I think Real American is the best choice, it was his theme initially after all.

Plus there is potential for it annoying a lot of the trolls on youtube

And you could use Voodoo Chile for Hogan too.

No matter what I do, it WILL annoy the YouTube trolls anyway.
And I still hesitate about Voodoo Chile for Hogan. It's true that it would be weird to hear a theme twice in the list, but at the same time, Voodoo Chile is HOLLYWOOD Hogan's theme.
I think I'll go for option C and try and do a mix of both Real American and Voodoo Chile.

Good choice bro ;D

good to see the bulldog and owen pretty high in the table HHH being low is a suprise

I thought the opposite for Triple H, with the online dislike people have for him I thought he might even miss out all together, but I`m a big fan, so I`m glad he got in

I think that was pre-empted before the vote

Hey ! Guess what ? fr.youtube.com/watch?v=ySnLm7-AwLI

Note: sorry for the amateurism and overall lameness of the thing. I promise I'll try harder on the next one. -__-

EDIT: I also just noticed that the compression f'd up the texts... damn...

[strykerdarksilence]

That my be the most badass thing I have ever seen in my life.

I even get put over at the start! WOOOOOOOO!

You all want to be me right now! (Except for the hip replacement and fused ankles)

Thanks SnakeyB. That is simply awesome. ;D

Edit:

I didn`t even notice the text being too small! ;D

Oh and I forgot how badass Dynamite Kid`s and Inoki`s themes are ;D

Thanks, it feels good when people focus on the good sides of things.

That being said, I'm still not 100% sure I want to be the semi-bionic result of a Black reign/IRS/Doink sexual perversion.

Oh and yes, Inoki & Dynamite Kid's themes are badass but just you wait... a mix between Real American and Voodoo Chile.

You're not being a dick because it is a fair question, and the answer, if honest, is no.

I appreciate the guy who said if it weren't for the two Hart brothers he would not be a fan, but that doesn't mean he is all-time Top 20. Hell, Buzz Sawyer and Tommy Rich really got me into wrestling, but I wouldn't put them one and two all-time.

I realize that most people probably voted based on personal favorites, and that reason along with his death is why Owen is listed this high. Of course, the guy who voted him number two skewed the rating so badly he wound up a lot higher than anyone other than the biggest Owen fan would rank him.

Thats a fair point, but in the initial thread where I asked for votes, I said people could base their votes on whatever criteria they felt important, so the countdown (obviously in some other cases i.e Beefcake) reflects opinion rather than popular opinion.

Well, sexual perversions are a good things in themselves, but when it involves a psycho clown, an IRS agent and a Goldust rip-off, it's EVIL.

Also, thanks Humanoid. I'm currently updating a version with better image quality.
