Can we talk about how awesome CFO$ is lately?

[Deleted]

Do still think some of their older work could use some revisiting (*coughRollinscough*), but man, they are just killing it lately on the music front. Pretty much every semi-recently introduced theme - AJ and Nakamura come immediately to mind - is just awesome.

The themes are much more colorful now. CFO$ has great versatility as a group. They sound comfortable doing pretty much any style.

[Pushed to the Moon]

Asuka's theme is awesome.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

I think they got a bad rap when they started out because of a couple of early duds (the OP mentioned Rollins, but Cesaro is the one that gets brought up a lot), but they've been good pretty much the whole time.

[Raskovnik]

My big complaint would be they make about thirty seconds of a good song and then just loop it, when I would really like full versions.

The really weird thing with Cesaro is they had a really good theme for him with the air raid siren, then they just randomly switched to that ambulance siren for some stupid reason.

Granted I dunno what was wrong with Miracle to begin with.

The only think I do not like, mainly with lyrical tracks, is that they only make around a minute or so of music and then just literally repeats again. Obvious not that important on instrumental tracks as its been done before (Stone Cold, Undertaker, etc.), but it's way more noticeable on lyrical tracks.

I'm glad Sasha Banks started this CFO$ side business it may when all is said and done be more critically acclaimed than her sports entertainment career.

Considering Jim Johnston's themes pretty much seem to stick to one style overall, loving the variety from CFO$.

Personally (again, just me), I almost want to say the themes aren't what I would expect with the person they're matched up for the first second (AJ, Finn, Joe, Nakamura, I'm thinking) but somehow it's just perfect.

Hell, I even liked Joe's first theme when he debuted on NXT

I think they really are up there on the level of Jim Johnston at this point, and that's no small feat. The versatility they've got, and how well the songs suit their characters and lend themselves to an entrance is fantastic.

I'm split on Joe's theme. I don't like it as much as Crush U Up, but it's probably as close as you can legally get.

Are you calling Bayley a liar?

I think I'm missing a joke here.

Their early themes were pretty terrible (though they had some gems too - Paige's theme continues to kick ass) but they've been on fire as of late.

 It was a while ago but Bayley & Carmella did videos of them singing wwe themes in the car and when Sasha's came on Bayley said Sasha did the vocals and I believe played most it not all of the instruments.

You're confused there, yeah she does the vocals on her own song but she isn't CFO$ anymore than Shawn Michaels is Jim Johnston for doing his own vocals.


^That's CFO$.

[Instant Classic]

Samoa Joe's theme is my absolute favorite.

[Mid-Carder]

I had a thread a while ago about how awesome they are. It's so great to have themes that are unique to that person instead of some shitty band doing some shitty generic theme.

[Perfect Timing]

I actually look forward to a debuting wrestler more now just to hear what awesomeness CFO$ will come up with.
