PW WWE Theme Music Wars Tournament -

connemara man

Cm Punk has that initial hit that I think makes a good intro, but Kanes has a weight to it that suited him and his style. I think Kanes intro will always be remembered so i will go for Kane

Kankan14

I came into the thread to vote Ass Man and got sidetracked

I was gonna vote Punk here but couldn't be fooked with this comp anymore now cos that Regal theme wrecks my head. If the comp was called Cheesiest theme ever it would prob win hands down tbf. But I can't take part any longer as I see the Regal theme going all the way.

Ah now Kankan, dont be like that. TBH i think Regals theme, though it may have a slight cult following. It had a lucky draw so far but I can imagine other stronger themes ultimately dominating it. Dont be disheartened. In the last round it was a case of 2 cheesey themes against eachother.

Angron

I think Regal's theme will be like Head Cheese. It'll get surprisingly far, but I just don't see it winning.

Omackeral

This thread has it all... Screw jobs, dusty finishes and now KanKan taking his ball and going home. Brilliant. (Wonder is it all a work??!)

Punk over Kane for me. The interruptive nature of the theme just screams 'big F'n deal'. Then there's the bridge to the main part which is kinda chaotic too. Cult of Personality to advance

ricero

i love cult of personality great song and it suits punk. so punk to advance for me

Jester252

CM Punk for me. I, Jetser252, love CM Punks Cult of Personality. Cult of Personality suits CM Punk excellently. The song, Cult of Personality, is a perfect description of CM Punk attitude. Cult of Personality opening riff including the break is great for CM Punk to interrupt other WWE superstars.

I hope my vote and reasoning are clear enough :pac:

beakerjoe

Its 5 votes each folks, next vote clinches it!

gerTheGreat

Have to go with Punk. Crowd still pops to it. Was a great change up from his previous theme and debuted during the summer of Punk.

Angron

Dern it.

Sorry, you can't vote for Shelton Benjamin in this round.

beakerjoe

And CM Punks cult of personality theme comes back and slays the red giant in kane.

Next up , an iconic attitude era theme, takes on the theme of the choosen one

D-Generation X - Break it down

vs


Drew Mcintyre - Broken dreams

First vote to six wins it and votes must have a reason to count.

gerTheGreat

DX. It's iconic. It encapsulates the attitude of the Attitude Era. It helped launch one of the biggest stables of WWE.

linvoysblues

I thought Punk was a goner there, glad to see him fight another day.

Tough choice this one, I like the McIntyre song as a whole, but don't associate it with any big moments, whereas DX is usually followed by a rather large pop and the excitement that something big was gonna happen.

For this reason, I'll plod for DX.

Jester252

DX.
Drew has a good song....., note the word song. We're looking for the best theme. A piece of music that when it plays, your hype levels go to maximum. DX is one such theme for me. You knew that these guys could kick ass just as good as they joked around and you where in for a treat.

The theme that led two legends down to the ring has to beat the song that led a footnote to the ring.

Furious-Red

DX is iconic

x43r0

I enjoy drew's theme because they actually gave him a song rather than a generic mess but the DX theme just has so much history and importance attached to it before you even begin to discuss the intro, guitar riff and rebellious lyrics that helped define the attitude era

DX to go through

Omackeral

DX for this reason. That song has two versions of an intro. You can go with 'Are You Ready' for the epic build up to the pop or you can go with 'Break It Down' for the quick interrupt. d-generation X to advance

Moneymaker

Ouch. DX is an absolute icon so I have to go for that.

Broken Dreams is a great song, but it's just that. DX transcends that level so it's DX for me.

cathalio11

Absolutely mortified that Regal's theme knocked out Ass Man.

Going to log in every 30 mins to make sure I vote against Regal next time he's up.

beakerjoe

DX head past the cocky early theme which pushed McIntyre to Intercontinental gold

Next up 2 ECW originals clash


Chris Jericho - Break The Walls Down

vs



Tazz - 13

FIRST TO 6 WINS AND PLEASE GIVE REASONS

Moneymaker

Jericho. Pretty iconic these days and a good song to boot. Taz's was kind of cool but way prefer Jerichos.

gerTheGreat

While I'm happy to see either theme get through, I'm going to pump for Taz. It encapsulated his badass hardcore image. Plus it was my go to theme for Smackdown on the original Playstation.

cathalio11

That long moment of nothing between the 11th and 30th second of Jericho's annoyed me. Also, I remember that it took a good 10 seconds to skip his intro on one of the Smackdown games which really pissed me off.

Loved hearing it again upon return but I'm going to go for Tazz because "Break the Walls" pisses me off so damn much and I'm still raging over finding out that Assman got knocked out.

x43r0

This is probably the toughest one for me so far as I like both a lot.

Gonna go for Jericho though. I feel it just nicks it as it holds up when played out at length whereas Tazz's becomes repetitive after it's brilliant opening

linvoysblues

Love Taz(z)'s theme, the flatline and the beat is a great theme to walk down the ramp to, especially if you're a bad-ass like Tazz.

But I'm afraid I'm gonna have to vote against him in favour of Y2J. Hard to think it's nearly 15 years old (albeit with minor changes between versions). Jericho clearly is avid about music, and the fact that he hasn't wanted to change his theme over the years speaks volumes about how good this one is.

Chagan

Tazz. Another case of a simple piece of music being super effective at getting over the nature of the character. Jericho's has always been one that I didn't hate but I didn't particularly love either.

thebostoncrab

It's tough, 'cause I think both work beautifully, especially for their build ups then eventual bang...however what tops it here is the brilliance that finally hits after the first "Break the walls DOOOOOWWWWWWWNNNN!", it just can't be beat.

ricero

Y2j for me. Great theme and iconic. Suits jericho perfectly

Jester252

Y2J. An iconic theme are a good song in one. Work excellently with Jericho rocker/raver image.

CSF

Y2J. Mostly just for the epic intro after the countdown

beakerjoe

Y2J bgets past the Human Suplex Machine Taz to advance


Next up, two great move sellers collide ......



Dolph Ziggler - Here To Show The World

VS




Bret Hart - Hart Attack

First to reach six votes wins it and only votes with reasons count!!!

gerTheGreat

Bret Hart all the way. Great theme. Always got a big pop when it hit. Worked for both his face and heal runs and massively out-shadows the crap that WCW used.

thebostoncrab

Maybe a controversial comment, but, after the initial moment of greatness that is the opening....I think Brets theme kinda sucks. It becomes very generic very fast and nothing more of great interest happens, just like Austins theme. I think people get excited by it because it's Bret rather than a good theme.

Dolphs theme has that brilliant opening pop also, and it's not the greatest theme in the world by any means, but it hold my attention a lot longer than Brets, so I know I'll most likely be alone on this, but I give it to Ziggler.

Deadlie

Bret. Love the squealed intro.

Also, I despise that Ziggler one. Hate, hate, hate it. It gets stuck in my head, I hate the singer's voice and that tippy tappy drumbeat in the verse is awful.

x43r0

I completely disagree

I think Bret's holds up well when played at length. That and the iconic opening riff is enough for me

Bret to advance

cathalio11

I'm going for Dolph here. Bret's just never got to me.

The actual rage when something cool is happening and then Dolph's intro comes on wins this one for me.

Furious-Red

Dolph suits his gimmick perfect

deadybai

definitely Dolph

sorry forgot to. Brets is repetitive and I think that Dolphs is better because it suits his gimmick.

kwestfan08

I'd give it to Dolph. The theme just suits his character so well. Also the pop it got the Raw after Mania 29 is a favourite PW memory of mine.

thebostoncrab

I know I voted for Dolph, but I honestly didn't think anyone else would, I'm very pleasantly surprised!

That's no problem, I just do not want a repeat of what happened to Assman

linvoysblues

I'll join the rest of the Zigglypuffs, Bret's opening riff is iconic, but not sure if the rest of the theme suits him. Whereas Ziggler's suits him down to the ground, when he comes out he the song becomes part of his energy.

CSF

Has to be Dolph, that song will always have fond memories for me from that cashin. I'm going to go watch that on youtube now actually.

ricero

Bret for me I just love that opening riff

beakerjoe

Dolph some how manages to knock out Brets entrance theme in what has to be considered an upset.

Next up The Rated R superstar takes on the WWEs creepiest superstar...


Edge - Metalingus (Alter Bridge)

vs


Bray Wyatt - Broken Out of Love

First to 6 wins and all votes must give a reason to count

gerTheGreat

Well this is a tricky one. Edge's theme has that immediate pop, some pretty decent lyrics, works for both Edge's heal and face characters and ties in well with his persona overall. Meanwhile, the Wyatt's theme is immensely different from the majority of other WWE themes, has an underlying spookiness and is something that you could easily have on your iPod.

It's a hard choice but I'm going to go with Edge's theme because of it's longevity.

linvoysblues

Wyatt's theme is really growing on me, fantastic song that really kicks in a minute or so into it. Unfortunately we never hear that on screen because they cut it off too early.

However, regardless of who it's up against, my vote goes to Edge, my pick to win this. Great theme, no other gets me as pumped up and excited as that intro, whether he was coming out for a match, or just interrupting a promo. Always made a great return theme as well, i.e at the Rumble or cashing in.
