because what AEW actually DESPERATELY needs is some real music as intro music to their TV shows. The Dynamite theme song is shit and the Rampage theme is barely a song at all.
When I have friends over to watch AEW I always make a point to skip the first 2 minutes just avoid us having to cringe in unison at those awful themes. It's that bad.

I recognise the open and it gets me hyped, so I have no issues. For either show

Really? I've felt nothing wrong with Dynamite or Rampage's openings. They only play for like fifteen seconds too so idk why you're cringing so hard and are skipping the first two minutes of the show. This seems like an insane overreaction to me but to each their own.
I think Dynamite especially has done a great job as being a standout and hype theme. Better than "ARE YA READY FOR A GOOD TIME!?" and whatever the hell RAW's done with their theme songs for years now tbh.

That is all.

I need him to buy The Final Countdown. That is all. When TK says it’s too expensive, that’s way too expensive. His family could buy another football team (proper or American)without even blinking.

Ready for This, the song they used during the EliteSquad entrance (and one most known for Space Jam) was apparently $50,000 a show to get. From accounts from ROH and such, Final Countdown’s rights were $250,000 a show. Which, I mean…no.

1000 % disagree. There's nothing more hype to me than Dynamite's theme. Very similar to old Raw themes when they weren't just licensing songs from popular artists.

the Dynamite theme needs to stay, just remix it every year or so. Rampage's is okay, but I wouldn't hate it being changed.

As somebody who uses Fite TV, I'd actually rather have commercials than hearing three whole minutes of "THIS IS RAMPAGE".

Uh...I really like both themes? To each their own, but I find em recognizable and distinctive from each other. I don't know why you'd be embarrassed to have them play in front of friends?

Yeah, like, the Rampage theme might need a tweak but the Dynamite theme is the perfect “psyke you up to watch” themes in the way Across the Nation and Beautiful People were.

That's something that's been missing from wrestling for the last twenty years, original theme music. ted dibiase/mountie/bret/shawn/repoman, etc all had original theme music made for them, they didn't take a "real song" and play it as their music. It works on the indies where they don't have the budget and it's more "in your face" scaled down in local buildings, but in an arena with a billion dollar company, they should have their own theme music department making the music for the show

I agree their intro to the shows could be way better.

I like the Dynamite theme, but Rampage theme sucks.

I like the themes but I think they could feel more different from each other

As somebody who uses Fite TV, I'd actually rather have commercials than hearing three whole minutes of "THIS IS RAMPAGE". Haha this is how I feel too. Saying that even though I have to listen to each intro for 3 minutes multiple times I still hadn't found either to be awful.
