This seems to come up every few months, but wrestling music can be: Awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHLwSe3pkFY Patriotic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi51kkMepn0 Surprising https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNEEZKtX9Mg Iconic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHAQiYz7NU0 And, as the discussion which prompted my making this thread revealed, sometimes it can even defy expectations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ey0GskPSR0 So, yes, I really like James Storm's redneck song, as it's recognisable, the country sound is unusual for wrasslin' these days, and fits his character at the time while being pretty catchy. It's not as instantly crystalising as Break Down The Walls, or Sexy Boy, or effortlessly cool like Cult Of Personality or the Horsemen music, but for modern standards, not even just 'TNA' standards, I think it goes above and beyond what you normally expect. So, what're your favourites, how awesome is Jim Johnson/Jimmy Hart/Dale Oliver/Lemmy/Michael Hayes, and can we get to page two before someone gives the incorrect opinion (that Christian's 'At Last' theme is any good outside of the opening lines)?

Hijo Del Helmsley posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hhki7cG55Lk I always liked it, but the first few times I saw the entrance, I was concerned, it actually wasn't until the Rumble that I realised it had clicked. People weren't being quiet because they weren't over. They were in reverent silence, like for Undertaker's entrance. And then the clapping became more of a thing, and it's pretty amazing.

RE: Valyard & Candice Michelle Considering I had no memory of that song and made it about 15 seconds in before my hand reflexively clicked the stop button, yes, yes I would have a hard time believing that.

Virtually all wrestling themes are better when you can't understand/don't pay attention to the lyrics. Especially Diva's themes, with the possible exception of Victoria using that t.A.T.u. song. Personally, for me nothing will beat Undertaker's mid-late 90s hard rock theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhxTS_0vl0E Though Paige's theme is already proving a strong contender. A good stinger makes a lot of difference.

It was perfect for the early Stone Cold character where he was just a heartless bastard. I was so bummed out the day he got his other theme.

Always been a huge fan of the 80s pop theme that is Owen Hart's music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGez08eFS6E And I really, really really love everything about The Shield's theme. I think it's one of Jim Johnston's best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sg_86-jGsQ Also, common man boogie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UHoAiFW6EQ Edit: I always thought Eddie's last theme was rad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUHIm-besFw

A few others I forgot to add. AJ Style's Theme in ROH is great. When the chorus hits, around 1:09, mixed with his presentation of his entrance, I can't help but mark out (and I like AJ, but I'm not a huge huge AJ fan). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKTNHX8y01Q The Sleaze of Adam Cole's entrance is fantastic. It fits him perfectly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXjOP0mBOas Admittedly, I have a hard time still differentiating some ROH themes from others. A lot of them just sound like vague metal songs, so it's especially nice to have something that sounds sonically unique to the rest of the product. Edit: I lose it every time I hear this.
