New music being adapted

[MrScott]

Is it just me, or are pretty much all the songs there choosing for entrances so much worse then the originals?

Jeff Hardys
Mr Kennedys
Randy Orton as of the 5/12 raw

all had good excitable music, now i don't get that little jump to look when i hear it.

Though Kennedys is growing on me a little, it just dosen't have that kick his last choice did.

Jeff Hardy's - Not as good as the other one, but not extraordinarily horrible. I'm ok with it for the most part.

Kennedy's - Terrible. It just reminds me of background music in a really crappy infomercial for a new car lot or something. "Generic rock music with fast beat". I don't think it suits him at all.

Finlay - Well, let's see. Does he use his theme, does he use Hornswoggle's, or does he use that one that was only shown once? As far as I can remember, that "one time only" song wasn't that bad.

Shelton - Not bad, not great.

Orton - TERRIBLE. Why did they think that this incredibly monotone and bland song would be better than the catchy song they had before? I thought the whole reason behind entrance music was to get you psyched and pumped up for the match and the contenders...not to put you to sleep and suck out all your energy. Next thing we know, Kozlov is going to finally get entrance music, but it'll be Brahm's Lullaby.

I heard that music Orton came out to tonight, and my jaw literally dropped to the floor. It was horrible. Slow, quiet, and definitely not fitting of Orton. It seems WWE is changing music a lot lately. I'm also not a fan of Kennedy's new music. It's quiet and AC/DC-like. It doesn't fit Kennedy at all. I do, however, actually like Jeff Hardy's new theme. It's not as good as the old one, but it fits him, and it seems more like his personality. It also makes him seem more like a Main Eventer. Either way, I really hope Orton's new music ends up being like his Killswitch Engage theme. They realize it doesn't fit him and he goes back to his Mercy Drive theme.

They're all pretty terrible. I don't know what they keep changing them. Kennedys is by far the worst. For some reason WWE likes to used actual songs now, I guess so they can sell albums of real music instead of themes. Maybe so people hear songs around and think of WWE. I don't know. It's all terrible though and the albums I don't think have sold well since 1998 or something.

I also thought it was pretty funny when Hardy came out and King and JR said "It's that music it's Jeff Hardy" like we were used to the crappy song that he used once before getting suspended.

Orton's New Music fits him real good. He slinks around like a snake just waiting to strike. Thats what his new music seems like to me. Call me crazy but I never really liked his Mercy Drive theme. His new one is just bad ass and fits him to a T. Usually everyone hates new Themes and in time they grow to like them. I have a feeling thats what will happen with Ortons new one.

While I respect your opinion, I really have to disagree. His music is just way too slow, too quiet, and lacks any energy. It sounds like a soft alt-rock/R&B song. I found myself wanting Cena to win, just so I didn't have to hear that music again. And that's bad because I'm not a Cena fan at all.

I think the Mercy Drive song fits WAY better. It has those guitar solos that fit so well with his cocky pose. It's also louder and more energetic as opposed to the new song. And as for your comment about people not liking new theme songs, I liked the Mercy Drive song the first time I heard it. I also liked the Jeff Hardy theme the first time I heard it too. It really matters whether it fits the person or not. And I really don't think this song fits Orton at all.

So does The Undertaker's. It gives him a presence. Orton wrestles a slow match, and walks to the ring slow. Its all about presence. When Orton comes down to the ring you know hes thinking about his game plan, and that hes usually 5 steps ahead of the competition. His new music symbolizes that effect.

I respect your opinion too. You also said that it wanted to make you cheer for Cena. Isnt that the Point???

I truly miss Randy Orton's old theme as it always pumped me up. His new theme is not memorable in the very least. I gave it a chance and listened to it again but it did nothing for me at all.

Mr.Kennedy's is absolutely horrific. It sounds almost as if some emo band is ripping off AC/DC. He deserves a hell of a lot better than that.

I figured Jeff Hardy would never have his theme music changed but none the less it occurred and although I truly loved his previous theme, I happen to enjoy this one as well. Clearly this new theme will never live up to the previous one but it truly suits him. I've taken the time to actually listen to it a few times over and it gets me pumped up which was the intention of the song. They were very wise to add elements into this theme from the previous tune.

Some of the music changes the WWE makes I can't agree with, but quite a few aren't too bad.

Mr. Kennedy - His new music is exactly the same, except with increased tempo. While Kennedy is face, I actually have to agree with this one. His music seems more face like, high impact music if you will. The slow version is more in your face.

Finlay - Well, he seems to use Hornswaggle's music more now, because it gets more of a pop. When he uses the "My name is Finlay" one, still a good pop, but only when he isn't planning on having Hornny interfere.

Shelton - Better for a heel as well. Slower paced, 'full of himself', for lack of a better term. His old one was too fast paced.

Jeff Hardy - The major one. EVERYONE, I have talked too prefers the old one he had. Everyone likes that one more, and so do I. Unfortunately that was the "Hardy Boyz" music, and they needed to give him ME music.

Orton - Living in Australia, haven't heard it yet unfortunately. Although I love the Mercy Drive song. And the majority on here seem to like his old one more.

The WWE must be changing their style of music.

I'm in a time warp. It's 1999 again and all the music in WWE is the same. Half these tunes I couldn't tell you who they belong to, unless a man in Speedos comes out immediately after. The music is ok I guess, but they strike me as songs that aren't worthy of being on albums. Other than WWE The Music Volume 9.

Bring back 80's style music or Jim Johnston or whatever his name is. I demand music that reflects the personality of the actual wrestler. This must change. No more generic rock. Real American has stood the test of time, I doubt the latest Hardy song will.
