Not a licensed theme but since this is the only AEW theme thread I see right now they finally released Nemeth's awesome new theme. I absolute love this theme,their best original theme

I've decided Wild Thing just sucks as an entrance theme. Takes too long to get going and there are far too many quiet spots for a wrestling theme. Bring back Mox's generic guitar riff.

The giant crowd that sang along with it as loud as they could last night vehemently disagreed with you. OK. I don't really care at all about argumentum ad populum, and the average-sized crowd that mistimed the chorus last night will chant along to anything with an easily chantable, repetitive chorus.

I think it works well for Mox, but it wouldn't be a bad thing to trim it a little so that the chorus hits sooner or even have it start with "WILD THING" blasting out.

Not to pile on but Onita has come out to the song for like 30 years and its still super over. Whether its front of 100 people at a skate rink in south Jersey or a the Tokyo Dome

Agreed. "Everyone else likes it, so you're bad/weird/there's something wrong with you" is the worst f***ing argument ever, and all it does is serve to erode the target's mental health.

I wasnt a fan at first, but the response/entrance at DoN sold me completely.

Jesus I didn't even say he couldn't dislike it I just said it clearly worked because the crowd was hot for the theme and that's exactly what they wanted live crowds to do with it. If it works, it works. Mox with Wild Thing is working. I'm not "eroding mental health" in observing that. I'd argue shitting on the crowd for having a good time is also a pretty shitty thing to do as well but that's just me.

It's serving its purpose, getting the crowd involved and creating memorable moments. Whether or not someone likes it, doesn't take away from what it is accomplishing. I think that is all we are saying. I personally can't stand a lot of themes in AEW, Britt's and Death Triangle's come to mind, but if it helps identify the wrestler(s) and give them something fun to come out with, go for it.

For what it's worth, based on the responses I saw at a bar full of die-hards on Sunday, the theme song overness level was this:
1. Judas 2. Tarzan Boy 3. Wild Thing 4. Pixies
Everyone lost their minds when Jungle Boy won.

Personally where I fall on them is Mox's is great, OC's is alright, not a fan of Jungle Boy's.

I mean, I get the personal preference thing but at the end of the day, like most of wrestling, if something clicks with a wrestling crowd, well, it sort of doesn’t matter as much about preferences?
Like, people chanting along with it, even if it’s off key, is better than nobody reacting to it at all and builds a better atmosphere for a show.
To put a WWE example; I don’t like Voices as Orton’s theme, Burn in my Light is way better but Voices is more of a “serious” theme for the guy and has a better “set up to a mega pop” theme for Randy then BimL did so…it’s factually better.

I disagree with that. I dont think he was saying that arguement. He was saying the crowd loved it and changing it back would be a mistake. I think it was just worded poorly

If the person said Pixies was the worst theme that Khan bought then everyone here would be happy.

Same issue with OC and the Pixies song being used for Best Friends as a whole.

Pixies issue is more about not popping the crowd like the other themes.
