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

    You have to give this one to the NWO.
    The Ayatollah of Rock'n'rolla had a great run, but when you look at the black/white camera, the takeover effect, and just how cool they seemed at the start (not as much 10 years later when they were limping down the ramp), this is a classic.

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

    My heart says DX, my brain says HBK. I was a massive t-shirt wearing DX kid, but the Sexy Boy music was iconic, and the fact it stayed with him for his entire career said it all.

    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.

    NWO for me. Wouldn't be a huge fan of the Michaels one and NWO is pretty catchy

    New Wo.. New.. NewNewNewNew New World Order...

    SelfreliantPoisedHogget-size_restricted.gif



    Has to be the nWo for me, for the various reasons stated throughout. The only one I'll re-hash is the theme's strongest point; it's ability to completely alter the atmosphere in the arena, but to do so in a way that was different. Perhaps its something my imagination or the nostalgic bones in my body are inventing, but I always felt the nWo entrance gave a slightly different atmosphere than the typical one you get when the glass shatters, the 'If You Smell' like is played or Goldbergs military style drums start rattling away.

    The nWo theme was almost anti-climatic in that it didn't hype everyone up to 11, and start rattling the arena with its fast-paced tempo or screaming lyrics. It was slow and steady and a bit different in many ways to the usual themes people think of when they think of da rasslin'.

    (also, purely nit-picking; but I believe the theme is called 'Rockhouse').


    EDIT: Just a little trivia, how the nWo theme came about - a mish mash of Jimi Hendrix tracks

    NWO. It changed the mood of the entire arena. The whole crowd’s demeanor changed the minute the static hit. Fit their cool bad guy aura so well. Their intro was a major part of their act without it explicitly being said.

    4 Life

    Have to go with HBK, that song has lasted his entire career (OK the early version was worse)

    I've been watching WCW 1996 the last few weeks.... . Guys..... the NWO were cool for about 4 months... from May to August.. that's it.

    Once The Giant joined in September it was ruined, him trying to explain some long winded story about going to Hogan's house and how many Mercedes he owns was so bad, Hogan just kept interrupting him and just flips the table over when The Giant is mid-sentence. He was the champion at the time and he just turned into their bodyguard, it was a terrible decision.

    And then fricking Virgil and Sean Waltman joined! Lame. Don't even get me started on the fake Sting lol! It's them seven now with DiBiase and from what I hear it gets even worse!!!

    So yeah... HBK.

    There's no doubt the faction became extremely bloated beyond any level of recognition of it's original self. However, the theme was still an amazing addition and I'd argue is one of the things that made them "cool" and popular (or at least their image of being so) last so long.

    I'm really torn here, but I think having HBK sing the song himself gives him the edge. It has longevity, it worked as both a baby face and a heel them, and is instantly recognisable so wins for me.

    Both are superb though, and the NWO theme, and the subsequent Hogan entrance theme got me into Jimi Hendrix.
