TNA's theme songs are atrocious

[Super Nintenjoe KBD]

I haven't watched TNA really in about a year, but what used to always annoy me was that there was never a gap between peoples themes at the start of a match, unlike in WWE. Having a couple seconds in between songs adds a bit of suspense. But I remember reading on here that TNA had/have their themes lined up on an ipod hooked to the speaker system and that's why there were no gaps, it wouldn't surprise me if true.

DA DA DA DA ROB VAN DAMN! DA DA DA DA THE WHOLE F'N SHOW!

Actually, I think some of the best themes (not counting real songs used on the indies and whatnot) have come from TNA in the past few years.

My personal favorite:


Other good ones:

[Massive G]

there's some ok ones. I actually don't mind Jeff Jarrett's surprisingly, since I can't stand the guy.

but yeah, RVD's is the absolute worst, which is pretty fitting actually.

HARDCORE COUNTRY is this generation's American Males.

No. I liked "American Males" for the sheer cheesiness of it. "Hardcore Country" is the worst current IMPACT theme. However, Kelly Kelly's theme is WORSE, WAY WORSE.

I like most themes on IMPACT because they are wrestling themes that are written exclusively for the wrestlers and many of them are catchy as hell.

f***ing awesome: Jeff Hardy (Another Me). I never liked Jeff's music, but this song is actually proof that you could polish what seemed to be a turd and turn in into freaking gold. Seriously, the IMPACT version of his theme is among my top 10 songs of this year which does not mean much as most of today's music sucks donkey ass. However, if Jeff ever quits wrestling he should work together with the guys who produced this.

Awesome: Beer Money

Good: Winter, AJ Styles, Immortal, RVD (it has grown on me)

Bad: Mexican America

Atrocious: Hardcore Country

I love RVDs because of how awful it is

Were you annoyed when WCW used to do that? Cause I remember when one wrestler's music would quickly switch to the other wrestler's music during WCW's entrances. This happened for most of the company's existence, beginning in the early 1990s.

I can agree that the stuff they're churning out as of late is like that. A.K.A. Gunner's theme, Crimson's theme, Austin Aires' theme, etc.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK! TAKE IT BACK RIGHT NOW!

[Krimzon]

The majority of their themes are awful, but they earned 3 years of forgiveness due to Orlando Jordan's theme. Let's have a moment of silence for that.

[Citizen Zero]

I actually liked most of TNA's theme songs that I've heard. (Jeff Jarrett, Abyss, and Winter spring to mind)

I'm sort of baffled at how, despite not having even a quarter of it's funding, they've managed to put out much better theme songs than WCW.

[Deleted]

I always wondered why they never found real bands to write some themes for them. I'm not talking Aerosmith or anything, but there's got to be tons of unsigned or indie label bands who would love for their song to be heard by a million people each week.

[The Summer of Muskrat XVII]

I really like Mr. Anderson's music for some reason. It's simple, but it's really catchy.

And Angle's has always been great, I can't hear Lunatic Fringe on the radio now without thinking of him

[Gummydavidson]

Fortune Four!

[Cyno]

There's a lot of good TNA theme songs. I love Winter's theme. I also really like Angle's, AJ's, Madison's, Abyss' old theme (don't like the current one), MCMG's, and a few others.

Though yeah, Hardcore Country is pretty awful.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

My favourite one was Christian's and then I got told it was a direct lift from an Evanescence song.

I still love this theme:

[clashofchampains]

They should given Orlando's first theme to another wrestler along with Pacman Jones' theme too.

TNA's themes are not so bad overall, I think I like the themes for

AJ
the old Abyss them
Beer Money
Roode and Storm in single
JJ
Winter
TBP/Velvet
Immortal

Kendrick's theme is ok but it doesn't fit him too well. I know he was crazy before and it kind of worked then but I think his theme would fit better to someone more otherwordly.

[percymania]

Angle, Styles, Winter, Jarrett, and Velvet all have great themes.

Not true at all.

This always bugged the hell out of me, since 90% of the roster had themes so generic that you often couldn't tell when one guy's theme stopped and the next guy's started.
