Also had his old theme in mind. But his new theme's slowly growing on me.

Titus had a badass heel theme about 4 years ago. He should not have kept the Prime Time Players theme for his current heel run.

I know what they're trying to do with the ambulance siren, but it just doesn't work. Weird Swiss rap all the way.

>>2620195
That theme was so much better. I remember I was disapointed when he switched themes and then I stopped watching wrestling for 10years and then I return and I see he is still using that shit theme

>>2620003
which of his previous themes though?

>>2619839

I don't care if Orton hated it.....he's an idiot. Burn In My Light is one of the top 5 greatest WWE themes of the past 15 years

I kinda prefer the version of the theme when Heyman managed him. The one with the emergency horn in the beginning.

Don't know why he never went back to his old theme after his WWECW run. It actually has a set up for a pop with the beginning as opposed to slow dogshit he switched to.

>>2619932
The new song fit the new character

Overinflated ego and seemingly meaningful on the surface, but a quick look underneath and you see there's no substance or real artistry

>>2619883
I get why they didn't bring it back though. It doesn't fit with his current character and it has the slight whiff of failure around it.

>>2620188
Nothing's gonna to change what you've done to me!

>>2620225
The original one sung by Michael Hayes.

>>2619827
I didn't even realize he had a theme song. He's always in the ring when the commercial ends.

Not a current guy, but way to fuck up a catchy theme that fit the character perfectly.

That was a cool theme, I just never understood what it had to do with him.

This is basic wiggeritis

>>2620461
First of all, I didn't know Hayes sang that theme!
And yeah, that had more attitude compared to his current one.

>>2620481
AGREE! His old theme was perfect for him, one of my favorite themes actually

>>2620461

WTF that was really Hayes doing the original "weeeeeeeell......well it's the Big Show"???

>>2620475
it played when he debuted. now they just skip right to when hes in the ring. poor guy

>>2619827
Intercontinental champ when?

Little known fact: Vince McMahon sung the original version of "Sexy Boy".

>>2620666
Yep, sounds like Hayes.
And wow, that version sounds pretty fit for a heel HBK. Vince sure sang pretty well for that.

>>2620666
I never believed the rumours Vince had a sexual relationship with Shawn until now

The very first version of his theme is GOAT. There is a major, yet subtle, difference between the first and the current one. His first theme was more country rock, and the new one is mixed differently.

That they traded this out for a series of failed Alliance themes is a disgrace.

Austin's first Alliance theme was based as fuck, they ruined it when they switched to Venomous

OP doesn't even give a good example in his own thread.

IT'S TIME TO FACE THE FACTS

>>2621037
>>2621056

I always figured that that was the point. Austin's old/remixed themes were so iconic and badass that they were impossible not to cheer, so they shit them up a bit (a lot) to help get him over as a heel.

>>2619932
I can't hate on it. He used it during his final run in ROH, so when he "came back" to WWE with his theme from the indies it felt like a nod to the people who had followed him since then. At the time I thought it was the most based thing in the fucking world.

WORD LYFE

>>2620246
To his credit he tried to change it to This Fire Burns which has similar themes but it ended up going to CM Phil instead. It could have worked.

I feel like Aries had a TNA theme that was fuckin rad as hell but I cant find it now

>>2620456
Now it's time to shine!

DON'T YOU SEE THE WRITING IN THE WAAAAALL

I'm counting on him to go back to this when they split

>>2622398
>ywn hear Reby's based piano cover of Slap a Tomato into Obsolete with the Amadeus style intro ever again
Feels bad, man.

>>2622797
Both of Nakamura's themes are good in their own ways.

But YES! That version of Smoke and Mirrors was the best one!

>>2620373
so much this

>>2619832
>C'EST VRAI

>>2623273
LITERALLY came here to post this theme and pic

BASED

The Game was alright, perhaps more befitting of the established, powerful bad guy... with the backing of the boss etc. But My Time perfectly fit the heel looking to come up, with a chip on his shoulder, hungry. The top heel but still struggling uphill against the boss (Vince as babyface, muh daughter), even when he had the belt. Especially with the #1 and #2 guys, both babyfaces, gunning for him, looking to take their title back. Late 99 to WM2000 Trips was GOAT.

>dat Survivor Series triple threat never happened ;_;

Still on topic for this thread I think, Does anyone else fucking miss Entrance Videos? I fucking HATE the format now it's so god damn lazy. It's literally a power point slide and a photo for the entrance ramp. Also CFO$ make 30 seconds of music and loop it ad nauseam and its unbearable at times

>can you handle this can you handle this can you handle this can you handle this can you handle this can you handle this can you handle this can you handle this can you handle this can you handle this can you handle this can you handle this can you handle this can you handle this can you handle this

Stephanie should've kept this theme instead of the shit theme she has now

How about that?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZakjbWPztaY

>>2620481
The shitty AC/DC cover band that did his final theme was fucking trash

>>2623691
They actually still make the entrance videos (which were actually about ten clips played on a loop, not the epic production you seem to be implying). They play on the arena's house screens instead of the Titantron. I don't really know why they made the change; I thought it made TNA look second rate when they did it.

>>2619832
I unironically prefer the current one.

>>2623691
The new titantrons are that way so that they are flush with the other LED screens around the stage, ramp, and apron. They still have the old videos up on the stadium screens. And CFO$ stuff is pretty hit or miss, but when they hit they are godlike. Guys like Owens and Cesaro have the most boring themes ever, but Finn, Nakamura, and Roode are GOAT.

>>2620366
i think it was an air raid siren. definitely the best version of that particular theme hands down though

>>2625183
that was better compare to the current ambulance one

All The Things She Said (instrumental) >> her last one

>>2621056

Damn, I've never heard that one before. I like it.

Also, I like Venomous/Paranoid, but not as a theme for Austin. Too fast paced for him.

>>2622797

I always thought the change of "Smoke and Mirrors" after him being "Undashing" was like, an attempt to "legitimise" him like they did with changing Ryder's theme to a shitty Downstait cover.

Speaking of which, that gets my vote. OG Radio was great.

>>2625733
Agree with Benjamin, that theme song perfectly fit him.

>>2619883
This is the correct answer. What the fuck were they thinking?

really makes you think how once they got rid of this theme he turned into a midcarder

First theme is more heel, second is more face. Kind of the same as Christian's theme, they just never swapped back and forth.
