Wouldn't Cash's "Personal Jesus" make some sweet entrance music for Sean O'Haire?

"WOOYEAH!" "I can slap a tornado"
At first Monster Magnets "Live for the Moment" well I thought it was good and would be Jeff's theme...and then Matt had it and I listened to it more...and I subtly found that the song is oozing with mattitude(the guitar rifts)
And yeah...taker's current one sucks.

Actually, the t.A.t.U song has been a huge international hit, it's just starting to get pushed in the US. So, it's not like they're unknowns and Vince has "made the band famous".. it was the #2 song in South America when I was down there in December(about the same time Victoria started using it.)
And I loved King of my World as well, but the new entrance killed his entrance's heat, and that's why he went back. That, and 90% of the IWC hated the song. One of the rare occassions Vince listens to the internet crowd.
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship.
The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage.

Right song, wrong version. There is a 12' remix of the original Depeche Mode version with a really strong drum line, that would be good for him. He's young, so he needs a more upbeat tone to his music. I love Johnny Cash as much if not more then the next guy, but he is anything BUT upbeat.
Depressing themes can work, no I would not use one for Austin except on the vignette they did. But Terry Funk's Desperado's theme was a pure stroke of brilliance.
I am against themes that contain the subject's name. The Big Boss Man's old theme is sorta cruddy...But even King of My World was sort of too specific. Nowadays we have Christian's song...and it's a nice entrance but it's too lame. Triple H's song is pretty close to what I'm talking about as well, it was written for him, then sent over to Motorhead for them to do a cover. But it's still "all about the game".
Music's wide appeal is in the fact that it might apply to a variety of situations/emotional ranges. Good lyrics are one that sound like they're about a break-up but then you hear them again, when you dog dies, and it applies to the exact same situation there too. So it shouldn't be annoyingly in tune with a wrestler's character, especially since the charatcers are so one-dimensional that it could only lead to one-dimensional, thin and crappy songs.
I also hate the metal-i-zation of every song. Batista's theme, Brock's, and every new guy's is so generically white trashed. No one really listens to metal. All the radio plays is pop, rock, and country. I think top 40 songs, or songs that are rip-offs of top 40 songs, would be a good way to go. "Cry Me a River" suits jeff Hardy, for example.
Bah...Who cares...All this talk of schoolgirls kissing has caused an explosion in my pants...

Originally posted by Shem the PenmanI wonder if the reason that WWE and music labels don't work together more often (besides, of course, the obvious questions about licensing fees and such) is that their goals are incompatible. The music biz promotes songs on a rotating basis -- they'll flood the airwaves and MTV with a particular song for a while, then drop it so they can move on to pushing the next one. WWE, on the other hand, wants each wrestler to have an immediately identifiable theme, which means not changing it every few weeks.
Well, what if they signed on a certain artist for a certain wrestler. They could do some kind of contract where the wrestler uses the song that the artist is pushing at the moment and switch when they switch.
Example- D'lo gets 50 cent as his artist. He starts off with wanksta for about a month. Then switches to in da club for another couple of weeks and then to the next big song and so on...
With all the money they spent on using U2's 'Beautiful Day' for Helmsley. they probably didn't have much else to spend for music, so I guess you CAN say...
Thread ahead: WRESTLEMANIA XIV and No Way Out match cards now as it appears to be... Next thread: GLOW/WOW for 2003 Previous thread: What Do the ratings mean?
Various news sources are now reporting that this contest isn't what it appears to be. Looks like the winners are being called before the show telling them to keep their phone lines clear. That would explain a few things. 1)
