Especially these days where iTunes and the like makes it possible for them to release these, there tend to be a lot of themes in wrestling that get made and either don't end up being used or are only used very briefly. So, what are some highlights that stand out that should have been used?
I'll get what I consider the obvious two out of the way from the start - Quien Soy Yo and Fury of the Storm. I seriously can't think of Carlito without wondering why the hell he never used the former, while the latter... I get why it wasn't used for its intended purpose since I can tell from SvR 2007 (or just by listening to it) that it doesn't remotely fit Rob Van Dam, but it's still a great theme in my opinion. Tend to use it for my main CAW.
Then there's ne that... I get why it wasn't used, but still - the 2011 version of Written in My Face. The singing in it is pretty terrible, but I do think as a whole it sounds like much more of a big deal and more of a main event thing than the standard version of the song. I do prefer the original, definitely, but I think the remake does sound more like a main event theme.
Oh, the alternate version of Broken Dreams too. I like the original a lot but the alternate one gives it a run for its money.

Yeah, I have to concur with the alternate Broken Dreams. If Drew breaks away from 3MB in the future, I hope he uses that version. One that I am strangely fond of is the original version of SOS, "Hard Pill To Swallow". Dunno why. It's interesting that it sounds a lot more upbeat than SOS, which beyond the beat is frankly quite sinister.  |

The S-Preme version of David Otunga's theme Power is a lot better than the one they did use.

I'm still waiting for the Zakk Wylde version of Jericho's theme that Jericho claims to have on his iPod.

The much better and more energetic Downstait cover of 'Oh Radio', should they ever decide to give Ryder an actual chance. Always thought he'd fare better if they toned down the more over the top "Broski" elements of the character and had him come out to this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lbm_WWhKx0 |

Came here to post this. What a great theme - he used it once (maybe twice?) before reverting back to Hornswoggle's song. I thought Finlay should've had one last serious face run on Raw, maybe getting a tv title match before hanging it up. This theme would've helped him get that over, I think. |

Jim Johnston and some band on crack. That's my best guess. |

The S-Preme version of David Otunga's theme Power is a lot better than the one they did use. Uh, the version he uses is S-Preme? Anyway, I agree with the alt version of Broken Dreams being used. Could see it being his theme for if, hopefully when, he transfers to the Main Event scene. On a bit of a tangent, I hate the way people on Youtube upload some, shitey, emo cockrock song and put stuff like "CM PUNK UNUSED THEME FOR HIS SUMMER RETURN!!123!" It's like, where did you get the information from? And how in the hell does this even remotely suit Punk? Eech. Youtubers. |

It's the proof of concept demo for the song. It was never intended to be heard outside of Jim Johnston and Motorhead. |

Granted, Punk does have an unused theme from his New Nexus days... though it's better left unused in my opinion. |

All of them were terrible. |

The only "unused" Punk theme that was actually supposed to be used at any point was Playing the Saint
