Only one that I can think of that's missing is the briefly used "What the World Is Watching" intro with Howard Finkel instead of Gene Okerlund.
What's your favorite?

Man I got some nostalgia chills watching that one. I always forget how long they were pushing the “sports entertainment” thing, it always seems like such a new buzzword when really Vince has been trying to make it a thing since the 80’s.

The “Power is Back” signature (the one with the soundbites from various wrestlers) from 2005-2012 was always my favorite.

Just because it was more the era I was able to watch consistently, I was giddy they got the post WWF intro with Bischoff’s face flashing for a second.

All of these made me so nostalgic, even the ones from before I watched just because they feel so old school and awesome.
My favorite will always be the Attitude opening. You just knew you were gonna be watching something exciting and unpredictable.
The one from 2005-2012ish is great too, that one is from when I started watching again, the soundbites always got me hyped.
The current one actually does a great job at getting me excited as well.
I kinda wish they'd go old school and make one with a voice over like the old days, but I don't think they have anyone that can nail it like Mean Gene or whoever did the mid 90s versions.

I like the variant they had of that with Stone Cold's face showing up after they flash Bischoff's face (this was when they were co-GMs, so the signature for Raw reflected that).

I always got a kick of the crowd booing and then cheering for that. Always fun. Also the ones they randomly did after Bischoff went on leave and Orton's team won at that year's Survivor Series with each of their faces.

Technically, during the time they were playing the "over 50 years" bumper, the entity that would become WWE had only been around about 30. They must be referring to how long the McMahon family has been in the promotion game.

it seemed like they were telling us that they were the revolutionary force in sports entertainment for over 50 years for over 50 years

If we're nitpicking, they also didnt have the 2002-05 intro that had The WWE Experience as one of the shows, nor the 2006 intro with Benoit. But as for my favorite, I have to say I dig the "What the World is Watching" logo just for how epic it was.

It makes me feel old that I've been an active fan for all of those except the first one.
And the "revolutionary force" opening with the thunder and lightning will never not give me nostalgia chills.

I feel like I'm the only one who loves the "In over one hundred countries" intro.

My favorites were the very first one, love the retro art style. Then the attitude era ones. And I really like the current Marvel intro inspired one as well lol

The intro with all the TV show logos appearing made it seem like Vince was going to sell WWE with an announcement on Raw at that time.
