Paid Members LaGoosh Posted January 3 Paid Members Share Posted January 3 Daniel Garcia's trap beat entrance has been stuck in my head all day: But the easy favourite is Swerve for sure. Proper main eventer tune and can't hear it without doing the Prince Nana dance: Â Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gaffer Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Gotta be Judas! Only kidding. It's Kingston's, come to think of it. That hard edge hip-hop sound with the crazy prog rock church organ over the top is bursting with character, sounds like Eddie Kingston looks and feels big time. Also ticks that most excellent "Sounds like he walks to the ring" box. Everything you'd want in a theme really: Christian's a decent runner up for having possibly one of the better ever examples of a 'generic' wrestler's theme. It's a TNA best-of sound font from the mid noughties and upon first listen sounds like it should be completely forgettable but then it never leaves you. There's also a weird sort of subdued glam to it that perfectly suits Christian's character. Someone who doesn't look, sound or even particularly act tough at all but can put the beating on you when needs be: A few other runner ups from AEW: Love that analogue 80s purr of FTR's theme, Hook's suits him down to the ground as well, and Julia Heart having the more Scandi-goth version of House of Black's entrance theme works great. WWE have lost it with themes, for me. They reached a modern golden age when CFO$ or whatever they were called went on a crazy run of almost every NXT call up having a great, recognisable theme but now everything sounds like an overproduced, womp-stomp with orchestral bits and lyrics that go "I'M THE BEST I'M THE TOUGHEST YEAH!"  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members JLM Posted January 3 Paid Members Share Posted January 3 Yeah Mikey Rukus is the man now that CFO$ aren't knocking out NXT bangers any more. I love the Gunns theme in AEW. Ennio Morricone meets synthwave. Helps that it accompanies one of the best entrances in pro wrestling:   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted January 3 Paid Members Share Posted January 3 There has never ever been a better track to hit at the start of a pro-wrestling TV show. It bangs every single time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members JLM Posted January 3 Paid Members Share Posted January 3 (edited) Yep, Jane actually came up on my most played songs of 2023 thanks to Orange Cassidy. Can't hear it without my brain going "Our opening contest IS FOR..." "Where is my mind" is my favourite Pixies song so I was initially very sad about the change, but it could not have been more correct. Edited January 3 by JLM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted January 3 Paid Members Share Posted January 3 Imbedding things on my phone is a nightmare, but if I had to mention something it would be Chase U's theme. I realise it's supposed to have that university marching band, big game feel spirit, but every time it pops up on my playlist it makes me feel like I've just become a Pokémon champion on the Game Boy and it brings a real nice feel of nostalgia to my day. Hook's entrance is currently my phone morning alarm, probably will be for a long time. There's no way to not feel pumped up slowly meandering into your day to that song.

I mostly do indies and AEW. If anyone's interested, I can post it here or in the plug section from the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It evokes his Crow WCW theme without being a lazy copyright friendly knockoff version of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted January 4 Paid Members Share Posted January 4 Crappy video aside, this is a bit of a banger Also, this wasted on Ryan Nameth  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRooster Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 @Hannibal Scorch - I’m totally with you on the Nemeth song. Perhaps they had high hopes for him when he came in, but it’s kind of mad that such a good theme is wasted on someone so mediocre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
