Since my favorites have already been mentioned, I'll just place the one TNA theme someone linked to once, because I legitimately am amazed something this cool wound up in TNA.

Yo, giddyup, well I hate it when a goat takes
Yo, giddyup, when'll Fiddy fit a foot, footy
Pogo on a bet, but I'm wet for fun fella
Get it up, now, get it, got it, go

Come see your bull horn with a phone
(Yo, here we go, when a goat takes)

Yo, giddyup, what a willy wanna go, buddy
Yo, giddyup, what a willy wanna go, buddy
(Go Chuck, yo, here we go, yo)

Yo, giddyup, will you get it for a tomb, buddy

Get a grip, get a honey cut
Get a grip, get a honey cut

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.

I'd say it is more of a joke. Belongs in the eighties.

The Corporate Ministry theme was used for all of like, what, five seconds? Anyway, it was awesome. It took the fun/goofy swagger of the original "No Chance in Hell" and made it holy poo poo get out of the ring.

I really enjoy Brock Lesnar's current theme as much as anyone, but I've still got a place in my heart dedicated to this one:

Also, someone mentioned Matt Striker's theme as one that was perfectly designed to annoy, so I've got to post the theme of, to this day, my favourite wrestling faction of all time:

Personally, I love Alberto Del Rio's original theme and use it as a ringtone. That first wind-up of the horns shows that this rear end in a top hat is arriving, then when the full song kicks in, he was usually out in whatever baller car he had. It was great.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHNSgNfm7mk

For some reason, I really liked Jerishow's, mainly because it's dumb as hell. Actually, I just really like "WELL, IT'S THE BIG SHOW...and Jericho," as if he's hopping from behind the Big Show to remind everyone he's there, too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PrQbfp1e0w

However, THIS theme is great for setting up that (depending on what time of the year it is) someone is gonna get hosed up.

:cripes: Oh man, now I'm wondering whether it was Raven or Jimmy Hart who liked Killing Joke.

Raven has mentioned that his theme music was specifically a mix of "Come As You Are" and "That Smell," hence my original description.

I liked the change. When Goldberg came to WWE he was sold on his "legend." The new version of the theme was grandiose and theatrical, it created this feeling of dread that the old theme never gave me that was perfectly in synch with the idea of this unstoppable monster who'd been unstoppable in WCW coming to unleash himself on a WWE that wasn't ready for him.

The old theme was an adrenaline-pumper type theme, it was all about energy and getting the audience charged that Goldberg was coming to beat up a jobber or an NWO guy that everyone hated. It didn't fit with what WWE wanted Goldberg to do, which was have those long awaited Dream Matches against the top WWE guys from the Monday Night Wars. In that sense the change was a perfect fit.

So while the forums where down I was looking up old raw footage on youtube. The Oddities showed up, I'd never seen them before, and saw them coming out with rapping clowns. I was like "Is that Insane Clown Posse? No way, why the hell are they going out with what seems to be a jobber stable?"

Then JR says they're the Insane Clown Posse, cue me scrambling through to try and find footage of them in wrestling.

I can't believe I never knew about this.

ICP are SUPER into wrestling. They worked for both WWE and WCW at various times, and own their own promotion, while being, by all accounts, some of the best indie promoters. Even Terry Funk vouches for how cool they are as promoters.

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.

Though Paige's theme is already proving a strong contender. A good stinger makes a lot of difference.

I was just about to post this video. It's those loving horns in the middle. It's a crazy good theme, and my favorite Taker theme.

That cover isn't nearly as good as the Pantera original. I never paid that much attention to it back then but now, yikes. I know why Heyman switched to covers but it wasn't the same. The one exception is the cover of The Zoo by Bruce Dickinson. That was great.
