I really like Shinsuke Nakamura's theme. I don't know why, but it rules.

Okada's is awesome too. Other than that, my favorites are Wyatt's, Lesnar's, DDP's, and of course...

I'd say I really like Punk's theme, but I've had Cult of Personality on my computer since GTA: San Andreas.

and Akira Tozawa's theme is great for a babyface.

I just love that Booker T has managed to keep pretty much the same theme song across both WCW and WWE, even dating back to the Harlem Heat days. That kind of continuity, especially across companies, is so rare. Has anyone else managed it, really? Even Goldberg's was changed fairly significantly (to my ear) when he came to WWE.

What the gently caress was up with the backup singers on this track? If they had gone with someone gruff and actually vaguely manly, like in the main section of the track, it would have been a lot better.

You guys posted a bunch of stuff, so if I missed something and posted a duplicate I'm sorry. I think people posted most of my favorite themes already (Just Close Your Eyes, Broken Out in Love, Misawa's Anime Bullshit, Cult of Personality, Medal), to be fair.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8ksmgIp7Uo William Regal's current theme fits his NXT-final-boss presence and it manages to arrogant and intimidating at the same time. I'm quite a big fan of it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Me1eVsoysM I liked Benoit's theme too and I can't even justify it. I think it's because almost a Faith no More ripoff and I like Faith no More.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAIW-nNjfa8 Matt Hardy isn't cool, but Monster Magnet is.

Also, you know who had a cool theme and barely got to use it? Kharma. Kinda similar to Regal's in tone, now that I think of it. Also includes cool "disrobing" as part of the entrance. Huh.

And as a bonus, the theme that'll never be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuVfMVRoFes May you rest in peace, original Adam Rose theme. :smith:

Also I guess No Chance In Hell, No Chance In Hell is boss.

WCW hosed up alot of things, but they were really great at themes. Yes, most of them were shameless rip-offs of whatever was on altenrative rock radio stations' rotation, but they were great nonetheless. And American Made > Real American :colbert:

Remember: if the balloon pops, the noise makes the angels cry.
Something that's always kind of bothered me, but I've never been able to prove and/or find a reasoning for.

In WCW, Booker T's/Harlem Heat's music started with "yes, yes yes....no, no"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaIcBGKNFy0

But I was on WWE.com not too long ago reading a "best theme music" article they had, and they posted that the entrance lyrics were "ice, ice ice....cold cold" which I didn't think was right, but it's less distinct in the WWE theme without listening expecting to hear yes/no
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0HLBdjvwWw

Am I nuts and just hearing the wrong thing? Was the article writer wrong? Did they change it?
