What does Beethoven have to do with Jack Perry?

[Fake Jesus]

This feels like one of those trademark dumb AEW choices. How on earth does this go with the gimmick? What's the connection?? I just don't understand

[HMARK Center]

People loved to dance and sway and sing along to Tarzan Boy.

Good luck doing any of that to Beethoven's Fifth.

I think they could've gone for something a bit less cliche, granted, but I think that's the larger idea behind it.

He likes a bit of the lovely Ludwig Van before the old in-out with Anna Jay.

[dbsot]

Beethoven (movie) and 90210 were big in the early 90s.

Yeah I don't know if I'm feeling this specifically for him, but he needed a different vibe and Beethoven certainly is that.

[Bo Rida]

Beethoven left a symphony unfinished, Jack Perry's heel perosna is also unfinished.

[KME]

Think they just went for something that's impossible to sing or dance along with and is the polar opposite to what he had before.

I thought it was awesome. Jack Perry's heel character is a spoiled, entitled, "high society" Silver spoon brat. Classical music has always been associated with those types of people. To me, it's not all that much different from the original Hunter Hearst Helmsley entering to Ode to Joy.

Then, there's the fact that Beethoven's 5th is generally believed to represent "fate knocking at the door," which plays into Jack acting like he was fated to be a singles champion as the basis for his heel turn.

I also enjoy how he went from a catchy singalong song to one that it is literally impossible to sing with. Just cements the heel turn.

I'm actually starting to like his persona.... I wasn't sure if he could pull it off at first, but it's really growing on me now.

Jack Perry is a dude from LA walking out in a leather jacket. It just does not fit

He's the wealthy son of a millionaire actor from LA who turned heel because he felt entitled to the accolades and attention his buddy from Red Hook was getting. I'm not dogging anyone's opinion, I just am saying I thought it was cool, and I think that classical music fits a spoiled Hollywood elite character. 

[Mid-Carder]

Same as what Bryan Danielson has to do with Europe or Wagner. It's just a cool theme song.

Also the thread title sounds like the start of a joke but I can't think of a punchline

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

He's an evil theater kid so it makes sense. Plus it follows a pattern Christian took with his themes and those two will always have a connection together.

[The Ichi]

I think over time they'll remix it or just keep the start of it, like Danielson's theme opening with Flight of the Valkeries.

I dig it, he's like Christian but worse


Christian rips off Bohemian Rhapsody

Jack Perry just uses Beethoven

Christian rips off Evanescence

I assume next Jack Perry also rips off Evanescence, but just the rap part from Bring Me to Life

[schizo]

He’s going to start coming out to the ring with a st bernard dog ala Rene Dupree and FiFi

I was just about to suggest that. That theme is an actual banger
