Who Needs New Entrance Music?

Okay, who in your opinion has the most irritatingly bad entrance music and needs a change?

In my opinion, most wrestlers need new music, but we all know the WWE doesn't want to shell out the bucks to the artist to use any real "good" music except Killswitch Engage (for CM Punk), so what would ideal music be if they theoretically were to start?

Kane. His music is DEPLORABLY bad. Finger Eleven? Wow. Let's try to get this monstrosity of a man over with a post-grunge butt rock band like Finger Eleven. Kane is supposed to be visually and psychologically terrifying. Shouldn't his music accompany that presentation? My ideal music for Kane would be Dimmu Borgir's "Heavenly Perverse".

Edge. His music blows, hard. When I look at Edge, I think of one music genre: Thrash. He needs Anterior's "Dead Devine". It would be perfect for him and what his character embodies.


Who else needs new music and what is your replacement suggestion?

People care about entrance music? It's about as important as your attire...

^^^To be fair, entrance, music, attire etc. can enhance a character/gimmick...



To me, the most important part about entrance music is that it has that instant sense of recognition (thanks to a cool intro or musical motif) to make the crowd pop as soon as the first few notes hit. At the moment, a lot of the rock/metal entrance music they use is too generic sounding.

Eh, i've personally never taken much notice of it. Superficial stuff imo.

Superficial stuff is important in wrestling though. Having the right look helps you a lot.

I was thinking when watching RAW that Kofi may need a new theme if he's going to be more serious. His theme seems a bit too light hearted.

Look no further than The Undertaker, Kane or even L.O.D.

I'd like to add that the Big Show's theme has been bad for years, but I don't know how it could be changed for the better. It's like the took the leftovers from Diesel's trucker blues music and added a singer, lol.

I also think kofi needs new music now, What with his accent gone. And his huge push to ME i think he will get new music TBH. His music he got now fits him an all. But i just think with his push then a new entrance theme is in order. I dont really like Drew Mcintyre's entrance TBH but thats just down to personal choice it fits him i just dont like it.

I agree that Entrance music is important. When certain themes hit you get pumped instantly. Especially when you are at Live/House shows it wicked. IMO sometime a Superstars entrance can change the way a show is going. If I'm bored or falling asleep then someones music hits for example HHH boom I'm up and awake and interested again. That happened on Mon night. Raw dont air till 2am over here and i was starting to tire watching the divas my eyes kept closing, I dont usually mind but the diva's were quite good this week, Anyhow i must have started to doze off just before the end and next thing DX music hit and i thought shit and sat straight up. See there is a good point to Entrance music they can be an alarm clock lol

^To add to that, remember when the sound of Glass Shattering would verberate throughout the arena, and out would walk Stone Cold? EVERY time it hit, the arena nearly exploded with excitement.

It's just not the same when you hear Edge's theme music with that awful whining, Nirvana wannabe boy band singer "On this dayyyyy..I see clearly...." FAIL HARD.

That's the kinda shit I'm talkin' 'bout (or to a lesser extent that opening chord of 'The Game')...

That whole kinda 'he's coming' effect....

I agree that entrance music is actually massively important. And some wrestlers actually have perfect entrance music, i.e Randy Ortons just fits him perfectly imo.

Who needs an imporvement....... John cena... that popcorn rap shit just don't feel right anymore. When you here Cena, cutting some of his real good promo's with the passion and excitement, that works, but not after he's come running out to the 'You can't see me, my time is now'. Hopefully a heel turn somewhere in the near future has to come, and with that some new music.

But he would need to stop dressing like a Wigger if he were to turn heel and change his music. Otherwise, it's just Jorts wearing Rappin' John Cena

Since when did "wigger" = cut off shorts?
