PW Non-WWE Theme Song Tournament

thebostoncrab

Robbie E is on the list!


Only 5 battles left in round 1, and my favourite theme of all time is in the next one.

Mitsuhara Misawa

vs.

Jimmy Rave (House of the Rising Sun - ROH)

vs.

Midnight Express (WCW)

thebostoncrab

Misawa has the greatest theme song of all time. Epic isn't a word strong enough to explain how great this theme is. Even the piano cover (Which I had played at my wedding!) showcases the power of this song. I doubt Misawa will win the the whole thingy just because of the lack of exposure of the Japanese scene in this part of the world, but I hope it makes it through this round.

beakerjoe

Misawa. its a great theme and makes him more of a star than he is. it gets my vote.

Like Real American made Hogan greater, Misawa was pushed higher because of this theme

Alfred Borden

Misawa too. Could be a real dark horse here. Best theme tune for a wrestler outside America imo

Jester252

Midnight Express, I love the opening baseline.

thebostoncrab

Misawa one vote away from victory

A Rogue Hobo

Torn between Misawa and M.E. Express' is just adorably 80's but gonna go with Misawa just because it more iconic.

thebostoncrab

Misawa has made his way through....time for the 4th last battle in round 1!


New Jack (ECW)

vs.

Jimmy Jacobs (The Ballad of Lacey - ROH)

vs.

Abyss (TNA)

thebostoncrab

New Jack for me all the way, never failed to get a pop and was the perfect theme for him!

Machismo Fan

Abyss. Very pleased they changed his music back to this last year, I didn't like the new one.

Jester252

New Jack, I'm too afraid to vote for anyone else.

Angron

Abyss. I like the guy who plays a deranged lunatic more than the actual deranged lunatic.

ShagNastii

I'm voting for Abyss.

Easily one of TNAs best themes.

Alfred Borden

Abyss here, one of TNA's top 5 all time imo. dont like the other two as well.

thebostoncrab

And Abyss is through! 3rd last part of round 1 coming up!


Chris Jericho (WCW)

vs.

BWO (ECW)

vs.

Americas Most Wanted (TNA)

eireannBEAR

Abyss,Scary tune and i might ad his segment on TNA Impact last week was amazeballs!!!

thebostoncrab

Jericho for me, best of a bad bunch, even if it is another rip off song from WCW

Jester252

BWO. Funkier than Terry

Machismo Fan

AMW, I associate that theme song with so many awesome matches.

Alfred Borden

Jericho for me too, good tune. The man never had a bad theme song

ShagNastii

Jericho.

As I said with Jarrett, love the song love the rip off.

thebostoncrab

If Jericho gets 1 more vote he is in

beakerjoe

Jericho for me.... im a Jericho mark and its the only wcw rip off theme I like as it introduced me to pearl jam

Jester252

And here I am the only jiving to bWo

thebostoncrab

Jericho makes it through...time for the second last match of round 1


Booker T (WCW)

vs.

Mr. Anderson (TNA)

vs.

James Storm (TNA)

thebostoncrab

James Strom for myself. It's a theme that suits him and peaks at the perfect time to make a great entrance

Alfred Borden

Booker for me. Probably the theme that relates most to WCW for me which is what I grew up with.

Machismo Fan

Love Longnecks and Rednecks. Storm got the better of the entrance musics in the Beer Money split.

beakerjoe

Kennedy for me, simply because I loved how it suited his return many moons ago

eireannBEAR

Booker T!!! Used to love that tune...The king of cool..Now can you dig it sucka!!!

thebostoncrab

2 for Storm, 2 for Booker and 1 for Kennedy, this could end up being a very close!

Nitro and thunder back to back,it really was a great time to be a wcw fan,if you had tnt!!

Jester252

Booker, a pretty good theme.

thebostoncrab

Booker is one vote away from the best round, will Storm or Kennedy stop him?

Alfred Borden

Cartoon network turning into TNT at 9 on a friday was heaven!

Omackeral

Mr Anderson. Brash and loud, just like the man himself. So I vote for Anderson.......


...... ANDERSON!!!

thebostoncrab

3 for Booker, 2 for Storm and 2 for Anderson, this is the closest one yet!

ricero

I remember that night too, darkest night as a wrestling fan for me.

thebostoncrab

And now for the final battle of round 1!


[B[Jushin 'Thunder' Liger[/B]

vs.

Homicide (ROH)

vs.

Kurt Angle (TNA)

thebostoncrab

My vote goes for Liger, it is everything great about Japanese theme songs in an over the top cheesy way with a love for guitar solos, an infectious theme!

Hate them all,but had a listen and i agree with your choice,liger gets my vote.

beakerjoe

Angle for me. It shouldnt work but it does. Its no Medal but its the next best thing for Kurt

Jester252

not a strong group but Homicide for me purely to for the opening.

Machismo Fan

Oh definitely Liger. I remember hearing it for the first time on an ad on The Wrestling Channel and believing it was the best thing I've ever heard. Plus getting to hear that music hit in the Tokyo Dome was awesome.

thebostoncrab

Liger one vote away from victory

Alfred Borden

Ill go with Liger. not mad about any of the themes but his was well suited to him
