10.†‬Tyler Breeze
A theme that I sorely miss.†‬Tyler’s original supermodel gimmick has taken a back-seat since teaming with Fandango and creating a psuedo-Zoolander†(‬psuedoolanderâ€?) ‬gimmick.†‬Breezango’s theme meshed both Dango’s and Breeze’s themes together to create some funky remix,†‬but it didn’t truly match up to Breeze’s custom entrance theme.â€
Nothing screams narcissistic quite like a theme that goes on about how great they look.†‬Shades of Shawn Michaels,†‬Breeze’s theme helped him stand out from the rest of his class whilst on NXT. But as per most call-ups,†he ‬was soon to be subjected to jobber entrances a month or two after his debut.â€
9.†‬The Ascensionâ€
Speaking of failed call-ups,†‬my boys Konnor and Viktor are about to get some loveâ€! ‬The common ground amongst most fans is that people enjoy The Ascension’s entrance.†‬Rightfully soâ€! ‬They have the shredding guitar,†‬the seizure-inducing titantron and they shout a lot.â€
It’s a theme that triggers this need to go crazy,†‬to mosh and scream along with themâ€. It’s ‬Something I feel could be a real drawing point for The Ascension if they were put on TV a little more.†‬It’s basic,†‬easily identified and unique to them.â€
The amount of times I’ve seen someone suggest the flaming guitar dude from Mad Max:†‬Fury Road show up and perform their theme at a Wrestlemania; ‬you can’t deny that you want to see this happenâ€.
8.†‬Sami Zaynâ€
Everyone loves a good underdog babyface.†‬Everyone loves a theme they can sing along to and dance around in joy when they eventually walk away with the title.†‬Everyone loves Sami Zayn’s theme.â€
At first I was a little dubious about the Saturday morning cartoon jingle,†‬but I’ve come to appreciate that it perfectly sums up his personality and his character.†‬It mirrors the thrashing and ominous tune of his counterpart Kevin Owens,†‬which even though it’s probably unintentional,†‬speaks for this generation and who should be heading it as the flag-bearers for good and evil.†‬On that note,†‬Kevin Owens, you got a good theme too, sir.â€
7.†‬Bobby Roode
The moment fans at an NXT taping first heard the word Glorious,†‬they were hooked.†‬Every single person on this Earth,†‬aware of wrestling or not,†‬has burst into a serenade of Bobby Roode’s theme†(‬fact based on scienceâ€)‬.â€
I caught Bobby in his debut tour for NXT in June of last year,†‬where he appeared with a pretty generic theme involving lots of strumming and a little bit of Southern twang,†‬for some reason.†‬Instantly I thought there was no way Roode would become a star in WWE if he were to be sent out with that as his theme.†‬Thankfully they rectified that pretty quickly and gave him this absolute marvel of a tune.â€
It’s a magical moment when thousands of people sing along in unison to Bobby’s theme.†‬I think a lot of his success needs to be credited to this song.â€
6.†‬AJ Stylesâ€
Jimmy said that I couldn’t not put this on the list.†‬So here it is.†‬AJ Styles.†‬Pretty cool theme I guess.†‬Yep.â€
Seriously though,†‬it’s hypeâ€. ‬One of those which I didn’t think would last long,†‬considering the tendency to use more rock/metal based themes for the current superstars,†‬but it was a pleasant change from the usual hearing church organs and RnB.â€
Phenomenal stuff.
