Boardsies Decide - The Best Wrestling Theme Song... EVER

Shane O Mac - Here Comes The Money VS Stone Cold - Disturbed (Glass Shatters)
I love the Shane theme, but the Austin theme just carries so much weight with it as a theme song. Austin was a megastar, and the theme was hugely popular, and really suited him. Gave a whole new level of aggression to his entrance.

Legion of Doom VS Edge - Metalingus
L.O.D is just too classic a theme. One of the themes everyone knows and people that haven't seen WWE in decades will still recognise the "Oh What a Rush" line from the beginning.


Ric Flair WWE Theme VS Cult of Personality - CM Punk
Again, Cult of Personality is a great standalone song, but it's not an amazing theme as such. Anyone could saunter down the aisle to it, and Punk himself, good as he was, was probably better suited to the This Fire Burns theme for the bit of adrenaline on his entrance.


Undertaker - You're Gonna Pay VS Monday Night RAW - Burn It To The Ground
Undertaker's You're Gonna Pay was one of his best themes (arguably the best 'Bad Ass' theme he had). Can't vote against it when it's up against Burn It To The Ground.

Monday Night RAW - NWO music was the drizzly ****s. Only fondly remembered because of the b&w camera work

Shawn Michaels - Two songs that really suited both. Shattered Glass was perfect for heel Austin, loved it, but have to give the nod to Sexy Boy.

DX - Cult of Personality was fine but DX is iconic.

Jericho - Outisde the "OOooOOOooo WHAT A RUSH!" LOD's was average enough. Jericho's was great throughout.

Monday Night RAW - Burn It To The Ground VS NWO black & white - For Life
Although Burn it to the Ground was a good intro theme for RAW, I am beyond amazed it has made it so far in this tournament. A great TV intro theme, and well suited to it's purpose, but nowhere near as good as the nWo theme for it's ability to instantly change the atmosphere. Also carried a real iconic feel about it, too, as it lasted so long and always had a big impact (especially, as I keep on mentioning here, in WWE when the production quality got ramped up).


Shawn Michaels - Sexy Boy VS Stone Cold - Disturbed (Glass Shatters)
Arguably the best Stone Cold Steve Austin theme that he ever had. Much more aggressive and also lined up with his own character becoming much more aggressive. The Sexy Boy theme is a fantastic theme, and I love that they went to the effort of even getting Shawn himself to sing it, it really suited him, but it's hard to not get mental images of Austin doing his 'walk' to the ring, lumbering from side to side, and dragging the belt along the ground, down the ramp, as he shouted random abuse in every direction with Glass Shatters blaring in the background.

Cult of Personality - CM Punk VS D - Generaton X - original theme
Was never a massive fan of the DX Theme, but it's a significantly better theme than Cult of Personality was. I get that Punk used that theme before (and after) his WWE run and it had kinda been 'his' theme for a long time, but I just felt it was a little jarring with his character in WWE. His "smart mark" and "I'll say what everyone else won't" kind of thing was grand, but the theme just didnt click with me for it, for some reason. As a result, I'd vote DX through, not because I love it, but just because it's better than the alternative.


Chris Jericho - Break The Walls Down VS Legion of Doom
Again, when it comes to iconic themes, that you'll never forget, the L.O.D have to take it. Jericho's theme was amazing, and is obviously a much better standalone song, and perhaps there's an emotional/nostalgiac attachment to the L.O.D theme for me, but i just felt it was a great theme and the opening line always got a great pop.

Chris Jericho - Break The Walls Down VS NWO black & white - For Life

At this stage in the game, it's really picking based on trivialities more than anything else, I reckon, and all the themes are generally pretty good at this stage. For Jericho and the nWo I still have to reside firlmy in the nWo camp. Jericho's theme


The nWo theme stands out a lot as it's such a tinny theme. There's so little bass in the track that it just echoes through the arenas, and it gives such a different entrance vibe than many of the other themes out there (Triple H, Rock, Austin, Hogan, etc. where the bass is practically shaking the arena). Here's a great example as to why I love it.





The atmosphere (again, helped by WWE's production quality) really just adds a whole new level of depth to the theme and the entrance. It's so perfectly suited to an 'outsider' group (which was obviously the case for the nWo both when they appeared in WCW and WWE).

A fantastic track, that is identifiable anywhere along the way, and certainly played an important part in the overall image of the nWo and helped them with their successes and popularity over time.




Shawn Michaels - Sexy Boy VS D - Generation X - original theme

I really wanted to vote for DX, so we could have a DX vs nWo finale, but I just don't think it's the better of the two themes here, by any stretch. It's a grand theme, and I have watched a few DX intros and it did serve a great purpose and built them up as a great faction and such, but I just can't seem to 'get it' for some reason.

It doesn't help that it's up against an almighty classic either, that couldn't be any more suited to Shawn Michaels than Sexy Boy is. Michaels' entrance, his pace, movements, etc. throughout the years have always matched well with the theme tune, and it's never seemed like a theme that was forced on someone who was playing a character they didn't believe in. There's no doubt about Michaels' ego, and his embracing of the Sexy Boy theme, and the pop it got, was tremendous. A great example of a theme song doing exactly what it's supposed to.

Jericho - Great from start to finish and there's only so many way I can say NWO's was decidely meh haha

Shawn Michaels - Both iconic, both well suited to their performers, but Sexy Boy nudges it. Would have been a worthy final.

He was the best in the ring and his tune is the best of them all. NWO's is nothing without the black and white gimmick.
