I'm sure someone will be along to correct me shortly, but I honestly believe this is one of the best themes in the last decade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekmeGyj2IjM Here's why: That.loving.bell. It's super annoying, and grating, and basically perfect for a heel. The quotes, delivered with such smarmy assholishness, only add to it. Every time I heard that bell, I knew I could look forward to Balls Mahoney or CM Punk beating the poo poo out of the physical representation of how much high school sucked.

The guitar isn't anything special but it can't even come close to ruining the intro + mad opera singer guy. I liked Christian's TNA theme, too, it kind of softened the blow of losing Just Close Your Eyes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uvTXb_7oZI

Hallelujah Chorus is a cool theme for Damien Sandow and all, but his original FCW theme, Dvorak's New World Symphony, owns, and would be a great theme for him if he ever got a run as a legitimate champion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqHeQrzqIW0 Also, Tyler Breeze. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YEC_7afzuU

Chinston Wurchill posted:More NJPW love! Yeah. The standard Rainmaker theme is good, but the extended super boss fight version is incredible and helps gives him the aura a main event star should have entering a huge match. Some great '80s-'90s puro themes that haven't been mentioned yet Jushin Liger - it may be a cheesy old anime theme, but it works great for him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FFGb1IqBcE Great Muta - Concerto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLMEe0kbCrw Chono https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEI2vAKxIks

Somehow Akira Hokuto made a kind of soft latin pop piece work as an entrance theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQZL2GuzQEw Act Yasukawa's theme is pretty good too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se3lLlnWK1Y Suben fucked around with this message at 04:03 on May 4, 2014 |

She made it work somehow, so hey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BoMIWEp41c And on the topic of joshi, Megumi Kudo had the most 80s theme ever and I love it.

Okay, Why is Kofi Kingstons theme music about a hitman who is lamenting to his Victim that their life is at an end because he's going to kill them? And yet he does not in fact have a hitman gimmick? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAbH7W7S8Ws I actually think he could rock the whole MiB suit and sunglasses and "I beat up wrestlemans for money" gimmick. Also, I know it would steal "Rapadoo" from us, but Cena needs a new theme.

One of the only WCW themes I can still remember word-for-word. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXWVIdr76i4 I'd legit mark out if this hit during RAW or something. Instant feud with Fandango. Make it happen.

Along those same lines, I think that half the reason I liked Ken Shamrock as much as I did was because of his loving boss entrance music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkbvz5fEldo Also, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFqSXQR47DA I would have been 1000% behind Shamrock or Blackman coming back during that 2002-2008 time period. I think they're too old now.

Raven's WCW theme was loving great. I'm not so big on the industrial remix he used in TNA, but the original is a great fusion of Nirvana and Skynyrd. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON_BqmOCXQY Also, Mongo McMichael's theme was great, and after he disappeared it was given to Sandman. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BD6uisXII0
