Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

Plus Cody picking that really superficial song as his entrance theme is way more on brand than picking a deep or meaningful song. They likes Tom Brady and Enterprise for fucks sake.

Since Robbie E and entrance music is mentioned, does anybody know or remember the very first theme he had. I remember it had something to do with Fistbumping. I think he only used it briefly when the gimmick debuted since i saw it in a fan cam that shoved the entrance with.. Cookie (was it his vallets name?)

Downstait at one point did a cover of Ryder's "Oh Radio" theme that was never used on the show, so it's not much of a surprise he's working with them again.

I'm surprised we have yet to see anyone in AEW use the PWG Band for their entrance music. You know, the band that did multiple versions of the same song for the PWG previews, like "Static in the attic, oh no!", "Whoah give me shelter!" and "Hangman from the moon". I'm sure they could come up with some new lyrics for their one song to fit someone's character in AEW.

thats the Young Bucks theme

when the Elite come out as a unit, like they did at Stadium Stampede, it's the full version of the BTE theme which also contains the refrain superkick party

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I stand by the opinion that 99% of all wrestling themes are objectively bad and thus I find anyone coming out to themes that seem ironically bad ala HBK's classic Sherri theme to actually be kind of charming. I think that's how I take the Elite/Bucks' theme. This is also - I think - the core of Sammy singing Jericho's theme.

The cooler you try and make a wrestling theme the sadder it becomes, because it will still be about a fake wrestler saying how awesome he is. I call this "The HHH/Motorhead Conundrum."

Too many WWE cast offs in AEW no more. Tony use your money to get NJPW guys or something Zach Ryder has always sucked, terrible finisher, dated and lame gimmick there's no upside there.

Every wrestling theme either needs to be a dark wave synth like jake the snake or glorious guitar heroics like the four horsemen theme, the two greatest wrestling themes ever.

i agree with you but i assume all the evps have the "that one friend" clause, which the bucks used on cutler and cody will use on ryder, they gave jericho one and he used it on japanese deathmatch legend luther, and kenny is holding onto his because kota was his only other friend but he will never leave njpw and he shouldnt

If all these geek hires give us Kota Vs Kenny with full creative freedom at an AEW PPV then it will have been worth it.

Here's the thing..

We don't know if Zack Ryder sucks or not because we've always seen him through the WWE filter. The WWE roster is probably full of amazing talent that will never get to show a tenth of what they have to offer because of the terrible way that company is run. If he shows up in AEW and is just as bad then we can complain but until any of these wrestlers are given the freedom to actually do their job we should probably not say they have no upside.

He may turn out to be another Damien Sandow but without a chance we'll never know.
