The Natural Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 This. Criminal Jim Johnston isn't in WWE or the HOF. So many iconic themes. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SturmCRF Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Honestly, half the reason I find WWE so unwatchable these days is their bullshit, nothing theme songs. CFO$ did some great stuff that was fit to lace Jim Johnston's boots, but these days they're nearly all forgettable trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLowe Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Jimmy Hart was in a band for years, had a single (that was a cover and that he didn't sing on but still) go platinum and hit #4 on the top 100. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gentrys He would then go on to write many iconic themes for WWF during the 80s and 90s.

Zimbra Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Hart is the answer because Jim Johnston never wrote anything that slapped this hard 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Sonya DeVille was arrested in New Jersey on a weapons possession charge. (She's also in the process to get the charges dropped.) She's permitted to have the gun in her home in FL, but that didn't carry to NJ. She's been carrying since her home invasion a few years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Is anyone going to Dax's live show in LA on the 30th? I'm going to be in town that night and really thinking about getting a VIP ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Jimmy Hart did the Three Count theme, which might be one of the ten greatest themes of all time. I love that guy. Great performer, mic worker, and wrestling musician. 8 minutes ago, Robert S said: I somehow hoped the youtube link was going to be Lance Russell's Nose . I always thought that personally, I'd rather date a woman with Lance Russell's nose than date one with Herschel Walker's thighs. YMMV, obviously. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 My favorite part of Lance Russell's Nose now might be the Billy Squirer bit in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Speaking of Dax for his podcast he has a March Madness bracket for greatest tag teams. He's going to discuss it on next week's show but here they are. For some reason Twitter posts aren't working for me anymore so here's the links. https://twitter.com/ftrwithdax/status/1631669064626995200?s=20 https://challonge.com/har5ldw7 Edited March 3, 2023 by NikoBaltimore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shield feels questionable as well since they weren't quite the same as New Day and Freebirds. Roman/Seth & Seth/Mox were their own things as teams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I'm sure he'll have a disclaimer about Japan/Mexico/etc. but as someone who's lived this stuff for three years, the lack of Rene Ben Chemoul/Walter Bordes is too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
