Jacques Rougeau managed to not only have two great themes with two separate gimmicks, but also got to sing both of them.

Matt Sydal using Clavicle by Alkaline Trio is still one of the more unusual entrance themes.
"I want to wake up naked next to you" sure is a choice of lyrics to enter to.

I've always liked the Drowning Pool version of The Game way more.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I loved all of Steve Austin’s post heel turn themes & actually preferred them to the original Stone Cold theme.
Also, Tekno Team 2000 had the most underrated theme of all time… absolute banger.

Kaval's WWE theme is probably the best theme that was ever wasted on someone who went nowhere.

The only reason I miss Alex Riley is so my CAW in games could have his theme again. My favorite of all the themes I've given him throughout the years.

I unironically like Rikishis heel theme.

Austin's Ringmaster theme is highly underrated.
It's basically like if Hannibal Lecter had an entrance theme.

Billy Kidman getting a DMX type song with lyrics about drugging dudes and taking their clothes off is still absolutely hilarious almost 20 years later.

It's weird that AJ Styles used to come out to Touched by Vast, which was Dale Oliver'd for Lance Hoyt in TNA, and then was one of the songs they used in the WM25 recap music video.

Hakushi's theme is still amazing, but one time I noticed how reminiscent it is of the main theme for The Godfather and now that's all I can hear.

The "Slow Chemical" Kane theme is f***ing awful, and I hate that Kane had it for years.
"What if we made his theme slower and plodding, and then you get 4 femtoseconds of lyrics once he's in the ring. There, that was worth paying a band to make this."
Benoit's theme similarly sucked.

The Sultan's theme song was a banger and far more deserving of a better character/gimmick. I like to imagine Jim Johnston alone in the studio at 3AM on acid and coke just rocking out coming up with shit like that. (I'm sure he never did that But I do know he did them alone and played all the instruments himself) Edit: Remembered it was passed on to Tiger Ali Singh and Lo Down I think? So yeah didn't get a better gimmick! This theme was the cousin of the Orient Express theme that got reused for every Japanese wrestler until like 1996. Being a fan since the late 80’s (basically since I’ve been born because of my brother), I legitimately love the Orient Express theme. I will just randomly start whistling/humming it and then will have to put it on repeat on YouTube until it gets out of my head. Speaking of Asian music, I love Lord Tensai’s theme youtu.be/38YYd1ecGZgWhy they asked Albert to wrestle at a snails pace I will never know as I loved him as Albert/A-Train/Giant Bernard and then the Lord Tensai gimmick ruined Lord Tensai.

When I had WWF Attitude as a 13 year old, I put a tape recorder beside the TV and played each theme within in the game recording them onto cassette to make my own "WWF: The Music" complete with album art and tracklisting. At some stage I had a CD bought in the US of cover versions of wrestling themes from both WWF and WCW somehow which was pretty cool, I remember the Shamrock one being good. But my first official WWF CD was Aggression in 2000 which I f'n loved.
