So, after about 18 years in the WWE, King gets a new theme. Frankly, to me it sounded like someone pushed the "Fanfare" button on a Casio keyboard. It's just not right having him come out in the WWE without "The Great Gate of Kiev" playing.
So waddya think?

I think it's a stupid decision. He's had the old song forever, and it makes no sense to change it to this new generic-sounding piece of garbage right before one of the biggest shows of his WWE career.

Lol it's not too bad, nothing worse than Regal's King theme but the problem is it's replacing The Great Gate Of Kiev.. nothing could do that.

Agreed on Lawler's theme and it sucking. What an odd time to change the theme anyway....

I hated his old theme, but at least I could hear it and it was distinctive. This new one's too quiet and what I could hear was really generic.

What I don't get is why they changed it to something soft and unrecognizable. It's not like they're "taking a chance" and trying something new. The new theme is just soft and next to nothing, hardly anything to it.

Here's hoping to them realizing that it was a dumb move to change it now, and he comes out to his staple theme at WM27.

I'm guessing there was a problem with the license, that's all I can think of.
Perhaps they don't want to pay to put it on the Wrestlemania DVD or something.

The song is public domain I believe, so it's not about them having a problem with having to pay for it (I think Harley Race comes out to it on one of the old WrestleMania DVDs).
I think it's more about owning this theme. Still sucks.

Are we going to see a new WWE CD soon or not?
I remember hearing DB's knock-off version of "Ride of the Valkries", but then they switched back to the original... thankfully...
But I always thought, though, that the silver lining to the knock-off theme was that we would be getting another CD soon... I guess not... but I can still dream dammit...

f***ing AWFUL...the old theme was so perfect, a fanfare made for a king. It's was as good as Flair's Space Odyssey theme.

it would be like changing HBK's theme one week before Wrestlemania 26

Listened to it now... it doesn't sound that bad... but it is a very odd time to change someone's theme... especially a hall of famer whose pretty much retired from in ring action.

I didn't even watch Raw when Lawler came out, and someone on here said in the Raw thread that his new music was King Booker's theme.
I just watched Lawler's entrance, and it's not really King Booker's music, but I wish it was.

Stupid decision, especially this close to Wrestlemania. Bring back his regular theme! (Of course, I'm not keen on Taker using Ain't No Grave as his regular theme, either, and I actually *like* that song. Nevertheless, it should just be for the video packages, not his entrance.)

I don't get why they changed it either. His other theme was much better. He's used for that for years and is now virtually retired so it seems pointless.
