PW Non-WWE Theme Song Tournament

thebostoncrab

Since the WWE theme song tournament has reached it's final 8, it's time to look at who should be included in the non-WWE version.

This is for any theme that was not produced by WWE, but songs that featured in WCW, NWA, TNA, ROH, AJPW etc. There will be the occasional overlap but nothing to major I think. The votes will start once the WWE theme thread has finished.

So that gives us plenty of time to submit what belongs in this side of the water. I have included 32 themes that I would go for, just keep throwing names that I might have overlooked and we will take it from there.

As I say, voting won't start until the other tournament has reached its conclusion so to avoid confusion.

Hmm, I wonder if we can get this up to a nice neat 128 before the end of the WWE Theme Music War Tournament.

That's what I'm hoping, but I also don't want to put something just for the sake of it. I'm sure there are plenty of other tunes I'm missing

brianregan09

Jarrets TNA theme was class

Omackeral

Robbie E
ODB


Both cheesy TNA acts

thebostoncrab

Just 34 more themes needed and it's a perfect torni number! (Resisting the urge to put more Dragon Gate themes in)

gerTheGreat

Well, 96 would allow for a first round to be contested under triple-treat rules before reverting to one-on-ones.

Excellent idea!

Omackeral

Triple threats in the first round is a savage, and different, idea.

thebostoncrab

And we have our 96 songs!

thebostoncrab

Now that the final for the WWE themes is up, the first match up will be posted shortly!

thebostoncrab

Round 1

The first to 5 votes will make it through to round 2.

Please give your reasons for your vote or it won't count!

The Briscoe Brothers (ROH)



vs.

Mickie James (TNA)


vs.

James Gibson (ROH)

beakerjoe

Always a soft spot for the Briscoes. And in fairness not mad about the others.

Machismo Fan

HARDCORE COUNTRY!!! Always liked Mickie's pretty much 90% due to the intro (and it's a pretty good song in general). Plus it could be adapted for HARDCORE JUSTICE!!! when necessary.

Alfred Borden

Gonna go for the Briscoes, suits them down to the ground and their wrestling style.

thebostoncrab

Don't wanna feel left out, my vote goes for The Briscoes. Suited them perfectly and I liked it so much I picked up a best of Lynyrd Skynyrd album in HMV for €5 just for the song...hated the rest of the album!

gerTheGreat

I really like that James Gibson theme. Kinda has a Cats and the Cradles vibe to it. Not sure how it would work but it's so different from what the WWE would use, I can't help but like it. Strikes me as very iPod friendly too.

So, James Gibson.

Omackeral

Mark and Jay to advance. The duelling banjos at that start certainly suits Dem Boys. It's gas how all three have the Southern theme if they were randomly selected!

thebostoncrab

One more vote for them and The Briscoes progress on! Can either Gibson or Mickie make a comeback?

Same as the last few tournaments, it's interesting to see what people have to say and it gets a discussion going, rather than people just posting names. Just a line, not an essay

Jester252

Going of a theme with the themes?
Going to go with Mickie, just prefer it over the other two

Nope, I laughed when these 3 got paired together since they they are all country songs, the machine knew


Score now is Briscoes 4 Mickie 2 Gibson 1

thebostoncrab

Just noticed I got the voting numbers wrong, other tournaments had the first round as the first to 4 votes, so Briscoes have actually made it through!

Round 1, Fight 2

CM Punk - ROH


vs.

nWo Wolfpac - WCW



vs.

Steve Corino - ROH

beakerjoe

CM Punk, one of my favs..... pity its lumped in with the Wolfpac theme as I like that too but CM punks theme should go far here

My vote : CM Punk!

thebostoncrab

Same as, Wolfpac and Punk are two of the best themes in the whole thing so it's tough to see them face off in round 1....my vote also goes with Punk though, out of every theme he has ever used nothing tops AFI. The build up is brilliant and the crowd hitting the guardrails in time with the song just made his entrance seem so epic

I wanted the AFI theme to play when he turned heel, would have been great in his SES days.

Alfred Borden

Great matchup but going with the Wolfpac, suits them down to the ground and was just so cool.

A Rogue Hobo

Has tto be AFI, epic drum beat.

thebostoncrab

One more vote and Punk is through, score is 3 -1 - 0

Machismo Fan

Wolfpac, one of my favourite themes ever.

Jester252

Going to vote for the Wolfpac, I really like that theme

thebostoncrab

3 for Punk and 3 for Wolfpac with poor old Steve Corino on 0, if either Punk or Wolfpac get another vote then they have won the round

Hashtag_HEEL

nWo: Wolfpac baybay! Throwin' out my wolf signs listening to that. Favourite WCW theme!

beakerjoe

Know I know how many felt when Assman/Real Mans Man went out in the WWE theme warz. Im actually freaked that AFI is gone.
