That Mid-90s Summerslam theme

[chazraps]

For whatever reason, probably because Summerslam tonight falls on the same night it did back in 1996, I've had the mid-90s Summerslam theme off-and-on stuck in my head. I only had faint memories of it, so on a lark I looked it up on YouTube and, wouldn't you know it, somebody uploaded it:

Does anyone else remember it sounding like a Super Nintendo character selection screen?

I really think it's a shame that WWE didn't hold onto the simple themes like that one and the ones for Wrestlemania, Rumble and Survivor Series. Maybe update them every few years but keep the same melody. These could've been timeless jingles but instead they've traded them for a series of songs that mean nothing to anyone. I mean I've been going through every Summerslam main event from 1988 to the present and on all the anthology DVDs there's this generic 00s rock song going "AHH WILL FIGHT YOUUUUUUUU!".

EDIT:(didn't click the link, assumed we were talking about the ones from 1989-1993 or so)

I miss PPV specific themes, Made them more special.

Seriously those 1990-1994 PPV themes are so awesome. I'm not sure why they got rid of them. I know there is something to be said for doing new things, but then you have people like Fox Sports doing it right: our NFL theme kicked ass in 1994, so why wouldn't it kick ass all the way until 2013 and beyond?

And it's not like those WWF themes sound dated in any way. You could make that the Summerslam theme this year and it wouldn't sound out of place.

All the original PPV themes piss on today's themes.
