Best fit song

MVP12

Occasional Pre-Show
I have been thinking about this all weekend and how the Nexus's entrance song fits them perfectly and that there are many good ones out there, now and in the past. Who are your top 5 'best fit music'.
 
Drew Mcintyre- broken dreams, i dont know how it works but it just fits him perfectly
Miz- I Came to play, it fits his whole " im the miz and im awesome" gimmick
Edge- Metalingus, its the start which fits him "You think you know me" it was a perfect match to his ultimate opportunist(sorry if its spelt wrong) thing
Jack Swagger- all american, need i say anything?
Cody Rhodes- smoke and mirrors, this fits his whole "Dashing' cody rhodes and its a good song.
Overall I reckon Broken Dreams is the best theme song shaman's harvest really did a great job
 
My top 5 are:

5. Chris Jericho's "Break The Walls Down". It fits his Y2J gimmick that everyone loved in 2007.

4. The Rock's "If You Smell...". As soon as you hear those three words, the crowds start to explode with cheers hoping that The Great One will appear and electrify the millions........

3. Bret Hart's "Return The Hitman". It fits him 100% because he is after all, 'The Best There Is, The Best There Was and The Best There Ever Will Be'.

2. Triple H's "My Time". Back in the 2000's in the beginning of the 'McMahon-Helmsley' Era, Triple H used this theme and I think it was the best theme he has used so far.

1. Goldberg's "Invasion". This is the theme he used in 2003-2004. It fitted what his gimmick was, A BADASS beast who can destroy anyone. When people heard the infamous drumming, people knew that someone is going to get their head kicked in.

NOTABLE MENTIONS

Chris Benoit's "Whatever". An awesome song that fitted his Rabid Wolverine gimmick.
The APA's "Protection". This song not only fiited their gimmick, but their lifestyle. Two guys who do what they want, when they want.
 
sorry, didn;t see that it said five...

Kurt Angle and the You Suck chants w/ his theme

Mr. Perfect "Perfection"

and an theme for Raven like "What about me"?

Overall, Demolition had the best fitting theme music...Heavy metal riffs with pounding drums and memorable original lyrics followed by two dudes in S and M gear and face paint with spikes and leather masks.... How could anything be more fitting?? " Here comes the Ax and here comes the Smasher, the Demolition, walkin' disaster, pain and destruction are our middle names!"
 
The fact that I'm the first person to mention Hulk Hogan disappoints me. I mean c'mon "Real American" as the theme title, it just oozes Hulk Hogan. He was the true American and the true role model for kids with the "say your prayers and eat your vitamins". It is the perfect fit. No theme fits anyone better than that of "Real American" and Hulk Hogan. The two go hand in hand.
 
1) The Wolfpac theme song for the red and black attack NWO, this is for me the best theme of all time. It was just so badass and fit them well becaue basically they were like a pack of wolves. That howl at the start just sets the tone.

2) MotorHead- Line In The Sand better known as Evolution's theme song. Now this was perfect for the group it just fit, words cannot explain.

3) Goldberg's is always a noteworthy mention, as soon as those drums hit you knew somebody was NEXT.

4) Stone Cold Steve Austin- Just pure bad ass. NUFF SAID.

5) Finally Triple H- My Time was and is really his best theme fit him very well, and really outlined the cerebral assassin. his current music is a close second.
 
How can anyone forget Eddie Guerrero's theme song that fit him with the whole"I Lie, I Cheat, I Steal" gimmick he had going on.

I also think Chris Benoit's "Whatever" worked pretty well for him.

Christian's first(women version) and second(male version) "Just Close Your Eyes" fitted him and still fits him pretty well too.

Jeff Hardy's "No More Words" worked and described his gimmick pretty well, as does his current song "Modest" which he and his band actually wrote.

As for my final choice, I've got to go with..............Zack Ryder's "Radio". Yeah, I know that it's not that great but it works well with him and his character.


Other choices would include:

The songs that EVERYONE seems to be forgetting are "Burn in my Light" and "Voices" for Randy Orton and his gimmicks.
 
At the moment the best fitting song would have to be Cody Rhodes' or the Nexus'. Dashing Cody Rhodes has a theme that suits the gimmick, and the nexus well the songs lyrics just work with the nexus
 
I think that Kane's theme over the years have suited him well, the music just fitted the monster that he used to be, and is now. I think it just works...

The Undertaker! His music fitted right from the start, and has changed along with him. It's almost like his music has made the character at times. As he got darker and darker, so did his music... Especially when he went from the funeral march to the newer ministry themes. they were just spooky and fitted the big cloaks and dark stuff he was doing at the time witht the ministry and also followed on the corperate ministry worked as well...
Then there was the bad ass stage, it helped introduce this new biker character, then there was the "dead man walking" theme which fitted the evolution of the biker, and now with him going back to the older style music along with the deadman theme - it just all fits. This is music made just for the character, not just generic entrance music...

As much as I dont like him much, John Cena's music at the moment has that same effect as The Rock or Stone Colds did. It has energy that matches Cena's (unending) amount of energy and enthusiasm! The crowd goes wild with the start just as they did with glass shattering of Stone Cold and the "can you smell...." of the Rock

And yes, the APA is another one that just seemed to fit, thug music!!

This is my first reply to a post so hope it wasn't too bad! and it goes where it is supposed to!
 
1. The Undertaker - Guess why ...

2. Kane - His old theme burned fit him very well, his new is also ok, but the old was better

3. Randy Orton - His Voices theme fits him very well. When he hits his version of the 5 moves of doom, it really looks like the voices are "talking" to him

4. Chris Jericho - Break the walls down - Since it is made by himself especially for him it fits him very well.

5. The Miz - I came to play - of course the "Awesome" line at first fits him. But the rest of the song it could just as well be The Miz singing all that :)

Some others that haven't been mentioned, John Cenas Word Life, Evan Bournes Born to Fly (i guess thats what its called?) HBK's "Sexy Boy", and of course Daniel Bryans new theme!! (maybe the last one is ironic ... think about it)
 
In no particular order...

DX's theme - Anti-establishment group with a theme that sounded a helluva lot like Rage Against The Machine who were/are anti-establishment

Kane's attitude era theme - Can't remember what it was called but it had no singing and just sounded so sinister and monstrous

Undertaker's current theme - He has had some pretty bad themes, Rollin and that one he had during his 'Big Evil' gimmick did him no favours, but the one he has just now has such a grandiose and really epic element to it

Jericho's - I still love watching the video of his debut in WWF and his promo video combined with his theme were just perfect. Preferred that combination rather than his current setup, but it's still Jericho so no complaints

The Dudley's attitude era theme - Combined with the pyro shooting down onto the stage, the destructive sounding nature of it and then seeing these hulking brutes come out always made me think the Hardys were gonna end up in a hospital whenever these teams faced off
 
#1 Undertakers theme song. His entrances are legendary.

#2 Stone Cold Steve Austin. Glass shatters you knew who was coming.

#3 LOD's. "Oh What A Rush." Loved hearing that and seeing them walk the down the isle towards the ring.

#4 Ric Flair. Not the current TNA version. His classic WWE/WCW version

#5 Ultimate Warriors. Understand not to many people like him, but his theme was just about pure energy with running to the ring and shaking the ring rope.
 
Best fit musics in no particular order

1) Cody Rhodes, "Smoke and Mirror", I can't imagine how more fitting can a song be with the gimmick. I mean I feel the song helped him make the word "dashing" mentioned alot.

2) Randy Orton, "Voices", I mean when he faced Triple H at Mania, he mentioned he can't think properly, etc... Now he can see from the back of his eyes (from the voices lol). It just helps his gimmick become more effective.

3) Eddie Guerrero "I Lie", same as Randy uses this gimmick in ring need to say less.

4) Evolution "Lying in Sand". I mean when you listen to the song, you feel that motorhead sang it for the group (I dk if it really was the case). The song started with Evolution, every word said makes them look greater and opponents weaker, fits perfectly.

5) Undertaker "all of them" all of the songs that infrered on him being a dead man was great. One though was my personal favortive was the "american badass", keep rollin and he just continues riding, I loved it.

___________

Its abit of topic but anyone who says Drew McyIntire's theme song fits is wrong in my opinion. The song is ... beyond him. When you listen to "Broken Dreams" you think that someone great..maybe a former 5-time champion is coming through the aisle. But, someone that isn't that muscular or known comes along, I think it wouldve fit someone like triple h solo heel run perfectly.
 
The Miz- I came to play (lyrics somewhat miror his rise in WWE)
Triple H- King of Kings (Self explainitory)
Edge- Metalingus (Just a bad-ass rock song that works)
CM Punk- This Fire Burns (When you hear the music blast at the beginning it's just sick)
Drew McIntyre- Broken Dreams (Describes Drew's attitude well)

These 5 definately have the best music that suits them and gets the crowd going when it first hits.
 
Chris Benoit's theme suited him very well, he was a no nonsense badass and his music just fitted it.

Cody Rhodes' music suits his gimmick aswell.

Randy Orton's current song suits him aswell, after he hits most of his moves he looks like voices are talking to him.

Edge's song suits him for some reason, I don't know why it just does.

Batista's song suited him aswell for some rason like Edge's suits him for some reason.
 
Right now, I think the best fitting song is “We Are One” by 12 Stones when incorporated in with The Nexus. From the start of the stable, they have always assured us that they were chosen for some higher purpose and although that has yet to be revealed, I do think it makes a lot of sense to have that lyric included in the song. Out with that, I just think that the title of the song fits the motif of the group with distinction. They are one. They are a unit and they are very committed to that belief. They have acted like a pack of wolves since day one and I don’t see that ending anytime soon.

Apart from that, I think that Edge’s music is the best fit. As some people have commented on before, his music fits him but we scarcely know why. I believe it is because of the length of time that he has had the same music. It has become a part of his in-ring persona and when that music hits, there is simply no escaping who will be coming to the ring. It fits him so well because it has managed to integrate itself into his overall personality. For me, that is pretty rare but it has been accomplished with Edge. It is a great fit for him.
 
Ted DiBiase's theme suits him perfectly. It matched Legacy too. Ted (and Cody) are all about stepping out of their father's shadow and emulating them.

"Its a new day (Its a new day)
Its a new generation (Its a new generation)
Its a new day (Its a new day)
Now we're never look back
No we're never look back"

Reading it, it is all about looking to the future and being the future. Ted is a fresh Superstar and is part of a new generation of wrestlers that have come through between 2006 (CM Punk) and 2010 (The Nexus). It exemplifies the "new day" feel in WWE at the moment.

Dolph Ziggler's theme also fits him well. "I Am Perfection", the perfect song for someone vain. And yet, I don't think it would suit SmackDown's other resident narcissist, Cody Rhodes. There is a reason in my eyes, and it's this: Ziggler is often compared to Mr Perfect, and the 'buzzword' in the song is "perfection" . So the song has some resonance.
 
Bret Hart - Either the original or the 1994-97 version. I don't care for how they rearranged it for the new one. This music is synonymous with Bret Hart, and always will be. It's part of why it never felt right when he came out to the ring each time in WCW. It's a relatively simple piece of music, but it totally embodies the spirit of the Hitman and all that he stands for. Perseverance, never giving up, being true to yourself, doing the impossible, and always believing that "even the biggest dreams can still come true". Growing up and hearing that music, I found it incredibly inspiring, and just having it in my head during tough times made me feel like I could get through them. The way he hobbled to his feet, barely able to stand and raising the belt above his head after he beat Yokozuna at Wrestlemania X, it just would never have felt the same or had such an impact if they were playing different music.

Stone Cold - From the moment you heard the glass break, you knew what was coming, you knew who was coming, and yet you still didn't know what he was going to do and couldn't wait to find out. They have often done the initial noise/chord/quote at the start of a theme to gain attention, but the shattered glass brought people to their feet like nothing else, with the possible exception of Undertaker's bell. The bad ass quality to the song itself suited his character quite well, face or heel.

Undertaker - I remember him coming out to his initial "Rest in Peace" theme when I was young and it was kind of chilling. He set the stage for a dramatic entrance in wrestling, and I don't think anyone can argue with that. The current, remixed version works pretty well, with the electric guitar adding a bit of an edge to go with his more modern take on the Deadman. The Ministry era theme was absolutely epic, and had this great sense of foreboding and evil to it. The choir, brass, organ, violins, repeated tolling of the bell and his speaking in tongues over the music combined with the crunchy electric guitar riff created an unparalleled sense of drama that has yet to be equaled in a wrestling theme. The bell has always been the most recognizable sound in wrestling music, to the point where they incorporated it into his biker music. As for that, fuck the entire gimmick. I can't think of any worse way to destroy the mystique of a character.

Mr. Perfect - There are few words that are really needed. This music was epic, and always made me think of conquest and military battles in ancient Rome. Coupled with a character as bombastic as Mr. Perfect was, and the fantastic, superior quality of the matches that Hennig put on between the music, few people were ever as deserving of such treatment, and even fewer could have made their presence while it played believable or justified.

Hulk Hogan - This song, as much as I hate when it (still) gets stuck in my head, embodied the spirit of what the Hulkster preached, as well as what he did in the ring. He was all about American values, saying your prayers, taking your vitamins and always coming out on top, even when the notion of doing so was just plain silly. He was really an embodiment of that, in an almost Christ-like cultural phenomenon (even I took Hulk Hogan vitamins), and his music hitting made kids jump out of their seats. Hulk was practically everyone's idol, at least for a short time, and his music went along with him and his character perfectly. This is all why him going to WCW, turning heel, wearing black and coming out with different music was so ridiculously shocking at the time. When this music stopped playing, it was like the Hulkster and Hulkamania died with it.

Honorable mentions: Demolition, LOD, HBK, Goldust, Razor Ramon, "The Model" Rick Martel, and The Mountie (yes, damn right I went there).
 
There are many many songs that could be named here, but I have managed to narrow it down to 5.

5. nWo- the distorted, crackling effect made it sound like the nWo was a rival, illegal station taking over the airwaves, which was the whole idea of the "outsiders" gimmick. The storyline with nWo buying up airtime on WCW tv made this theme fit perfectly.

4. Shawn Michaels The "Sexy Boy" music perfectly fitted the arrogant mid 90s HBK persona. The lyrics suited his character and Shawn singing his own music was great

3. Undertaker- The "gong" at the start, and the eeirie music, scary but awesome, fitted the dead man character, as it truly felt like he was from beyond the grave and gave you chills. The Ministry version, when Undertake was in his more satanic phase, was terrifying, but brilliant for the character.

2. The Brood- Similar the the Undertaker idea, the epic Brood music had a kind of supernatural feeling, gothic and creepy but at the same time such a cool piece of music. The combination of the music, the lighting, the weird entrance video and The Brood rising up through the ring of fire was one of the coolest entrances ever

1. Hulk Hogan- The perfect entrance music for the American family favourite character, the cheesy riff, the cheesy lyrics fitted the 80s Hogan character better than any other music could ever have. It is instantly recognisable, guaranteed to pop a crowd and is still loved to this day
 
Here's some of my best fit songs:

Kane- the Finger Eleven "Slow Chemical" I really loved this song and thought it was the BEST of all his songs he's ever had. I am so not a fan of his current one right now.

Booker T- "Can You Dig It Suckaa" I am so in love with it. From the crazy sounding "Blughghgh" or whatever he does at the beginning..and all the synthesizers in it. I still love that song.

RVD's- "One of A Kind"- I think I still prefer this MUCH MUCH more than his TNA song. Don't get me wrong, I like both, but his one of a kind seemed to fit his persona better.

Lita- "LoveFuryPassionEnergy"(remix)/original- didn't matter if she was heel/face, this song personified what she was all about. Attitude, attitude, attitude. She was unlike any other diva you knew of.

Stephanie McMahon/HHH "My Time"- I think this was the coolest song that was used during the McMahon-Helmsley era. Great mix of attitude and devastation.

Edge-"Metallingus"- What more can I say about the ultimate opportunist? This song was able to capture the essence of this man, whether he was good or bad. (Personally, I like him better as a bad man. :p)

Y2J- "Break The Walls Down"- Need I say more? The complete package for this guy. Thrilling us since 1999, and the song does NOT need to be changed.

Other notable favorites:
Christian-Just Close Your Eyes (2009), Chris Benoit-Whatever, The Brood theme, Raw theme by Union Underground-Across The Nation, ECW Theme- Drowning Pool- Bodies, Shane McMahon-Here Comes The Money; Randy Orton- Burn In My Light & Voices.
 
I think my favorite all-time music is My Time for HHH. When you heard the "You want some? Is this on?!" and then the echo sound hits and you hear "yo, can ya hit me with that triple H?", god damn, I just had to go youtube it to hear it again, it's so epic. It really personified HHH. It's basically a different version of the original DX with the whole "you think you can tell us what to do" except HHH's version says "Not gonna listen to anybody tell me who and what to be!", it's almost the same song just more personal.

Other than that, I've ALWAYS loved Slow Chemical by Finger Eleven, Kane's theme from a few years ago. It had the obvious Kane intro, but then it has lyrics, and the song in its entirety is nothing short of bad ass.
 
Miz – I Came to Play
This song fits him very well and when he debuted it with his new ring attire he stood out as a wrestler for the first time and not a washed up reality TV star. His music helped overcome that stereotype and enter the world of being respected as a wrestler which he’s always wanted. His music fits him very well and with the “I’m AWESOME!!” at the start makes a nice touch.

Jeff Hardy – No More Words
Jeff’s music in WWE for 2008 and 2009 fitted him really well and it would mark the crowd out hard when it started playing. His celebration of winning the WWE title stands out for me as a great time his music fitted him. The lyrics relate to him as a person and it had a feel of the Hardy Boyz old theme.

Kurt Angle - Medal
His theme fitted him perfectly in WWE. It had the Olympic feel and was a great entrance theme for Angle. The “You Suck!” chants made it something even more special and memorable and I think Kurt actually enjoyed it. His music is very fitting for his gimmick and personality.

Triple H – The Game
His music has always suited him but The Game is my favourite, the one he currently uses. It works with his entrance, spitting the water, the lights on the ramp. Everything about Triple H’s entrance is meshed very well with the theme.

Chris Jericho – Break Down The Walls
I’m a mark for Jericho and this song. When he debuted it worked so well with his entrance. I hope if he turns face again he goes back to standing with his back to the crowd as he does his arms out pose as the music hits. I love his theme and hope he never changes it. Break the walls down is a great song which fits him perfectly.

On another note, how good is Jim Johnston?!
 
OK before I give my top 5 themes I think that a major round of applause should go to Mr. Jim Johnston for creating and collaborating with so many great artists to give us these amazing themes that we associate with our favorite superstars of yesterday and today. :worship: :worship: :worship:

First Honorable Mentions go out to: Kane - This Fire Burns by Killswitch Engage; Stone Cold Steve Austin - I Won't Do What You Tell Me by Jim Johnston; John Cena - Basic Thuganomics by John Cena; Christian - Just Close Your Eyes by (2003) Waterproof Blonde (2009) Story of the Year; & Degeneration X - Are You Ready by Chris Warren & Jim Johnston.

Now on to my Top 5 Best Fit Themes

#5 Randy Orton - Voices by Rev Theory
Such a great theme for our new WWE Champion. When he turned heel and talked about having IED (Intermittent Explosive Disorder) I was thinking to myself for such a dramatic turn in Character he should have a new theme and not 2 weeks later here comes this song and after reading the lyrics I said transformation complete for Randy Orton, great tune.

#4 Triple H - The Game by Motorhead
You know you have made it in this life or this business when you can get your favorite band to write you a theme song that you come out to the ring with week in and week out. Case in point here when HHH began using this theme it personified him so much that he really became at that point the bigger than life superstar that we all know and some of us love to this day. Best line from this one is "I am the game and I want to play".

#3 The Rock - Hollywood Version by Jim Johnston
This was the version used after he returned to the WWE around 2003 and just had turned heel. The titan-tron was unforgettable the chopper flying over the Hollywood landscape and as you approached the main tower you heard the rock whisper "Is Cookin". When he came back and you finally knew who it was you came unglued to know that Finally the Rock had come back to the WWE. Amazing.

#2 Chris Jericho - Break Down the Walls by Jim Johnston and Adam Morenoff
This goes back to the night he debuted in the WWE when he interrupted The Rock and told us all that "RAW is Jericho" and since that day when ever you heard that countdown clock start you knew that Y2J was coming to the ring to prove that he really is the best in the world at what he does. 11 Years with the same music and I for one am really glad that he never decided to change it because it just fits him no matter what persona he is playing. Favorite Line : "Step into the light and then you'll know; You've been stopped and dropped by the walls of Jericho"

And Finally Number 1......................................................................

#1 Undertaker - Phenom (2009) by Jim Johnston
This is the current version of his theme that he uses today and by far my favorite of all the ones he has had but every song he has ever used in the WWE has fit the character he has had. But just the current one really personifies the Dead Man himself.

Let me know what you think.
 
stone cold - that broken glass was just perfect it fit him, and whenever that glass broke the crowd went nuts by far one of the best themes EVER

the rock hollywood theme- it show the world that he was going hollywood n had the LA backround and the beat was just nuts, glad he went hollywood he left on top and didnt stay holding on his career like most wrestlers do..

the NWO theme, the wolfpack and hollywood hogans voodochild jimmy hendrix these were the best beats in wcw hands down, hogan coming out playing the guitar with the belt priceless..

Triple h my time - my time, it says it all went from been a funny guy in dx to been all about business and its his time and it was, winning the belt marrying the bosses daughter with that wicked storyline (fuck PG attitude=all time best EVER in wrestling history)

Randy orton voice - well we all know how this fits randy
 
Stone Cold - For all reasons already mentioned.
Undertaker - Again, for obvious reasons.
Drew McIntyre - "What once was yours, now is mine..." Just perfect for his attitude.
Kurt Angle - Just fit him perfectly and when the "you suck" started it worked perfectly for his heel role as well.
Randy Orton- He hears voices in his head, they speak to him, they comfort him, they talk to him...

Honorable mention to Vince McMahon. Not an active wrestler, but when "No Chance!" hits the speakers it fits him to a tee.
