2008 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

That was GAB 2004, not 2007...

 

I've downloaded a bunch of wrestling themes, but mostly just to have them.

I only actually listen to three of them consistently, and all while working out - Triple H, Batista and CM Punk. Those three'll get you moving. I also like Edge's current theme and Randy Orton's old one "Hey...". Those two seem like they could have been radio hits.

 

Edge's current theme is the most listened-to song on my iPod. It's a really motivational song.

On the topic of favorite entrances, since someone mentioned Kerry Von Erich, I'll throw out Kevin Von Erich with Ted Nugent's Stranglehold.

Flair's is the all-time greatest in my opinion, though. And Jericho's Break Down the Wall was awesome, as was DX. There's a lot of good ones really. But Flair still tops them all, and I think it was better in the old days before they added the "Wooo!" to it. In the WCW days, you didn't need to hear that to know the Nature Boy was coming. You just needed to hear those first notes, and it was on.

 

The Undertaker's theme will be by-far the best known theme in professional wrestling for a long time. My favorite? I'd have to say would belong to Triple H or HBK. I say HBK only because it's been around so long and it'll never change.

 

I'm with you on Edge and Orton's old theme, those are probably my favorite two in the WWE, next to Cena's.

 

Edge's theme is not just a great wrestling song...it's a fantastic song period. Those guys from Creed are doing pretty good for themselves without Stapp.

I imagine Ric Flairs theme will go down as the greatest, but there certainly is some competition...Hogan's Real American, Shawn Michaels, Batista, nWo, DX, Undertaker, Austin, Goldberg, Macho Man, etc.

 

I really like it too. Fits Raw well and it's a hell of a lot better than "Move to the music yeahhhhh..."

 

Now that I've thought of it, a few other great entrances:

The Sandman's: Want to see a crowd go absolutely ballistic? Watch Jim Fullington walk through an audience with some beer.

Gentleman Chris Adams: He had several songs, but the one I remember is when he first turned heel in World Class, he came out to Queen's "We are the Champions," with Gary Hart. He only did it a few times, because the fans started cheering him even though he was playing a bad guy. That was a bad thing in 1985.

Jake (the Snake) Roberts: Quiet theme, but pretty cool, especially with Howard Finkle announcing his name.

Vladimir Kozlov's: Great because there's no music. You can actually hear the crowd boo him.

Sabu, circa 1993. Pretty cool having him come out on a gurney.

Worst entrance song ever: The American Males.

 

No longer. He had music last night - and a video.

 

...and dump it down their gullets.
