AxB Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Just announced Big Swole vs an opponent of Britt Baker's choosing. Which Nyla responded to on twitter. It was funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 That theme really makes me miss "Oh, Radio" Man did I love that a ton and it fit his character at the time so damn well. But hearing a snippet of this new one is further proof that maybe wrestlers shouldn't be enlisting Downstait for themes ever again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I still like Cody's (recorded. not live. never live.) because it fits his pseudo-HHH act really well. The All In theme song was so bad it was good. Still, AEW's music in general leaves something to be desired. They have some good ditties but mostly bad to terrible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I like Cody's theme by Downstait and a couple other ones done by Downstait, but this one fucking SUCKS. The chorus is fucking awful. Look, if you can't hit high notes like that, don't try! Go an octave lower or something. I also don't think the music fits Cardona's personality well at all. My god. That chorus. It's one of the worst I've heard. Fucking auto tune yourself or something. In fact, it's Cardona. Why isn't his theme music like some auto tuned GTA Vice City shit? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Yeah, and the stupid brass rings allusion and stereotypical post-WWE rage lyrics are something else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 My god. It's fucking awful. I think that might be my least favorite music in AEW. I'm also not a fan of Orange Cassidy's entrance music. I honestly always envisioned Cardona/Ryder as a Sting-esque kinda guy and thought he should have some music like that. Like, take Sting's original music, the fucking awesome one, and do a take on that or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to rattle off a list of the good ones in AEW, it'd probably be: Cody Kenny Hangman The Young Bucks Darby Archer Butcher and the Blade Private Party's original theme (I might be the only one who liked it) Lucha Bros MJF Best Friends Moxley PAC (Man do I miss this guy) Cage Those are just what I can think of. I mean, that's a decent amount of inoffensive theme songs with some of them being really good. I do agree that most theme songs are pretty whatever, but some are legit bangers. Io's might be my favorite for the American promotions, Okada's is probably my favorite theme song overall, and some of the top AEW guys have really good ones. AEW also has a lot of shitty, generic WCW themes, but it's whatever they can get on a budget so I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Oh yeah Hangman's is good and also he has a really strong video package. It makes him seem like a really big deal when that galloping horse hits the screen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Yeah, Hangman's is essentially a rip off of the Ecstasy of Gold remix that you can hear in Modelo commercials. I need to find the Cody Faulty Logic meme (somebody posted it in reaction to his "heels and faces are outdated" thing) and do a new one that says "DOWNSTAIT IS A GREAT BAND FOR THEME MUSIC."

SturmCRF Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Cardona's music is terrible, but I still sort of like it? Abysmal 2001 nu metal is still better than a lot of current WWE themes, cos it's more wrestlery. Too many WWE top and mid card guys have instrumental tunes, which is fine when they're Mr Perfect level great, but how often is that the case? It used to be the case that when your entrance music got lyrics, it meant you'd evolved into a main eventer, now their two main champions have generic instrumentals. So AEW is clearing a very low bar by getting themselves a shitty wrestler metal house band, but I'll take it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abysmal 2001 nu metal is still better than a lot of current WWE themes, cos it's more wrestlery. Yes and no. Some of our fondness for that music is because it clearly evokes feelings about a different time and place. For many acts in contemporary wrestling, it'd be well out of place. For what Cardona has been presented as in the past and what we know of him outside of the ring, I'm not sure leaning in that direction and baking the brass ring promo into that music is the way to go. But maybe he's looking at an image change and feels strongly about it. Who am I to say? Just for shits and giggles, let's all enjoy Downstait making his old WWE theme worse: Edited August 5, 2020 by Andy in Kansas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
