Best intro to a WWE show?

[Rican]

Across the Nation is my favorite

Any intro that gets me pumped for a show, which should be the intent.

[Bang Bang Bart]

The previous Raw intro set to “Enemies” was pretty decent. Energetic, and got you pumped for wrestling.

[Scott]

Wrestlemania 6...Vince, outer space, and the classic theme.

PPV themes...

I LOVED “Hero” by Skillet for the Royal Rumble 2010.

[beefy]

gonna add in my #2, then...

Raw is War, “Beautifiul People”, like, mid-97?

A warehouse, exploding barrels, and Ahmed, Austin, Bret, and others fighting in a ring. This intro was soon replaced by “Thorn in Your Eye” but I give it big nods for being an intro filled with original-ish footage, rather than just clips from previous RAW episodes/PPVs.

Also “I Want It All”, Smackdown 03 is SUPER underrated... black and white footage, then the rotating shots at the end... hell of an intro

If we're counting opening signatures here (since they're kinda intros to the shows), I like the 1998 Attitude one and the current Then, Now, Forever signature.

This definitely opened a show, the Armageddon 2000 Aftermath Vignette

The shit was so sinister and forboding, it made that Six Man Hell in A Cell seem like the most brutal shit that's ever happened and all six dudes would never be the same again.

Also one of the best Production Themes they've ever made.

[BrodietheSlayer]

Adding to the acknowledged kick ass RAW 97-99 openings, let's not forget the great little mini movies that both informed anyone coming into the show cold about what the main story happening was, as well as hyping them up before the "Thorn in Your Eye" theme even hit.


My personal favorite of these....


Vince McMahon's Master Plan

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

In terms of a modern intro, Wrestlemania 33's roller coaster run down of the main event level matches was flat out excellent, especially with Lesnar suplexing the car of the ride onto another portion of the track. In the stadium, the crowd booing and cheering for each appearance enhanced the experience.

[Alice Syndrome]

The Money In The Bank 2011 intro was amazing

[GuyOfOwnage]

For show intros...

...nothing quite beats this. The sirens, the barking dogs, the hard rock music, Austin walking through those explosions as the rest of the guys battled it out in a ring that was on fire...nothing said "we're done f***ing around" quite like that opening.

[The Yes Man]

Across the Nation still gets me hyped

Aside from the ones already mentioned, I really love the St. Valentine's Day Massacre opening.
The old fashioned sounding pop song "Crazy" playing with all these shots of Stone Cold, McMahon, Mankind, Undertaker, etc. is really humorous, and then it morphs into this creepy dark sounding music(the one Big Show and Luke Gallows went on to use a variation of, funny enough) with clips of Austin talking about busting open Vince McMahon and it goes from light-hearted to intense like that.
