Is it just me, or is the WWE music production team incredibly weak compared to New Japan's the last few years. The Club's music is just some generic buttrock, Karl's New Japan music was much better:

Even AJ Styles WWE theme, while I like the music, the lyrics are corny as fuck and it just lazily loops over and over (like most CFO$ themes). I feel like it was a leftover theme for the Briscoe Brothers but they didn't want to sign with WWE. AJ's NJPW music was also superior:

The best WWE themes right now are Asuka's and Nakamura's, but even their themes are about a minute and a half before they just loop over and over.
Other awesome NJPW themes:

THIS, MY FREN
Rockey Romero did his own stupid meme mcgriddles theme.
CFO can be pretty lazy if they want to be which is fructrating because you hear something like the Maria/Mike theme and think it might be great, and then you realize they just looped the fucking thing for 3 minutes.
I cant speak for all of them bbut a lot of NJPWs themes are just loops too, but they sound more video game boss battle- like.

a lot of their stuff feels like they have a good core idea & hook, but phone it in when it comes to developing that into a full theme. there are some njpw themes like that too for sure, but most of them feel a little more 'full', i guess. even something like Okada's that's basically just one riff with some fills has a really strong opening sting that gives it presence.
Aleister Black has a good theme.
Nakamura's Subconcious is 100 times better than that meme WWE entrance song.
I miss 2007 Ace Nakamura
>>2953053
And after the first verse and chorus it just loops over and over. There's no hook or bridge.

WWE hasn't had decent tracks since Jim Johnson.
>>2953063
Same with every WWE theme now. People can complain about current themes being worse in general but the looping kills most of them, especially for longer entrances. Roode's fucking theme loops about five times by the time he starts a Takeover match. Most of the Attitude Era themes were about 3 minutes long without looping once.

this is what e drones actually believe. In the best “””"wrestling””””” brand where you’re forced to watch 3 hours of shitty womens and manlets matches and have to pay 9.99 for their WrestleMania moments™ where a 60 yo man buries any possible new talent you can offer.
Wwe is a boring reality show with no real man and no good matches, they depend on old and destroyed 90s wrestlers coming back to survive. Not even the great talent that you STEAL from NJPW can save your dying company.
this is why e drones get so butthurt in all threads for “ MUH STORYLINES, MUH BASED SUPERSTAR, MUH DRAAWS" even though they don’t get a cent of what they make
wwe has never had a 5 stars match. FACT
wwe wrestlers are not even wrestlers, they even call themselves “”superstars””. FACT
any actual good talent that you create is immediately buried to put over guys like Cena or Reigns. FACT
>inb4 some autismo posting pictures of “”” muh draws “””” , “”” muh profit “”””, (that is declining each year)
>inb4 some buttblasted e drone ranting about “le worked XD” “le seething”
>inb4 some total divas mark claiming that the attitude era was good

> GUN GUN G-G-G-G-GUN!
>>2953872
so your response to me saying outside of meme value it fucking sucks is crying about how you can't meme it up in a chat room posting about it any more? Why even reply?
This is unironically my favorite NJPW theme of all time. Chills everytime I hear it.

how can this theme work so good with a guy that kills people
I think a problem with the current state of WWE entrance themes made by CFO$ is that they sometimes half ass make a song with lyrics (Mike and Maria Kanellis and Aleister Black) and just loop it. When you listen to Yokosuke Kitamura's songs most of them have little to no lyrics which makes the looping less noticeable.
>>2952998
80s/90s themes > current themes to be honest.

CF0dime$ are killing the business trying to get their meme themes over instead of the wrestler.
>>2953071
hot take: liger's music > suzuki's
>>2953934
This
Every song they make is like a minute long
>>2954464
Rent free
Dragon gate has the best themes
The short looping music is fine when it's lower midcarders and you don't hear their music a lot. Main Eventer Seth Rollins should not have a fucking 20 second loop
>>2954494
Dragon Gate basically copied Seth Rollins' theme and made it 100x better than the original
