neighbour, long-time fan and MC John Short, popped by today and saw my office for the first time. I'm standing there thinking "Yeah, look impressed with my massive collection of rare wrestling ephemera." Then he casually pipes up that he's got George Hackenschmidt's autograph.

NoUseforaUsername Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Over the Edge 1998 reviewed on 411Mania. As the reviewer said, the main event, along with Backlash 2000's, represent the zenith of the Attitude Era. Owned both of them on video back in the day and lost count of how many times I watched them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted April 14, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 14, 2018 I was told that my 8-year-old niece went to Kidzania (cross between theme park and work experience) today. She chose to be a journalist, which made me proud. Then I was told she'd written about WWE, which made me proud. And then I read her piece. And I know there's a 99% chance she just made a bizarre factual error, but there's a 1% chance she's doing the type of biting satire that would make me even prouder.

mrtrickio Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I've followed but not watched much WWE for a while. Caught Wrestlemaia weekend though.. How long has the ol' faithful slap been known as an open palmed strike?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
