Benoit's best theme ever was when he was a heel in WWF and they would leave in dear air giving the audience time to audibly BOOOOOOO! so it actually sounded like part of the music.

That was the default song for your CAW in the last SVR game he was in. :)

Also, turns out that I was watching a WWE dvd where they overdubbed his WWE music, hence my confusion.

I'm glad I have the 2002 Unforgiven DVD so I can watch all the cool old themes, like Never Gonna Stop Me and that "Who's that jumpin' out the floor..." Rey Mysterio theme.

I was hoping that King of Kings would be his new permanent theme when it first debuted. I'm a huge Motörhead fan, and The Game is good, but man, King of Kings owns so much more.

I really liked when HHH used Bow Down for his promos, and Time to Play the Game for his matches. I mean if you're going to have to see 4 HHH entrances in one show, you might as well mix up the themes.

Nah, Benoit had a very different theme. His WCW themes all sucked really hard aside from the Horsemen theme.

The only guys in WCW with decent theme music were Raven and Sandman. Here's Sandman's WCW theme for reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BD6uisXII0

• Lex Luger's epic theme

Yeah, WCW had a ton of great themes. I mean, Sting's original Crow theme? The nWo theme? DISCO INFERNO'S theme? DDP's was awesome even if it was a direct rip-off just for DDP talking during it. The Harlem Heat theme is iconic.

Last I was aware, he was still waiting for tests to go through to clear him.

Maybe he failed a physical or something; neither he nor Claudio have put anything up on Twitter about it, other than Claudio vaguely hinting that FCW "needed a Hero" a while back.

IIRC, Dolph's first match was a surprisingly competitive back-and-forth with Batista. Similar booking to Daniel Bryan debuting against Jericho actually, but with face/heel roles reversed.

They probably asked him to stop looking so much like Triple H, Chris Hero told Triple H to stop looking so much like him, Hunter didn't get the joke and now they are second guessing the signing.

Don't worry, to remind you he had BUFF airbrushed on his hat, his tights, the overalls he wore over his tights, possibly also on his boots.

The problem with Buff Bagwell is that when Scott Steiner started pretty much doing his gimmick, he did it right and took it to the main event.

Buff Bagwell couldn't take it anywhere but getting his rear end kicked by Shane f'n Helms.

For what it's worth, Hero being signed is still pending as far as anyone knows.
If WWE had moved on like with Nigel, we would know something rather than nothing.

That's what I think every time too.

All this talk of HHH's themes and nobody mentions the best part of The Game - Both times Lemmy did it live and forgot the lyrics. Also, the acoustic version backstage that one time.

Also also, that time Drowning Pool did it for Wrestlemania X8.

Luckily the only Canadian music I listen to is Matthew Good (and kazoos) and I grew up with Bruce Springsteen on the radio. These factors all came together and allowed me to like Kane's theme with lyrics. My whole life was leading to that moment. It however didn't allow me to enjoy Steve Austin's theme with lyrics.
