Re: OT: Favorite Wrestling Themes.
Blame the company. Look at what Dean Ambrose was in WWE vs. what Jon Moxley is in AEW. They have guys who can talk but not when you have Vince and these other guys in the back scripting every single word of every promo everyone delivers. They need to let guys be themselves more.

Re: OT: Favorite Wrestling Themes.
DX's theme. Hogan's "Voodoo Child" intro. Real American still makes me smile, it's more of a retro thing than loving the actual song. The Undertaker. The Rock. And finally, Austin's Glass Breaking. I still have that as the wakeup alarm music on my phone. My wife hates it, lol....

Re: OT: Favorite Wrestling Themes.
Completely agree. Sometimes have multiple finishers in a match is warranted and done extremely well. For example, Triple H vs Undertaker Hell in Cell Shawn Michaels referee. Shawn hits Taker with sweet chin music right into a Pedigree, Taker kicks out at almost 3. But it served the story being told in the match.
Jake Roberts once said, if he wasn't winning a match he wouldn't use the DDT. No point. He would go for it to pop the crowd but the opponent would get out of it. Protected his finisher. Shame the DDT is just a transition move today.Master of 'Gifs for dummies'

Re: OT: Favorite Wrestling Themes.
We might never again see a match like the 60 minute time limit draw between Ric Flair and Barry Windham in the 80s.

Re: OT: Favorite Wrestling Themes.
That kind of match is never coming back. Do they even announce hour time limits? Fans aren't going to watch a match where a Bruno Sammartino has Perdro Morales in a headlock for 15 minutes. You are going to get a MMA type submission match instead with counters and positioning. Pro wrestling is now a TV product as opposed to being live even based. The pace that they would need for an hour long match would be too intense for any wrestler to handle.

Re: OT: Favorite Wrestling Themes.
I have not been impressed by AEW at all. The whole stabbed in the eye thing that Moxley did was really dumb. AEW for the most part is all the dumb shit in the WWE but with smaller guys. The only exception is MJF who is really tremendous. That's exactly the kind of wrestler who should be on top while they are stuck in empty arenas.

Re: OT: Favorite Wrestling Themes.
Except the difference is that all the dumb stuff in AEW is treated as prelim and they take care of their big picture stuff while WWE has a overly scripted feel and their most important storylines are treated with disregard to continuity. AEW pre-corona was killing it every week and they were coming off of their last ppv event as good as ever.

Re: OT: Favorite Wrestling Themes.
I could not disagree with this more. I have watched every episode and outside of a segment here or there, there is no "dumb shit like in WWE". I must have missed the months long cuck angle that had zero payoff and got nobody over, or the guy carrying around a covered cage for weeks only to have it be a puppet spider and have the angle dropped a week later in AEW. I mean I can understand thinking something like the recent Matt Hardy stuff as dumb, but even that is going to have an actual payoff to it at some point. AEW also kills stuff that isn't getting over (Nightmare Collective) very quickly while WWE lets stuff like that run on for months.
Everything else that has been dumb or may come across as dumb like Marko Stunt or Orange Cassidy (who I absolutely love) is treated as it should be and never pushed into the main.
