The UnderTaker...Graveyard Symphony...bong, bong, bong...chills

The GOAT...can't go wrong with the original although all the variations over the years are good too lol.

Coincidentally Jericho's current theme is also one of the best themes.

Three good themes not often talked about are Ken Shamrock, Steve Blackman's second (the drum heavy one) and Dean Malenko's WWE theme circa 2000.

New themes are generally not great in my opinion especially in WWE, but Shinsuke Nakamura's theme slaps.

I used to like Val Venus' entrance music..lol

Theme of the most underrated wrestler in wrestling Hirooki Goto.

I always liked the WCW themes that were just blatantly plagiarized versions of popular songs. The most egregious of which were probably DDP (Smells Like Teen Spirit knockoff) or Raven (Come As You Are knockoff)...I think Road Warriors had a theme during one of their WCW runs that was literally just a downtuned Iron Man. IIRC Jericho's also sounded very similar to Pearl Jam's Evenflow...someone in WCW sure liked 90s grunge.

Had to look and yup. Jericho is probably my all time favorite wrestler, I knew I wasn't making it up lol

Love the HBK Theme as well, lol

I didn't see you post this. That must be why the WCW theme sounds exactly like it lol. They didn't even try with this one. I wonder if any of the original creators ever saw any royalties from it? There's no way they didn't copyright infringement this.

Ultimate Warrior had a great theme...especially to go running to.

Other favs:
Shawn Michaels - just a stupid catchy song
NWO
Ric Flair

Big fan of themes who capture the wrestler's persona perfectly, and Warrior's theme definitely did that. Iconic theme. Same for Shawn Michaels, at least in the 90's - lol.

I think every man has pranced around his house to Shawn Michaels' theme, when no one else was around, at least once in his life.

**WrongBaldy** · 04-01-2020, 11:31 PM

Val Venus

**DeltaRaven** · 04-02-2020, 08:59 AM

Roddy Piper

Brett Hart - Hitman

Ultimate Warrior

Chris Jericho

Undertaker's ministry theme

I think I'm in the minority but I liked Triple H's "My Time" theme better than the Motorhead one.

Forgot about Jericho's evenflow theme. Fantastic stuff.
