I also think that by the end of 91, Davey Boy and Warlord had workshopped their match so much that what we have on tape is pretty good. 1990 Survivor Series 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has gotta be some ex football players (collegiate, semi-pro, pro, or otherwise) who watched during the MNW, probably went to Texas or were Bears fans, and decided that this is the guy they wanna be. I watched some of the old Nitros in Chicago, and boy, this man had his fans (especially there first trips there due to WCW's long relationship with Bruce MacArthur and the Wirtz family).

thee Reverend Axl Future Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I have stated it many times: I have never heard an entrance pop like Hogan coming out to "Eye of the Tiger". It is a great entrance song. In my ears, "real" songs will always be better than the ones written for wrestlers - there are obvious exceptions, of course. This is one of the reasons that ECW was great, and the sanitized re-dubbed reruns that are around now are so heart breaking. I have always booed Hogan, and resented him for his backstage shenanigans. Such a boring champ. He never impressed me pre-Hulkamania, Mr. Blassie notwithstanding. - RAF 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note, I also wondered how it would have been if Rick Rude used this song instead of his shitty saxophone WWF theme. I probably would have started liking him much earlier than I did.

caley Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 One spot where Warlord had Mongo beat: appearance! When I saw Warlord in this get-up with the W-Staff and the metallic Phantom of the Opera mask and the big belt, I became a huge fan of his. After a certain amount of matches, even as a child, I came to realize that he was really, really boring. But man did he look cool. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyWhioux Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 although I actually like Rude's WWF theme, if for no other reason than it being so different from the rest of the fare at the time (i.e. not a heavy rock n' roll tune). One of the big problems with contemporary WWE is the feeling of sameness and acts seeming interchangible. Theme music is as much a part of that as ring gear, moves, promos, and can run into the same problem as those when you have an in-house composer of being too similar (since every artist is going to resemble themselves in all their work). Rude's "The Stripper" knockoff was extremely on-brand/on-gimmick and immediately differentiated him from the field. [But "Smooth Operator" would've been just as much so and was way cooler.] 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really love that song.

Who loves to love them? Kick 'em? Shove 'em? Stick 'em? If you want themes that beat you over the head with that try the WCW Slam Jam album. I don't think they were all used for themes but they basically spell out the entire story for each wrestler. And also check out the one for Steamboat. It's very much a Steely Dan type song that I like but it would make for one horrible theme. But if you like themes talking about how women love him but he's a family man then that is the song for you.
