View Full Version : The "New Entrance Theme" Thread

When a superstar gets a new theme, it should turn heads and give the notion that we're looking at somebody that's changed for the better. In this thread let's look at superstars' new theme songs and compare them to their previous ones!

Wade Barrett :

If themes were oxygen, then Wade's a cannonball. Poor Jim Johnston was given the arduous task of composing yet another track for Barrett and while it sounded 'alright' on the show, listening to it by itself is an ordeal. Apart from the catchy opening, it sounds more generic than the last one which sounded just fine to me. The parts where you hear Wade's "BOOM!" make me want to switch it off. It sounds gimmicky and silly once you hear it over and over again.

It's not bad, but it's not good either. It could grow on me in time unless WWE decides to change it again in a couple of months. Give this man an identity for crying out loud.

Previous entrance themes for Wade Barrett :

Nexus theme: Generic.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IT1audB6tn8

The Corre theme: Even more generic.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut0XaXRxN5Q

"Belongs to me" theme: Even more generic than the last.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pvHnSKXu20

"Don't Care Anymore" theme: This one was just fine.

Curtis Axel :

I was wide eye when then little guy's chipmunk face popped up on the screen. This is the perfect theme for the Perfect Son.

Previous entrance theme for Curtis Axel :

Michael McGillicutty theme: I actually considered this the best theme in WWE. I love the beginning and the vocals, and I even have it on my playlist haha!

I really like Barrett's theme. The one he first used after The Corre dissolved was the absolute best, though.

Anyone else notice all the recent changes to themes? Del Rio's had a little something added and Ryback lost his initial "Feed Me More".

I LOVE Barrett's new theme. He just has to learn how to work with it, rather than just wandering to the ring.

I was gonna say...I like Barrett's newest theme. The problem is like Cewsh said, he does the same entrance routine to every single theme. Dude clearly needs to change it up.

When I heard Barrett's new theme on RAW, I was intrigued but a little hesitant to like it. Then I listened to it on youtube and fell in love with it. It's really cool, good vibe, stands out. I like when guys have the 'classic' instrumental themes that aren't just some band singing. Some might call them generic but as long as they've got a recognizable hook and a vibe that works, I dig 'em.

I hate the start of Barretts new theme. I dont mind the bulk of it but I thought his last theme was great.

Giving a Northern God save the Queen is like giving a guy from New York a hillbilly theme. Its weird.

Bryans theme is excellent. Leave it alone.

Barrett's new theme is bad ass but 3 things are needed in order for it to be next level.

1st. Barrett needs some sort of a visual on the titan-tron in the very beginning from when the girl says "God Save Our King" through the part when the Heart is beating. Something similiar to Taz's Theme or Y2J's countdown.

Example:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzr1geHbMIQ

2nd. He Needs some Pyro or an explosion at 27 Seconds of the video. As soon as the music starts to hit hard. Then he makes his way out.

3rd. He needs to switch up his entrance swag.

Curtis Axel's titan-tron looks like something I could have made in WWE 13. Love the theme but visuals are horrifying.

Hopefully after a few matches we'll get some in ring action on the screen.

Love the theme it's fucking awesome!!

In a very general manner, people who are from the Northern parts of England (Manchester, Newcastle, Liverpool for example) are usually not very bothered about the Royal Family. They live in the South and there is somewhat of a North/South divide here. Barrett is from a very working class Northern town.

Then again so is Regal (Actually so are all our wrestlers come to think of it) but at least in Regals case he always played the snobbish role. Is England even Barretts gimmick? His gimmick is of a street fighter who just happens to be English. I dont think his nationality has ever really came into it.

May 27th, 2013, 5:53 PM
Big E. Langston :

When Big E. came out for a singles match a few weeks ago, I was immediately up in arms about his theme being changed since I'd been following him since NXT. The one he has now is just... generically black, and I don't mean to sound racist by saying that. I just can't think of another way to describe it! It lacks a pull or sense of explosiveness that Langston's previous theme had. This one is very flat, very basic, and it isn't something that will get a reaction out of fans. If this was to play at the Royal Rumble or at Wrestlemania, you'll hear nothing but crickets.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P9qaqgxReE

Previous entrance themes for Big E. Langston :


NXT Theme: This was perfect. It fit his entrance, his walk to the ring, his chest pound, all of it. Unlike its successor, it hits a stride 10 seconds in and it has intensity. If Big E. approves the theme switch, fine. I just think it lacks boat loads compared to his first one.

Big E's new one is better. It has more Swagger and thats what he shows.

Big E's theme is boss. Just gave the previous theme a listen and much prefer the new one. Better beat and seems like it has more intensity while still having a chill swagger about it at the same time. From what I've seen of him (and I'll admit, I haven't seen his NXT stuff) it feels like it fits him better.

MMH
May 28th, 2013, 7:38 AM
I like Langstons theme too. It could maybe do with a good hook at the start of it but other than that its fine.

Hero!
May 28th, 2013, 8:40 PM
I just hate the fact that every black guy has to have a hip-hop theme. Kofi is the only exception to the rule, but he's also had a raggae theme since his Jamaican gimmick days and I suspect they have changed it simply because he doesn't fit the "rap" mold, but he's too tan (winkwink) for any kind of rockin' theme.

Chris Scott

Yeah, big head scratcher about them changing Axel's theme when his first one sounded so perfect. This one sounds like it's missing half of it, like something wasn't layered on top. Unfinished is the word I'm looking for.

No buildup, just flatness. It doesn't make it bad, it's just truly odd decision making.

Axel's newest theme sounds far too much like Swaggers. And it sounds blander than the last one, like there's too much different stuff going on and it blends into something pretty flat.

Am I allowed to still like him? :\

Kotre
May 29th, 2013, 6:18 PM
He's also casually dropped "God save the Queen" into promos too. Either way I don't think it matters if he's a royalist or not. The important thing is it's recognisable, sounds awesome and saying "God save the Queen" is probably a decent hook to get heat with in the states (and cheers in the UK, obviously)

You also have to remember he spent years growing up in places like Wales, so it might be a relic of playing up his Englishness in an attempt to fit in.

Ringo

With Curtis Axel debuting and getting a revamped version of his father's theme, I started thinking about something. Now, I know loads of people are into themes vs songs and if we take a look at everyone who's who's gotten a new theme in the last couple of years, WWE seems to be doing away with songs in favor of themes:

- Barrett
- Axel
- The Shield
- Bryan
- 3MB
- AJ Lee
- Swagger (and now Cesaro)
- Del Rio
- Tensai
- Sin Cara
- Fandango
- Ryback
- Damien Sandow
- Brodus Clay/Tons of Funk

Nothing new, but just something that I found a bit interesting. I wonder if it's a money thing or WWE and Jim Johnston are just making a conscious effort to specifically create or find music that's tailor-made for the superstars.

I'll leave now...:(

VHS
June 22nd, 2013, 12:34 PM
I wish WWE would work out more deals so they can use songs by more recognized bands. There are tracks out there that would fit a superstar or diva like a glove and would do them a lot of good. Like Teddybears' Rocket Scientist, it would be a great theme for Kaitlyn or maybe even AJ.

Just check out their track record.

Noticing they did most of the new NXT themes that debuted on Arrival too which I was a big fan of, Paige and Neville's especially.

EDIT: Seeing they did Bo's new theme, only just listening to it for the first time now and it's amazing. Might be the video too though, a package deal, that makes it so awesome.

Some stuff not credited there, I see they did Adam Rose's new new theme. I know not everyone's sold on him or it, but they should be commended for doing a passable knock-off of the one they couldn't license.

If they're going to call someone the King of Swing, they need him to come out to something incorporating swing music, not some friggin Civil Defense AiIr Raid Drill horn.

Eddie Brock
May 2nd, 2014, 2:40 PM
WWE are good at abiding by that three second rule for the opening of a wrestler's entrance music, but they do occasionally create horrible themes. Music is the cornerstone of a wrestler. Often songs in wrestling have connections to their gimmick or past gimmicks. Take Cena for example, a guy with a rap song yet he plays a superhuman type of character. Brock is an example of a guy with a perfect song to match his personality. He's the Beast so what type of song does a Beast have? No lyrics no doubt.

I wouldn't change any entrance theme in the WWE at this moment, except for Cesaro's. The man needs a theme with more personality.

It's not a bad theme, but it doesn't fit Cesaro yet. The theme is very aggressive, and in your face. Cesaro might grow into the theme, but at this time it doesn't fit.


I think even Perry Saturn's theme would fit him better.

I like Cesaro's theme in a vacuum, but I don't think it suits him at all. I do like that it starts with the air raid siren as it gives him sometimes to "interrupt" with that is immediately recognizable (which hopefully means they're planning big things for him), but that's about it.

I've said this before, but I really think Randy Orton could use a new theme. I'd go so far as to say a new theme would make him feel fresh again. He's not very viper-y anymore.

They did a great job with Paige's theme, suits her perfectly.

CFO will be doing all new WWE themes from now on. CFO is a team of production guys hired out to WWE from wind up records and WWE has a good deal going with them. Luckily, I enjoy almost every theme they've made. Glad we're back to themes and away from licensed music, btw.

Not really a team, per say, just two guys isn't it?

I've seen a few of their YouTube Q&As, they seem like really cool guys who enjoy what they do and are big fans on top of that.

They've managed to put out a really wide variety of songs for all sorts of different stars.

My only issue, and this could me of a case of WWE being indecisive and/or rushing things, is that they seem to end up doing several versions of a song before settling on one, but then again that was happening with JJ too ("End of Days" being a prime example.)

Kyle_242
June 20th, 2014, 9:54 PM
Rollins' and Ambrose's's's are good 1st iteration themes, but I expect they'll get better at some point. Rollins sounds a little too much like some random theme I'd choose for my Create-A-Wrestler in a vidyagame.

Not sure how I feel about Reigns keeping the shield package, not just the theme but the whole getup. I'm hoping they're just finding something else for him since he seems to be the one they're really grooming for the main event. Keeping your faction's stuff post-breakup isn't cool, ask X-Pac.

Stardust's theme is fucking amazing, of course, since anything that has to do with Stardust is amazing.

I really like Ambrose's new theme tbh, I think it suits him down tot the ground - could maybes do with a little tweaking but the concept of it is perfect for him. its got that head bobby coolness to it.

I'm likeing Ambrose on his own the most so far since the split, I really like all three guys but Ambrose in the face role has something Austin about him - a bit unpredicatable, not really fussed about being pally with anyone loner kinda feel to him. His promos are getting better as well, they were great with the Shield but I think he's been able to open up more since.

The theme seems to capture the nature of his character.

The new Wyatt entrance is mega. Love the wall of lights and that guitar, epic stuff. I like all the new themes actually, liking that there's not so many songs with vocals in nowadays. There's been some really poor tunes with words in the last few years so they're curbing the trend. "I Came From Money", a lot of Barrett's old ones, Miz's, Kofi's, Sheamus' etc. are all cack whereas there's been some good instrumentals - Shield (after the customary vocals to open), Bryan's, We The People, Del Rio's, Ryback's original etc.

July 2nd, 2014, 6:19 PM
I have to admit, I haven't actually seen/heard the new Harper/Rowan theme outside of the clip posted above, so I haven't seen them come out to it, which can certainly help, and as I said, it might just need to grow on me.

Also Ambroses intro to his theme is perfect as someone said will get a huge pop as it hits. And its been doing just that. Like the iconic intros to Bret Hart, Austin, Punk, and Diesels esp.

CFO$ has been a real mixed bag with themes, most actually on the crap side. Ambrose had a good theme, Rollins was decent and Cesaro's was always average but this week all 3 were edited and came out much, much worse...

Ambrose is like a constant loop that stops and starts every 15 seconds, Rollins lost the guitars and Cesaro's theme must be an inside joke

I really love Sami Zayn's music. Suits him absolutely perfectly.

I think this debuted at the last NXT special.. To be honest I can't even remember what it was before this..

I actually liked Cesaro's old theme a bit. The tornado siren sounded cool and made sense with him using the Swing. New one just sounds terrible. Hopefully they keep tweaking it.

The Rollins theme is forgettable. Not really good or bad, just very generic. I feel like almost anyone on the roster could come out to that song.

The Ambrose theme is really great. The engine revving at the beginning is really distinctive and helps get the crowd going.

What are the best themes/songs out there right now? Swagger's has always really struck a cord with me, and it's even better now that he's a face. Both of Triple H's songs are timeless classics. I'll never get tired of hearing Henry's. Brock's theme is and always has been perfect. Dolph's is also tremendous (took some time to grow on me, but it's fantastic as a babyface song).

Worst? Ryback's is too flat and poorly suited to a heel. Sin Cara's is too quiet and puts the crowd to sleep.

Like... Rock music doesn't fit Cesaro, and the sirens are just weird.

I hate the repetitiveness of Ambrose's theme. I know it has to loop at some point, but it loops every few seconds with a different pitch or whatever it's called. I like the revving at the beginning.

I HATE Zigglers theme. Ziggler is a guy I should like but the presentation of him is horrible. His music, his titantron, his ugly blue and pink merch and his silly logos.

As for themes I like currently, I think Rusev's is fantastic, very old school and dramatic. Lesnars suits him perfectly, I love the bit at the start because everytime you hear it you think "oh shit" because thats what he is supposed to be.

And the Wyatts of course. Great theme and very unique.

I'd love to see Ziggler go the whole hog and just repackage himself completely Miami Vice. All neon, jacket with rolled-up sleeves, the full works.

Man its crazy that Cesaro is on his ninth theme, Rollins fifth and Ambrose fourth - guys have only been on the roster a couple of years, they should still be on 1st or 2nd. It just shows to me how unsure of themselves WWE are, they seem to switch things up one week to the next instead of just spending a bit longer getting them right first time round.

In what world does he suck. Sheamus is about the only thing keeping me watching. He's on absolute fire and his dickhead mode is simply fantastic. Nothing about him sucks at all. In fact that thing with Ryder where he was speaking away while beating the living pish out him was so good. How can you not enjoy him? Whatever your reasons are they are wrong.

It caught my ear too. Watching 205 Live tonight, it was the fist time I really listened to Gulak's Theme. It has a Japanese feel to it. One of the better entrance themes I've heard lately.

I really like Neville's remixed version. They just added heavy guitars, but it fits him so well.
