Why don't wrestlers have iconic introductions anymore? The only guys on the roster with iconic intros are Kane's explosion, Taker's gong, APPLEDOUGH and the opening riff to The Game, and I'd say all of those guys are part-time at best.

Lesnar's intro is pretty good too, but he's in the same boat as the other four. What happened to the days of great introductions? Glass shatters, IF YA SMEEEEEELLL, etc.

Bray Wyatt has the best entrance in the company but it's being wasted by having him job every big match.

How do they handle it live? Do the clips that always come in just play on the titantron and the arena goes dark?

Lesnar's guitar riff is up there. Go back and look at his Summerslam entrance from this year. The way the lights flashed, it felt like some shit was about to go down. But, again, part timer.

The Shield had a great entrance, but with Roman's, it's become so diluted and the opening riff of the track is just associated with constant booing now.

Bryan's Ride of the Valkyries was iconic because classical music like that is so unique in WWE and because everybody would fucking lose their minds for five seconds when it hit, then seamlessly go into YES!ing.

The most iconic entrance on the roster right now and probably the closest to the ones you've mentioned is Nakamura's violins. It's really unique, and if the "whooooa oooohhh ohhhhh" thing sticks on the main roster, it could go down as one of those iconic entrances.

cesaro has the ambalamps

Kevin Owens opening riff is good. Itami's intro is the only thing I remember from his CAWness

Carmen Hip Hop was pretty fucking good until HHH decided it got too over and destroyed it. It was absolutely the best thing ever. I remember when Austin Aries leaves Regals office and the camera is slowly fading into the arena as the intro violins of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLYemSbdME4 plays

Too many of the wrestlers have a defined sound bite at the beginning of their music. It takes away from the overall effect. Someone should break the trend and have music which is more subdued ala Mankind's theme:

Roman's seems like it's been redone since the Shield days. Back then it sounded really forceful.

Now it seems higher pitched or something, more like a farty trumpet than a hard bass sound.

SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE USED CAR SALESMAN, SAXTON.

I agree. Asuka's got a really good one too.

C'mon, man, you wanna stand there and tell me his entrance at Brooklyn wasn't a LITTLE special? Maybe just a LITTLE BIT?
