This, but I enjoy his Japanese themes more because of the Engrish swearing in the bridge.

"If you want, come... over... here! I'm gonna kick you AAAAAASSSS!!" ;D

Also, it starts with a "F*** YOU!!" before the intro kicks in.

That right there is the best opening to an entrance theme in the history of entrance themes.

I have the theme on my PC and it really is great.

However, my favourite theme of all time is Hayabusa's Fight With Dream. Real dramatic, catchy, distinctive theme, and the type of theme that would get a big pop if Hayabusa ever recovers.

My favorite theme songs of all time are as follows:

Real American- I know that this is a standard answer, but, it always gets me going as a fan and I sometimes hated Hogan with a passion. It reminds me of when I was a kid watching wrestling.

Bret Hart's theme- I'm a fan of the Hitman and will always go crazy for that song.

The Rock's theme- When I hear that theme, I mark out like crazy since I am a huge fan of the Rock. God, I miss the Rock everytime that I turn on WWE TV.

Sting's theme (Crow Sting version)- I loved the quasi-supernatural theme of the music and get chills when I hear it (especially when that little girl speaks about Sting and says "This is Sting" at the end).

The Sandman- Enter Sandman is a great song and I loved singing it outloud when the Sandmand came down to the ring back in the old ECW. Seeing it at the first ONS gave me goosebumps all over my body. I even started to shed a tear or two because it was so amazing.

Brock Lesnar's theme- The song was ok but I loved the opening of the song and loved it when Tazz said "Well, here comes the pain!" This helped to make all of Brock's matches seem important, something that today's stars sometimes lacks.

Goldberg's theme- My all time personnal favorite theme song period. Hearing it always gets me going and being a WCW fan and not at all a WWE fan it reminds me of better days.

My favorite themes from current performers include Samoa Joe's theme, Christian Cage's theme and Abyss's song.

[Samoa Kenny]

For "real" songs, no one beat Sandman, but we all know The Demos(litions) song was great

[Limey]

New Church. Nothing more to say. Except shame no-one with that theme ever ended up well.

Jimmy Rave's "House of Rising Sun". Just fits too well. When that hit, you just thought "Oh, poopy. He's going to hunt me down, murder my entire family and no-one's ever going to find their remains because he's going to eat every last bit.

Amdrag. "The Final Countdown". You just have to sing along. It's a sick compulsion.

cult of personality- cm punk.

[ItsaSantino]

Fabulous Freebirds.-Can't go wrong with either Freebird or Badstreet USA. Both not only fit their gimmick, but furthered it.

[krzykraka]

I will go with a darkhorse but I loved the Midnight Express theme in the 80's for some reason

but realistic one of the best themes that does the job of getting people ont hier feet is when the glass breaks and its Stone Cold! Still gets the loudest pop even today,just watch the last SNL MAIN EVENT.

[Rube]

Not the best ever, but one of my favorites: D'Lo - Real Deal www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwVqPVs1ooE

RVD - Walk ... awesomeness defined

["Magic" Mark Hurr]

This thread is the reason why custom soundtracks are a must.

[Klutch]

either Punk's-Miseria Cantare or Danielson's- Final Countdown

QFT!! ;D

[Gopher Mod]

Right now, it would be Mike Quackenbush's theme, "Break it Down Again" by Tears for Fears. It really fits him well.

WCW -- Sting -- Metallica --- Seek and Destroy

No matter how many bad Hugh Morrus/Fit Finlay matches were killing Nitro, when that theme hit, the fans flipped out.

Close second:

WCW -- Hollywood Hogan -- Jimmi Hendrix -- Voodoo Child

This is not directed toward you or anyone in particular, BUT call me anal-retentive (well no, on second thought I don't want to be called that, haha) but am I the only one who get's annoyed when people mess up the spelling of JIMI Hendrix, especially when they put him down as one of their favorite artists (ie a bunch of teenage or 20-26 year old girls who date musicians)?

Maybe it's the fact I'm a blues/classic rock fanatic and guitarist, but it REALLY bothers me when people misspell it. The only time he had a different spelling of Jimi, was when he was in America as Jimmy James (and the blue flames), and he changed it in England prior to the release of his first revolutionary album "The Jimi Hendrix Experience", in order to make his name more unique. For the last time, it's spelled J-I-M-I!
Not J-I-M-M-Y, not J-I-M-Y, not J-I-M-M-I, not J-I-M-M-Y- J-O-E B-O-B C-O-R-N O-N T-H-E C-O-B! (What the hell did I just type?!?!)
It's Jimi Hendrix!
[/end pointless rant]

Anyways yeah, I agree it's Voodoo Chile. A close second for me was when Punk used Living Colour's "Cult of Personality"

[thiazzi]

Razor Ramon

[Dolph Zalgo]

I just cannot pick ONE...

My top favourites:

Chris Jericho - Days Of My Life (his first WCW entrance theme, a production music song, he used the version without lyrics. I just marked for his entrance and the music the very first time I saw him. Since then I was a Jerichoholic and this will probably never eeeeeever change.)

Ultimate Warrior's WWF Theme (PURE intensity, BETTER than ANY theme by ANY rockband for ANY wrestler. No rockband at a wrestling event can ever recreate the goosebumps you would get when the speakers would go: "DADADADADADADADADADA DA DA DA DADADADADADADADADADA....")

Christian Cage's TNA theme (It suits him like "Days Of My Life" suited Jericho. It's a good thing that they do not actually use an Evanescence song, since wrestling themes are sometimes much better when they do NOT contain lyrics.)

Chris Benoit - WWE - Whatever (Even with lyrics it was a perfect theme for Benoit... *sigh* well, the lyrics suited Benoit and unfortunetely suited him a little too well in the end...)

Mr. Perfect's WWF Theme (Well, what can you say? A perfect theme)

Chris Masters' Theme (Does he still use this one? Like Mr.Perfect's theme a great theme for a wrestler like him... well not anymore since we probably won't see bodybuilders anymore in WWE for... well... for a year or so...)

There are a lot of other great entrance themes like: nWo (original b&w), Ric Flair, Macho Man, The Narcissist, Goldberg, MVP, but...


...in the end I think it's a photo finish between Mr.Perfect and the Ultimate Warrior with the Warrior going over just because the entrance theme was a vital part of his whole gimmick since it added to his intensity.

ULTIMATE WARRIOR THEME

Edit: I would love to see (and hear) an experiment done on any RAW. Just hit the Ultimate Warrior theme and the crowd would MARK OUT like hell. It would work in TNA and probably even in ROH.

[ray3100]

D-X and Stone Cold's themes have already been mentioned. I always liked Mick Foley's theme that starts with the car wreck.

"Suprise You're Dead" by Faith No More
-PWG's Excalibur

Agreed! If I may throw in my two cents with some other CHIKARA mainstays:

Los Ice Creams: Ice cream truck music FTW!

Claudio Castignolli: For some reason, I just think the intro to Sledgehammer works so very well for him.

Shayne Hawke: The last few times I saw him, he came out to a surf guitar arrangement of Snake Man's music from Mega Man 3. I mark for any use of video game music, pure and simple.

The Colony: Ants Marching! Damn straight!

[Will Has 'Til Five, Ref]

I like cheesy 70's disco music so I like Larry Sweeney use of More, More, More.
