Mox and Eddie being buddies and dealing with poo poo (possibly just the Good Brothers, or maybe against Butcher and Blade given Eddie's history with them) is super fun and a great use of both of them.

It also might be cheesy but I'd love for Hangman to win the belt thanks to Dark Order, Eddie and Mox, Kaz, Best Friends, and Death Triangle all putting aside their differences for one night to beat down the Elite and prevent any kind of interference.

this is likely the endgame for the Elite since the amount of enemies they have made is astronomical. Would love to see Punished Kaz, Eddie, Best Friends, Daniels, and Death Triangle completely obliterate the Bucks. Dark Order will 100% be the ones to prevent interference when Hangman comes for Omega.

Somebody mentioned Mox v. Miro as a future match and I know it would likely not happen but I'd be very ok with Miro winning that match, even if it's through bullshit.

I too will miss Unscripted Violence, but I really like licensed music in pro-rasslin' so I can get down with Wild Thing. It's the kind of thing that made ECW feel so cool early on, although I assume TK actually went through the proper channels here.

Peripheral to this I also like how wrestlers can be shown wearing brands or licensed t-shirts, etc. It's a thing WWE snuffed out decades ago in favor of in-house branded everything and it has made them (WWE) a million times less cool in the process.

e: I remember when Erick Rowan slipped through the cracks with some metal band's t-shirt and people here were losing their minds over it, WWE briefly loosened their grip and managed to be cool for 5 minutes how bout that

I'm absolutely convinced that some people have the musical equivalent of Goon Face Blindness w/r/t wrestling themes, because I'm not gonna tell you Unscripted Violence wasn't/isn't a Generic Wrestling Theme, but it was/is a loving great one and is absolutely memorable, and as pieces of music, a lot of the greatest themes ever are generic as gently caress if we're being honest with each other.

Is Unscripted Violence the one that starts with an amp fuzz sound and chugging guitar or the one that starts with a motorcycle, guitar slide, and then sludgy guitar and bass?

They're definitely at least trying to get these songs through proper channels. Big Bicep Tony had said the reason Orange Cassidy doesn't have Jane is because no one in Jefferson Starship would contact him about it

Honestly I bet they wouldn't be able to afford it. Or it would be like when they did that game with Rock Band and made them use live versions and take an entire album. The entire roster would have to come down to acdc songs.

2. Unscripted Violence
3. Major League version of Wild Thing
4. NJPW theme

turn it all around

I know a big portion of people here have been big on the "let Sammy and PnP get away from the Inner Circle and do their own thing" train for a while, but I feel like we may just be transitioning into Sammy being the leader of the Inner Circle. He got the big pin on Sunday and the post-match celebration was all about him, being lifted up onto their shoulders and everyone raising his hand. I'm wondering if part of Jericho's retirement strategy (whatever the timeline is for that) includes giving the reigns to Sammy to lead the group.

I can dream a different day about Hager somehow being ousted from the group/AEW in general.

Literally the amp plugging in and the guitar screech by themselves are very good, unique opening auditory cues which are hallmarks of many a good wrestling theme, see also glass breaking or IF YA SMELLLLLLLLLL. If Mox was gonna make an unexpected run-in for example to pop a crowd, that guitar screech alone works ten thousand times better in that instance than any part of Wild Thing.

The current version of Wild Thing is okay and a definite upgrade from the Troggs version but I almost feel like some of the people bending over backwards to talk about how generic the theme sounded are kind of funny because like, sorry, the vast majority of wrestling themes, even ones considered absolutely iconic and legendary, are largely generic 60-90 second loops that aren't generic to wrestling fans BECAUSE we associate them with incredible moments and there's literally nothing wrong with admitting that. I'm not above admitting that that's a huge part of what I like about Unscripted Violence but I also am not about to sit here and tell you Wild Thing is some incredible piece of music either.

Rarity posted:

I've said, and stand by it, his NJPW theme is perfect for NJPW/Japanese wrestling, and the AEW theme was perfect for AEW/American wrestling. They should both exist in their own spheres because they both have different vibes and their vibes fit their respective uses like a glove.

I'm pretty close, flip 1 and 2. Death Rider is super generic to me, and other than the fact that I recognise the opening guitar squeal I don't remember any of it.

I know that Unscripted Violence is also pretty generic but I can no longer hear it as just a piece of music. It immediately conjures up happy wrestling memories
