2008 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

Orton's theme has really grown on me. So has Rey Mysterio and Santino Marella's music. I think Edge has the best theme of all.

 

Other nominees for Worst Theme Music:

American Males
Billy Gunn's 'I'm an Assman' (although the tune is catchy, the song talks about a man's ass. 'Nuff said).
NWO theme for the second-stringers

Other nominees for Best Entrance Music:
Ric Flair's
Ted Dibiase's
Jake Roberts'
The Freebirds' 'Badstreet USA' (sounds cheesey today, but was pretty cool in the 80s).

Best real music entrances:
Chris Adams: 'We are the Champions' (He was a heel, but the fans were cheering his entrance, so he changed it to something else)
Larry Zbyzsko: 'Simply the Best'
Terry Funk: "Desperado"
Mikey Whipwreck: "Loser"

 

A pretty comprehensive list from a bunch of guys who make their living chronicling this stuff:

And I had to laugh a couple weeks ago when, in Toys R Us, I spotted a WWE Classics Repo Man action figure. Sadly, there were no Red Rooster, Steve Lombardi or Barry Horowitz figures in the line to reenact an episode of WWF Superstars.

 

Any song about asses that includes the line "the best surprises always sneak up from behind" will get a thumbs down from me every time.

 

So...who's down to start an '09 thread?

 

If you're not down with starting a '09 thread, I've got two words for ya!
